Ok I made up one to see how it felt on the end of my rod and if it looked right. [img="http://www.rgsiroisco.com/teaser.jpg"] It doesn't feel much different and should cast the same. I used a dropper loop just below the tie-in at the barrel swivel. I figure using that I could have a bunch of pretied leaders with the dropper loop tied in, since I don't want to hastle with that on the water. Then using a double surgeons loop at the end of the teaser leader, I can swap out pre-riggeed teasers of varying colors by making a simple loop to loop connection.

Tied in the teaser using a loop knot, figuring I would want as much movement at that connection as possible. So how does it look, this about right? The only thing I don't like, and the stripers might not either, is the two loops for the teaser and main leader connection. I might try tying direct to the upper (main line side) barrel, but I'd still would be concerned about that fly spinning around the jerkbait leader, but not sure if thats bad or actually good? I'm sure the dual loops wouldn't be a deterant on surf gear, since you might be looking at several feet of teaser leaders anyway, but on this short leader I just don't like the looks.
Thanks and tight lines.
