It's
a
matter
of
energy
expended
versus
energy
replenished!
Fish
have
learned
through
their evolution
that
there
is a
limited
amount
of
things
that
they
can
catch
and
eat
without
using
too
much
of
their reserve
energy.
In
order
to
catch
and
eat
something,
they
have
learned
that
they
will
need
to
expend
certain
amounts
of
their
energy.
If
predators
are
expending
too
much
energy
without
getting
any results,
they
will
soon
perish.
This
is
the
reason
why
nearly
all
lures
(good
and
bad)
will
eventually
catch
fish.
A
predator
is
constantly
on
the
hunt
for
an
easy
meal
that
will
only
require
a
limited
amount
of
his
energy
to
catch.
Occasionally
even
a
bad
lure
will
flop
in
front
of a
starving
fish.
We
use
teasers
to
capitalize
on
this
feeding instinct.
You
can
actually
attract
fish
by
letting
them
think
that
there
is
an
available
meal
that
will
not
take
an
extreme
amount
of
effort
for
him
to
catch
and
devour
it.
Just
look
at
it
this
way.
If
you
were
a
fish,
which
boat
would
you
be
more
attracted
to?
Would
you
charge
over
to
the
boat
that
has
a
small
handful
of
swiftly
running
lures
being
quietly
and
uniformly
trolled
like
soldiers
in a
march
or
would
you
be
more
attracted
to
the
boat
with
things
flopping
all
over
the
place
like
injured
fish
during
a
giant
feeding
frenzy?
For
any
predator......
that's
an
easy
choice!
Should
you
use
big
teasers
or
small
ones
or
does
size
even
matter?
Many
offshore
species
are
often
attracted
right
to
the
transom
by
good
trolling
teasers.
As
long
as
you
have
the
maximum
action
you
can
comfortably
handle
and
control within
your
spread,
size
really
doesn't
matter.
Small
teasers
will
attract
hungry
fish
directly
to
them.
Really
large
teasers
attract
curious
fish
to
see
what
they
perceive
as
being
a
fellow
predator
that
might
be
chasing
his
next
potential
meal.
Hopefully,
the
predator
you
attract will
then drop
off
the
teaser
and
be
attracted
to
your
baits.
I
actually
prefer
the
biggest
teasers
possible
because
there
is
less
chance
that
the
fish
will
hit
the
teaser
itself
and
simply
leave
disappointed.
I
personally just
want
to
attract
predator
fish
to
get
closer
to
my
trolling
lure
spread.
Also, a
bigger
teaser
is
going
to
be
easier
for
the
predator
to
sense
from
a
distance.
What
type
of
teaser
works
best?
All
teasers
tend
to
help
attract
fish.
Some
have
different
methods
of
doing
it
| |
◄ |
|
A
mirrored teaser creates a huge
flashing through the entire water column
that can cause a fish to be attracted to the
spread. On certain bright days, this can be
a very effective method of getting them to
look at your lures. |

Extremely
large
lures
also
make
great
teasers,
especially
the
ones
that
have
a
very
erratic
action
and
tend
to
look
like
an
excited
fish.
Other
predators
are
going
to
be
in a
hurry
to
get
in
on
the
"frenzy".
Pull
large
teasers
hookless
and
on
the
lightest
leader
that
you
feel
comfortable
with
in
order
to
get
the
most
of
the
action
that
was
designed
into
that
lure.

Strings
of
small
flashing
spinners
or
small
lures
(often
called
daisy
chains)
in a
row
look
very
much
like
a
school
of
baitfish.
When
you
mix
this
with
a
lot
of
other
activity
within
a
spread,
this
can
look
very
inviting
to a
hungry
cruising
predator
looking
for
a
quick
lunch.

Artificial
"birds"
-
that wobble and splash on the surface tend to tell the fish
that
something
is
going
on
right
in
the
immediate
area.
They
usually
determine
that
it's
worth
the
effort
for
them
to
investigate
further. |

Large
brightly
colored
boards
cut in the shape of a fish and boat fenders painted up to
look
like
a
large
fish
all
do
one
important
thing.
They
tell
predators
that
there
is
currently
"life
happening"
at
this
location
and
it
is
going
to
be
worth
expending
the
energy
to
check
it
out. |
