Never tried it myself, but I believe Tony Stetzko caught Bertha on a teaser in front of an eel.
My only concern is getting hung up on a rockpile because an eel runs deep where many plugs run higher in the water.

I've done it when switching from a plug to an eel just for goofs. Rig it the same as w/a plug. Not worth it if you ask me, since the eel is down low, you hang up more w/the teaser.

Depending on how you fish teasers could pose a problem. It all happens on the "take" or "strike". If the fish hits the teaser I want to set right away, if it hits the eel I set after I drop. Either way you may miss some fish depending on what they hit. That's why I don't use them with live eels.

...imho...
less teaser leader with the eel for the obvious reason- also most people underestimate the importance of a longer leader when fishing teasers- see Daigneault- you don't want the bass brushing the bottom bait when it tries for the top...

Not necessarily true. You can make the teaser weedless by tying in a mono loop as part of your tying process, if you tie your own  You can also wrap the shank with lead to affect the sink rate of your teasers. |
Domination takes full concentration..
