Has anybody used a "snapper popper" with teaser for Albies/Bonito? I danced with many of these buggers last season, and caught just one (on a green SPRO jig). I tried throwing many things (Deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s, Crystal Minnows, Fast Tracs, jigs, etc.), and often found the wind to be a problem. On a few outings, I noticed a man and woman in another boat who seemed to be hooking up fairly consistently. Looked like they were tossing a snapper popper, which cast well into the wind and seemed to be able to keep it in the strike zone as they worked it. Not sure what the teaser was, but I imagine it was a fly or small jig or tube? Anybody used these with success?
