properly rigged teasers, especialy those being tied on heavy sharp hooks like the above, should not pose to many problems. while obviously if the fish are eating everything in sight it may seem logical to just throw a plug it might actually be wiser to remove the hooks from the plug and only hook fish on the teaser. beyond allowing to present a small bait without the risks mentioned by dave what this will do most importantly is assure that you have one solid hook in the fish and that said fish has no other eroneous trebels or plug parts to smash into rocks in attempts at freedom. in places like cutty hunk, the block, and mtk i have been seriously plagued by large fish managing to rip hooks out with the assistance the ever present boulders |
