What teasers do you guys take on trps with you

 

[hairbone]

I have been bringing a combination of different surge tubes in different colors along with twister tails and shrimp teasers. I have been using power bait squids rigged on a 6/0 hook with great success as well. I have had a lot of pollock hit the squid on the way to bottom. I really do not think the type of teaser matters but having a good color selection to choose from based on what color is working really helps put a few extra's in the box. HB

I just bring 9/0 Norwegian tubes to attach to the front split ring of the jig and flies for teasers

. You can make it as simple or as complicated as you like--the fish don't usually seem to care!

Does anyone know were I can get cod flies I can't find them anywhere

I have always done well with just a plain old 6 inch grub above the jig- glow and pink seem to always get their fair share.

I usually use pink or blue small rubber shrimp as a teaser. Kilsong those cod flies are amazing, I wouldn't fish with those, I would keep them in a glass case!

Fantastic flies Kil, I just got my shipment of Gamakatsu open eye siwash and am looking forward to spacing out at the vise and dreaming of steakers. I often let my creative juices flow BUT, I have taken a great deal of ribbing from the boys. Although I will continue to utilize flashabou,and eyes, I have come to the realization that at 200 - 300 feet down, it doesn't make much of a difference. I have even seen times when a simple Feeney fly will outfish even the most intricately tied fly. Go figure. It won't stop me, as I love to tie flies, but I will be sure to tie some simple sparse ones just to be on the safe side.

Here's a photo of Codzilla52's codflies, he does good work, pretty much any color you want, I love blue or purple, but they all work.

I use open eyes so I can attache a swivel if I want to. Also are handy in changing out hooks on jigs. Haven 't had one fail yet. Prefer the ss open eye siwash 6/0 to 9/0 for max. penetration. Have found larger is better when attached to a jig.

Cod have a tendency to roll on the way up, especially BIG cod. A good swivel on the fly and on both ends of the jig can prevent the fish from getting leverage and pulling the hook out.As we all know, there are no guarantees.
