What is everyone using for teasers?>  dredge?  daisy chain lures?  squid chain?  Red bull cans?  fenders?  where do you run them on your boat?

Running 9" fender, with three large lures behind which runs subsurface. Currently running it off dredge bar type set up off port side.
Those that say it can't be done are being overtaken by those doing it.

on the starboard side a large pusher and then  a tuna tummy or a Mahimahi rubber lure, worked 2 weeks ago and both long crn and long rigger caught Marlin, 2 in 1 day.

The pusher sitting on the 1st wave with the tummy about 2 meters behind

Interesting topic. Hooker 5 squid daisy chain off the stern cleat... In clear window next to prop wash...wave 1.5-2ish on same side as long corner and a bit closer in than the Short corner... No idea whether it's working or not, have only raised and hooked one fish in 4 days. More likely us not being where the fish are. Any thoughts on these vs birds or just a big pusher appreciated

We have run short teasers off and on for 25 years and to be perfectly honest we have never had a fish come up on a teaser or take a lure behind a teaser.

I always run a lure on shotgun behind a boone bird and have had plenty of success with this.

But there are boats that use teasers, and drop baits back, that do very well.

I am not saying they don't work, we just have never had anything come up on ours. we have tried witch doctors, fenders, red bull daisy chain (use this a lot), a paddle wheel thingy which was popular in the 1990's.

I must admit when we ran a  super large lure (ie teaser)  big 7 strand kona head,  the short lures got hit hard, smash the hookless kona head, then straight to the short lure.
