UV green and Purple haze for me, i like the Rhys davis anchovey special,I tune them with a slight bend using stainless steel wire inserted down the fishes back to achieve the perfect slow role that imitates a wounded fish.
......picked up some Kripple K -602 heads; used them off WCVI and in our local Vancouver waters with pretty good success!! They are a definite staple in my gear box....they trumped my favourite head which WAS the purple/black/chrome one.

One of the best days I had was with no teaser heads and sticking them whole
However, I am a cheapo when it comes to teaser heads so I don't buy many colour patterns.....I prefer to spend my money on hooks.
Glows, Clear, UV purple, Red and UV Green are the staples for me.
Finally Used some UV White ones which worked very well one day...maybe it was the difference in putting fish in the table that afternoon but I doubt it. ..got those from Derby a couple of years ago and finally got around to putting them down. a Rhys Davis Anchovy Special Knock off. an OA12 colour. Cohos loved it too.
These days I do my fishing in the Vancouver, Howe Sound, Fraser River Mouth and Gabriola area.

After buying just about every color pattern out there I have two that I use every day now for the last 5 years or so. Its the "Bloody Nose" or Army Truck Pattern. Early morning or overcast days I use the glow and on sunny days I use the chrome version. And Like Andrew P I use a wire in all my heads.
If this image works it will show you the basic idea of the wire in a teaser head (http://www.bdoutdoors.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=138761&d=1243916986). Copper vs stainless doesn't matter, I've used stainless in the past. I forget what gauge but you just want something that is only stiff enough to hold a bend in the anchovy.
For a few years now teaser heads have been sold with two holes in them meant for adding wire, otherwise you'd just punch the wire through like the pictures attached.
A well brined anchovy doesn't really need the wire IMO... I rarely use them anymore but they are effective for guaranteeing you have a roll, especially in poorly brined or non brined bait. My 2 cents anyways

Ya thats probably the one, a good colour but I'm not so sure it has UV in it....
The good thing about teaser heads is they show teeth marks very well. It's easy to remember which ones worked well by just looking at them.

I just buy only one that is black made of steeliness still, and i also like golden color also, fished beside my house in the river bank.
