Good comments and suggestions. I might try the long tag end off of the swivel next. I was pretty cautious with the plugs at first - I was using 9" black and blue/white sluggos at first and then switched to a bomber when they were just stripers. Used the darter and switched back to black sluggo and that was bitten in half. Then got the bluefish on blurple bomber. Little cautious about throwing the needlefish and pencils after that.

I didn't have too much trouble with tangling, which kind of surprised me. Maybe the lack of tangles was due to the stiff 30lb mono that I used for the teasers. I also kept the length of the teaser line to about 8".

Can't wait to try it again - might have to rig up some small 3" sluggos on some fly tying hooks and give them a shot. Those casting eggs look very interesting. Might have to pick one up and give it a shot.
