DCF - I use spinners, and have done it a few different ways. Both have a barrel swivel on the main line. Then tie on your plug leader (maybe 3 feet) with a palomer, leaving the tag end long (long enough so that you can tie on the teaser, and have it a couple feet from the plug.

Does it wrap around the main leader - yes, occasionally, but usually not so often to be that annoying.

The other thing I've done, is the same as above, but leave the tag end long enough to make a double trace back to the swivel, and tie it again with a uni or half blood. Then, tie 3 or 4 overhand knots in the double trace every few inches. The advantage here is that the multiple overhand knots and the double trace helps the teaser stand out from the main leader, and you can also change teasers without retieing. (Just slip the end of the double trace thru the teaser eye, and over the hook). The disadvantage -I don't like the second knot on the swivel, and I also often wonder about comprimising the teaser leader line strength with those multiple overhand knots in it.
