At all trolling speeds the Witchdoctor stays deep below the prop wash, sending out irresistible vibrations, flashing reflected shafts of fluorescent blue and purple light in all directions, and unlike any other teaser, it never comes to the surface to interfere and tangle with trolling lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: The Real Original 100% made in Australia Pakula Witchdoctor Teaser does not come with bags or tow rope which are optional extras as are flash strips and Brad J Daisy Chains\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aussie made Witchdoctors are wood with two pack paint, perspex mirror which is waterproofed. These should be washed after each use and dried in the shade. Do not put wooden Witchdoctors with Mirrors in bags until they are dry which can take quite a while. Best to wrap them in an old towel or dishcloth that breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fZnTOMsc0yM\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVideo Instructions on Deploying the Witchdoctor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWitchdoctor Action\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Original Witchdoctor was designed to run baits off it's end, much like a down rigger that also imparted action to the bait. As this is very rarely practiced we have redesigned the Witchdoctor so that it resembles the original exciters action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnglers have been more than happy with the success of the original Witchdoctors when they were run without baits off its end, however the direction of most of the light flashes were forward of the teaser towards the boats transom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe action now is tighter with the flashes pointed further back towards the trolled lures or baits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis does mean that the arcing light show you used to see from the back of the boat will be lessened, but the arcing light will be more visible to the fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing The Witchdoctor and surface teasers like the Digger together is a very effective method of raising fish. It is best to run the both off the same side of the boat on the opposite side of the boat to the closest lure (short corner). This will draw fish into the strike zone. It is also easier to clear the teasers when the action starts by pulling both teasers in together by grabbing both cords and pulling them in at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.pakula.com.au\/images\/Extra_Products\/Witchdoctor\/Doc_Diagram_1.jpg\" alt=\"Doc Diagram 1\" width=\"596\" height=\"157\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn areas where there are members of the Razor gang running the Witchdoctor further back than the the surface teaser will help prevent the surface teaser from getting shredded by the toothy critters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.pakula.com.au\/images\/Extra_Products\/Witchdoctor\/Doc_Sketches_10.jpg\" alt=\"Doc Sketches 10\" width=\"650\" height=\"128\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.pakula.com.au\/images\/Extra_Products\/Witchdoctor\/Doc_Sketches_11.jpg\" alt=\"Doc Sketches 11\" width=\"650\" height=\"137\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing the Witchdoctor - Instructions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pakula Witchdoctor is very easy to use, simply position it around 15 feet in front (closer to the transom) of your closest lure or bait, but run it on the other side i.e. if your closest lure is on the starboard side, run the Witchdoctor on the port side, and it will do\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.pakula.com.au\/images\/Extra_Products\/Witchdoctor\/doctoruse.jpg\" alt=\"doctoruse\" width=\"284\" height=\"145\"\u003ethe rest! It is important to remember that this teaser is very effective and will attract fish directly to it. It is therefore critical to ensure that a bait or lure should always be placed in close proximity to this teaser, at least within 4 meters. Because of refraction, i.e. angle of light changes when it hits the water, the Witchdoctor is quite difficult to position. We suggest you measure the distance of your closest lure in arm spans and then measure the Witchdoctor tow line the same way to ensure accurate placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past few years, there have been a few tournament-winning boats that don't troll at least one Pakula Witchdoctor, many use two! The Witchdoctor can be run on any material, but we suggest easy-to-handle material such as 5mil or 1\/4inch nylon or silver rope with a sturdy stainless clip on the end. 60 feet should be ample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaring for Witchdoctors made of wood (prior to October 2010)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe environment that a Witchdoctor is subjected to is extremely harsh. Unfortunately, the materials used are affected greatly by them, especially the mirrors. Do not worry if the mirrors start deteriorating, this is quite normal. You do not have to replace these until there is no reflection material left. To lessen this deterioration, you can run clear silicon along the edges where the mirrors meet the wood. The main function of the Witchdoctor is the vibration it puts out, not the flash. After each use of the Pakula Witchdoctor, it should be washed in fresh water and detergent and then, most importantly, allow it to dry thoroughly in the shade before storing it away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"PAKULA","offers":[{"title":"HOT FRIGATE","offer_id":45301679751270,"sku":"8439060768506","price":274.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/3775\/6518\/files\/PAKULAWITCHDOCTORHOTFRIGATE.jpg?v=1773966746"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/3775\/6518\/collections\/PAKULA_TACKLE.svg?v=1762112002","url":"https:\/\/compleatangler.net.au\/collections\/pakula.oembed","provider":"Compleat Angler Ringwood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
