I have been using bucktail teaser for fluk for a long time, but I seldom used ready made bucktail teaser with hooks as most bucktail teaser's hooks in the market are dull and too thick, and I have used custom bucktail teasers with Gamatatsu or Owner hooks mostly.
But I found PROFISHCO's bucktail teaser's hook are pretty sharp, not too thick and looks strong.
Did anybody try these teasers ? I am going to test those teasers for fluke soon.

size comparison between bucktail teaser without hook and PROFISHCO's bucktail teaser

Haven't used them but I'd like to

Kilsong-

Those are some great looking teasers

. Any ideas as to where I can pick some up in the Nassau County or Western Suffolk areas?

eskew-

I'm good how are you? Thanks for those links, I would love to get a few of these. Just hope the fluke like the way they look as much as I do . Thanks again!


Just looked at the link. If anyone else in the Nassau or western Suffolk area is interested, Causeway, Combs, Freeport B&T,& Donart all carry them,according to the site.

The teasers look good, but fluke wil give the final answer.
When Spro came out first, we didn't know the Spro would become so popular among fluke fishermen.

I Dunno Kil:

As someone who flyfishies the salt, those teasers look like they may catch more fisherman than fish. There is Waaay too much material on these. Flytying rule of thumb....less is more.

I used alot of clousers last year and they did fine....but I found that the heavier I dressed my flys the less bites I got. Also Fluke like flash material more than any other fish I know.

The teasers you picture looks like a lame attempt at a lefty's deciever tied with poor quality hackle.

 

[KILSONG]

Prefessa,
Where have you been ? You missed real good tile/seabass fishing last two weeks.

I said Fluke decide. I use custom bucktail teasers mostly and some have very much material than I like, but they don't seem too bulky when wet. You never know until you try.

Hi Kil:

Been working like heck of lately. I havn't taken a day off all winter. My Boss wrangled himself a promotion so that means more stuff for him to delegate on me...I need to get better organized.

Which Custom teasers do you have good success with on fluke?? Can you post Pictures of a few good ones??

Bulk does have it's time and place when trying to match big baits or to induce movement (Bulk in the head of the fly will set up movement in the tail)but, for most inshore species like fluke, bass and weakies sparse generally does better....most small baitfish are translucent.

 

[FishWisher]

Do they have those in cod size? Cod like bulk.

Here are my favorite teasers by pnutbunker.
But the use of bucktail teaser by PROFISHCO and pnutbunker are different. I like to use bucktail teaser when I use long leader bouncing off the bottom and I use pnutbunker teasers on hi-lo style rig.

Thin and Bulky teasers

Kilsong-

I bought a few of pnutbunker's teasers at the Freeport show last month, they are true works of art, almost too nice to use

!

I have always used teasers such as those. Would you happen to have any photos or diagrams of rigs you would use the PROFISHCO teasers with, you said you use bulkier teasers on a longer leader bounced off the bottom. Thank you

!

pnutbunker's teaser is very beautiful and strong. I must ordered over 100 teasers for fluke, seabass and cod this winter.

You are talking about my KIL-R-RIg. I'll post pictures of the rigs tomorrow.

It was a fashion to use two Spro on hi-lo fluke rig last year,one big Spro at the bottom and one small spro on top as you see in the picture. I use Harvey's teaser instead of small spro on top with good results.

 

[JC30967]

Excellent!

Thanks Kil ! Yes, I used the 2 Spros a few times the last year or so, also used them above a ball of appropriate weight.

Can't wait to see the Kil-R-Rig

! Thanks again, I really enjoy your forum, loads of terrific info, not just on fluke, either

!

 

[Prefessa]

Hi Kil:

After you posted abouth the two spro rig that' s when It inspired me to use a clouser instead. The clouser is a flyrod equivalent of a jig. My Clousers were tied on a 1/0 eagle claw 245SS hook whick is very sharp and short shank. It turns over beautifully. The fluke inhaled them! Chart/White with gold crystal flash worked extemely well around South beach in sandy hook.

Would like to see exactly how the Kil-R-Rig is tied.

Also keep me posted if you will be fluking in our home state of NJ this year. I should be on top of my game with regards to work by then.

Hey Kil, is this hi-lo made with a dropper loop or a three way swivel?

YOu can use both, but majority of fishermen use drapper loops.

 

[KILSONG]

Here is a picture of 'kil-r-rig'.
It is very simple as you normally see on fluke party boats.
I usually bounce very hard with the rig. The teaser on the second hook is a barometer to see how fluke are active. When they are sluggish, they usually hit the bare hooks at the end of line and they hit teasered hook when they are active.
Depending on how they are active, I adjust my jigging motion.
When I feel they are very active, I use bucktail teaser hooks on both.

What Professa said is true. Most time I don't use bulky teaser for fluke, but I use bigger and bulky teaser when I target big fluke.
I learned a lesson when I fished with Corsette for trophy fluke in Martha's Vineyard. He used big 3 - 4 oz bucktail with one foot squid strip. They constantly caught big fluke on them while I caught only smaller fluke on my rig.

Where are you attaching the lead on that rig Kil?

Thank you Kil!

Kil-

Very nice looking rig you have there. With your reputation, I'd hate to ventue a guess as to how many doormats it has "Kil-ed"

.

Thanks again for being so generous with your info
