Jughead vs teaser heads and brined chovies

[Sangstercraft]

The jughead package says you don't need to use brined chovies. That right there would make using bait a lot easier. Anyone have an opinion on which is fishiest?? Anchovy in a jughead or brined anchovy in a teaser head?

They work good for coho... And pinks

I have been using a Jughead (both green and clear UV) on the starboard side and a teaser (both light green and coho) on the port side for the last few months (the Hump, Porlier, Thrasher and UBC) both with brined and non-brined anchovies. I note that the brined anchovies always out fish the non-brined ones and that the Jughead out fishes the teaser heads about 3/2. Both work well. I also find that the Jugheads work well with the Delta-Gibbs inline flashers(using long 7' leaders) (actually may work better than a normal flasher). the in-line flashers work well with stacking - less tangles.

I also find that I can use herring in the Jughead's - the herring heads are stronger than anchovies and they do not fall out!

you don't NEED brined anchovy for either, but your bait is going to look better longer if it's brined.

I've brought the jug head to a couple of lodges that I bring my customers too! Where you complain about the coho being in the way of getting the ball down to the springs. We fished both teaser heads and jug heads on opposite sides. Jug head was first to get a fish and biggest coho for the day,but teaser heads out fished jug heads like 20 to 1. Brined bait all day everyday and add a creamer from Timmys to the bait to make it shine!! Little secret I was taught a while back

jughead on a 5" white turd was my go to for tuna last year..

Never caught I thing on them down in south island.

Probably going too slow.

Good comment - if you go too slow the hook and beads will just hang down. I notice that when using a herring at ~3.0 km/h the action is one of the best I've scene.

I know a lot of guys tried these. I trolled quite quickly with these... I am well aware you need to troll faster with gear. But in the end it just didn't outperform a slow roll with bait most of us use down here. It just didn't work for me thats all.. Maybe it works better in other areas, but is not used widely down here that is all I am saying.

Both will work better at different times... Wounded fish tend to flop, very much like a teaser head will produce, if the fish are lazy then these will likely perform better. Actively moving fish will act more like a jughead, if the salmon are more active like they tend to be on the banks, then the Juggie will likely outperform...

So the question i have is how do the people who are running Jughead on one side and teaser head on the other have a fair comparison? Its been stated that Jugheads like ~3km a hour while a good slow roll is ~2.5km or even slower. So depending on speed you are giving a "possible" advantage to either side.

I have caught fish with both but was more successful with a teaser head but i also was running slower than i guess i should have been for jughead success.

Those of you running Jugheads what other gear do you put out that runs at the same speed? My thoughts if im running ~3km or over i would toss out a sandlance or iron noggin needle fish .... any thoughts?

 

[Dogbreath]

Good point about the apparent speed discrepancy-as to matching something to Jughead speed as you say the Needlefish imitations, a thin bladed spoon or even a plug.

Like SpringVelocity I have yet to catch one here in Sooke on a Jughead. However, I am still experimenting. The smaller jugheads don't seem to impart much of a wiggle to the anchovy - seems to come though the water pretty straight. Though I was using a brined anchovy. My thoughts are now I should use a larger Jughead to get more wiggle and to use unbrined anchovies as they ought not to be so "stiff". I'll post here if I have any success this summer........
