My theory on teasers is that it's a competition thing...big fish thinks it's stealing dinner from a smaller fish...survival of the fittest..

I've used them with success ahead of live eels in the fall when fish are keyed in on shad and herring drops... ditto on the beach when the fish are keyed in on small sand eels... by letting the eel swim down to the depths I want to fish I can "nymph" fish a slow drift and let the eel do all the work...the teaser has accounted for some quality fish when the eels were pretty much being ignored....
