Witchdoctor teaser dimensions

Hi all,

If anyone has a Pakula witchdoctor or any imitation of one (Escapin Tackle, Richter etc), can you please give me the dimensions of your teaser.

 

I'm currently in the process of making one and would like length (bottom length), height and thickness.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

 why not just go and take

Wed, 2012-03-21 21:12

 why not just go and take measurments from one at a store, then you can get all the info you need , like rope placement and so forth. use your own eyes and measurments then if it doesnt work its only you to blame and not someone elses measurments,. sory to be critical but thats the way i see it

Full size

Wed, 2012-03-21 21:46

A full size oe is 510mm long cut at 45deg. It is a standard 2"x4" (50mmx100mm) peice of jarrah. The trick is to set the weight right.

On the bottom front come in 30mm and cut a trench 100mm long with a 25mm spade bit. Then melt some lead and fill the cavity. Add all the mirrors and hardware to finish as you want .

I have plans for this, but you would have to send me a fax No: to send them to . All up it will cost about $70 + time.

I have made a few but to be honest the price has come down them and i would prob just but my next one . Site sponsers have some on sale and would be worth looking at .  Cheers Grant .

Stickface Stalker

Mon, 2015-02-09 17:55

 Escapin Tackle has the witch doctor knockoffs known as the stickface stalker for $95. Good value for sake of all the trouble of getting it balanced right as well as swimming correctly.

Dimensions if interested:

Just incase it gets a bit damaged.
