Teasers work great. You tie them on about 3 feet above the plug. Work the plug just like you would if the teaser wasn't there. In addition to getting strikes on the teasers , I think you will also get more hits on your plugs too.
Solid color teasers in white and Chartruese and black work well. I also like high contrast teasers like Black over white. I also like a graded teaser which is white on the bottom then goes tan , olive , green, black from bottom to top.
Some guys tie in a dropper loop and some just tie the teaser on a seperate 6 to 9 inch length of leader from a swivel.
You can use teasers with anything , not just poppers.
I think the teasers give the effect of a bigger fish (plug) chasing the smaller fish (teaser) and this gets the bass competitive and hit the teaser before the bigger fish (plug) gets it! It also gives you a different size offering.
Vary the size and the color of the teasers until you get some hits , then stick with what works. Some guys use multiple teasers. I have seen people tie on 3 and 4 teasers above their plugs. I think this is not a good practice if you are a catch and release fisherman.
