Big, Wood, Mirrored teasers?

[Capt_John]

I do not run teasers when blue marlin fishing. I definitely would if my targeted species is whites, sails, spears, stripeys, etc....but not blue or black.
just my preference.
and the witchdoctor works, but I don't like the sound they make.

Ditto for me. When targeting sail,whites,etc. I use a teaser on one side and a dredge on the other.
Now when I target big blues, everything in the water has a hook in it. I've got lures big enough to call teasers, and they have a big hook set in them ready to go as well. I'm not saying that big,mirrored teasers don't work. That's rediculous to say because they do. I just prefer to capitalize on any blue strikes you might get. Some fish come up and swipe a teaser once and their gone. I'd rather that one swipe involve a hook if I can help it.

Flat, I think I have a video from the bridge of those teasers flashing when I fished with Garry. I believe that was the day a blue jumped clean over the teasers to get at the squid chain.

His big eyeball finally focused on the flash and bam.......sceered the chit out of him

When ya get a minute throw a link over this way....I would like to see you guys on film, fishing together......

Thanks for all the input guys. That would be cool if you could find the video of it being pulled.

You should be careful when pulling this thing, we had one out and a blue one came in and damn near tore the rigger off the boat he ate it and broke the 300lb mono we were pulling it with and hauled ass with the teaser, we found the teaser floating couple hundred yards away and never saw the fish again. They do raise fish!!!!!!!

Damn! I bet that was a site! I have always seen it run off the transom.

We pull one off the rigger and a BB Breakfast Candy on the other side when we are blue marlin fishing with a horse or mack right behind them, I have raised more on the pink one vs. the blue one. We have been using these things for at least 10 years. We run it off the riggers to keep it in the clean water so we can see it better.
