Now that the question comes up...

Last September I was out getting a mixture of bass and blues. It was mostly bass and I was fishing slug-o's (minor investment) so I stuck with mono leader. I'd get into blues from time to time and I'd pick up a rod I had rigged with a ranger and wire leader.

I was chasing breaking fish and birds and one time when the fish were a pretty far cast from the boat, I picked up my popper rod (w/teaser). After some major blow-ups, I was on. It just felt funny for a few moments, then I fought and landed a schoolie... minus my popper. He was on the teaser.

I had been peeled by bluefish on a couple lures and slug-o's during the day, so I figured it had been a blue.

So... I might have had a combo on for a little bit. But I've never seen the combo landed. I'd bet BC and FW have had 'em over the years as they are religious about using the teasers.
