Universal Teaser/Fly

Universal Teaser/Fly

Here is a teaser/fly that you can use for Fluke, Bass, Weakfish or almost any saltwater species that will eat a small baitfish. It can be used on a "teaser rig" for any of the above species and used with a swimming plug or bucktail. Many double header bass have been caught using this fly/teaser rig and it is deadly on Fluke as well. You can add a thin strip of bait or spearing to the fly as well. For Bass I use a 50lb leader, for fluke a 20lb. It is simple to tie and you can vary the hook size, color and amount of material to imitate different bait fish.
