Teasers

Thu, 2012-02-16 08:47

Running a Mirror teaser when trolling for Metro Mackerel will definitely increase your chances, Alot of the time it is the lure that is right next to the teaser that will be hit first. There arent huge amounts of mackies around metro waters so you want to put everything in your favour. I was fishing with Ryan last friday and we did a bit of a troll and the Xrap 30 that was sitting below the teaser was nailed by an approximate 13kg Yellowfin Tuna. We do exactly the same thing when chasing Mackies.

We sell these instore if you live locally and want to have a look, We can tell you how to set them up and where to position your lures.

Cheers Blake

I was going to ask a similar question, but for up north (steep point and monkey mia)?  Do you have an on-line store, I live up near the swan valley and don't get down that way too often.  I was thinking one of the cheaper options?

the only two i know of are the witch doctor at $195 or the boone sundancer at $30.....  it would be the cheaper option as a first up purchase.  if it proves effective and when i don't have anything better to spend my money on, i may go the expensive option!

teasers

I never use teasers up north - don't need them, macks are plentiful.  But for metro I agree with Blake and sammy - thin on the ground down here, so anything that increases your chances. 

Interested Blake, where would you would advise to position a witchdoctor?
