Teaser Rig crazy-
This is the method that i set up my teasers.
At the end of my line - I use a small spro barrel -
I then tie in my fluro leader - to whatever appropriate length I want - and set up my plug
( Peter G at the SWE was the one that taught me to move as much of the terminal tackle off the plug- and i agree that it does work alot better when the big barrels are off the plug )
I then tie in another length of fluro into the barrel shorter than the original length
I pick out a fly - usually smaller than the plug - and tie it onto the second line
I tie it at a length 0 usually about 6 - 8 inches in front of the plug - so that the visual effect is that the fly is being chased by the plug
I have never been very fussy about the fly choice
Something that looks good to me at the time
( your fly needs style points )
And that is the sum total of the rigging
It occasionally twists - ( i find that the twists are usually a result of a wide profile fly that spins in the air -some of the broad profiles that they have in the shop are real air spinners - yet rarely twist in the water ) but the occasional twists are worth the issue
the competition to get the thing that the other thing is going to eat - seems to turn them on more towards eating what you are presenting - and frequent doubles
I am sure that there are other - or better ways to do the rigging - but this method has served me well |
