I sometimes have trouble with the teaser wrapping around my line, like was mentioned flourocarbon is much stiffer and is less prone to it.

But my problems often come from the cast. Sometimes when I'm throwing conventional, I tend to throw side arm and it sometimes gets my rig spinning thru the air. Sounds weird but its true. I usually just "correct my swing" and go over the top and it stops.

As far as line strength... I used to use 20lb, but when you get a couple keeper size fish on, they can destroy that quickly.

I use 30lb. flouro minimum (actually I get my teaser rigs from fisherwoman and she uses 30lb, but if I was going to tie them and when I re-tie, I use 30lb.).
