The Pakula Witchdoctor Teaser is one of the most iconic and effective fish exciters ever created, trusted by game fishers around the world for over 50 years.
Originally invented by Peter Pakula in 1969, the Witchdoctor was designed to enhance trolling spreads by simulating the presence of a competing predator, triggering aggressive feeding responses from marlin, spearfish, tuna, mahi mahi, and other pelagic species.
Unlike traditional teasers that often need fish to be switched onto a bait or lure, the Witchdoctor works by exciting and stimulating predatory fish to attack nearby lures or baits with greater aggression, often improving hook-up rates. Its deep-running design keeps it below the prop wash at normal trolling speeds, producing powerful vibrations and flashing reflected light while staying clear of trolling lines to reduce tangles.
The Original Wooden Pakula Witchdoctor Teaser is proudly made in Australia using timber construction, durable two-pack paint, and waterproofed perspex mirrors for maximum underwater flash and durability.
Easy to deploy and retrieve, it remains a proven “go-to” teaser system for serious offshore anglers worldwide.
