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.

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...
