Wifey says I can blame this on the Shagman....... :blush:
 
But I tried... my new secret weapon to replace my old one. I do like that the new one has screws so you can strip and repair it!! :-)

I have broad shoulders....I can take the blame anytime.

It is a Pakula Witchdoctor and prob the best marlin FAD/ Teaser you can get... the difference between when I use it and when I don't is noticeable.
I have an old one which is so beaten up it does not work anymore....The old ones were wood and become waterlogged but the new ones are different and can be repaired and stripped down... they invariably get bad bill rash. I don't know what it is but the needle noses love them.

what i like about it is that it is out of the way and does interfere with your spread unlike the spreader bars and other teasers we have tried.
just secure it properly to the boat can imagine the long stares on the deck if it had to come undone

oh btw i sure it had something to do with the 3  :billf:

Watched the vid on the Pakula site... interesting indeed. I've never been bill fishing (or even tried trolling for that matter) so yeah...  :uarocks  and I become even wiser (hard to believe but true ) w;k
