I rig my teaser set -up the same way as Sandman.It holds up and the teaser stands away from the line.
Don't think I ever got a bass over about 20 lbs or so on a teaser either.
Sandman,I've been using 60lb.Floro lately.Sometimes 40lb.Give it a try.It costs more sure, but I think I get more fish because of it.Sometimes I am the only one getting hook-ups and I'm using the same lure as everyone else on the same school of fish at the same time..Once Ok, but consistently?....well I'm convinced it makes a difference.I've been using Varivas floro which is pretty stiff,has good abrasion resistance and ties good knots.
Believe me I am as skeptical as anyone about "this is the greatest thing since sliced bread" lines.I am a reactionary Dinosaur and "if it ain't broke don't fix it."is my motto.
