| Hi Guys,
I would like to pose a question to all of you and get some opinions as well. Teaser Blades on Bucktails and Spinnerbaits - Yes or No?
I have had more requests this year than in previous years for teasers. I have fished with them before on my spinnerbaits with some success but had limited success with them on in-line bucktails.
What are your thoughts on teasers blades? Which to do prefer Colorado or Indiana? Why do you think they work? Thanks for your input. I am anxious to read your posts.

| Chris,
My father-in-law makes bucktails and started using brass teasers a couple of years ago. I now never fish a bucktail without one on. Last year in Canada the fish would not look at a regular bucktail, but were all over the teasers. Like anything, I'm sure there is a case for both in certain situations, but I am convinced they work. Shoot me an e-mail if you have any questions. [email protected]

Location: Elgin, IL | Good pic. Thanks Steve. Extra flash on a Tinsel Tail?...didn't think that was possible! I presume that adding the teaser blade was pretty simple?
