Just looking at the picture ans assuming those are 12 inch square tiles in the background , I don't like your rig. The plug is too close to the teaser and the teaser dropper is too long. The lead with the teaser should be about 6 tp 9 inches and the plug should be 30 to 36 inches beind the teaser (or should I say that's how I like them). The dropper loop and the teaser loop intertwined is nice for quick change but I like to pretie complete rigs. I take about 4 feet of 50 lb ande. I put a swivel on and then using the double surgeons knot , I form a loop with the swivel in the loop. The tag end from this knot should be about 9 inches long. To that I tie the teaser so the teaser ends up about 6 inches fro the main line at the knot. If you use a nice stiff leader like the 50 LB ande , the teaser lead will stick out stiffly at a right angle to the leader going down to the plug. This stiff whisker dropper helps keep the teaers from catching the main leader line and fouling the rig. The teaser getting fouled on the leader is the main reason I like to keep the dropper short and stiff.
