FAQs

What colors are best for tuna teaser lures?

Some top colors for tuna teasers are pink, magenta, black, blue, and green. Combinations with pink/green or blue/white are also effective. You generally want bright, attractive colors that provide strong contrast in the water.

Should I add natural bait to my teaser lure?

Adding some fresh natural bait like squid or sardines can increase the fish-attracting scent of a teaser. But teaser lures also work very well on their own due to their visual appeal through movement, flash, and color.

Where is the best place to position teaser lures?

Teasers are generally positioned 3-10 feet behind the boat wake on outriggers, downriggers, or flat-lines. Spreading teasers at different distances and on both sides of the boat covers more water to attract fish.

How fast should I troll tuna teaser lures?

An effective trolling speed for tuna teasers is 6-9 knots. Going too fast or too slow can reduce their fish-catching action. Adjust your speed depending on the teaser, water conditions, and tuna activity.
