Guys - I've been using Needlefish squids as teasers for a number of years. Makes a great sand eel imitation. Comes in many color combos. Works when spearing are around as well. I rig them on 3/0 or 4/0 hooks.
Used on the west coast for salmon.

Here is a picture. Let me know if anyone needs a link to a source.
I'd rather be fishing!

Does anybody who uses Red Gills load them...

I rig mine with a 3/0 hook and this spring I tried inserting a small Sluggo weight into the hook cavity to to see if it would help to keep the teaser from acting like an air brake on the cast...

I dunno, I suppose I need to do a side by side in the daytime to see if it really does make any appreciable difference...
