Skirt Teaser Lure

The basic designs incorporate weighted heads, imitating a bait fish, coupled with various skirt materials and configurations. Generally these lures are from 4 inches to over 13 inches in length.

Some incorporate jig heads with chambers filled with small BB’s. As the lure is trolled the jig head rotates and produces sounds from the BB’s inside the jig head chambers.

Skirt materials are plastics, polymers, or feathers in bright colors.

Some boat skirt lures are used in conjunction with a jet. A jet is an airplane looking device which serves as a trolling depth control. This technique is used frequently in Alaska on King Salmon.

Skirt teasers are trolled at speeds varying from 5 knots up to 16 knots and higher. These lures are designed to produce turbulence in the water and leave large bubble trails for the purpose of attracting game fish.

Common species caught with these lures include Spanish Mackerel, Dolphin, Tuna, Ling, Sail Fish, Tarpon, and King
