KDT88 - Please look at this link from MD DNR regarding the legality of your setup, thanks.

Yah, only 2 can have hooks. Just put teasers as the others. The trailer always gets hit anyway so fold the wire arms such that they are straight out to the sides, perpendicular to the trailer. That setup will catch a lot of fish.

Hey yak fish, I got a small umbrella with plastics on it that bluefish are destroying. I put a spoon as the trailing lure, but the schooled plastics still get mangled. What would you put in place of the plastics? I hesitate to use hook-less spoons because of the weight.

KDT88,
This was my GoTo lure for the M&G on the St Mary's River.

Alabama rig with 4, 3" white worm teasers, followed by a 5.25" original floating Rapala in silver. The bluefish wouldn't leave it alone. Guess I was lucky because none of my teasers got touched.

They're not exactly hookless spoons. More like spinner blades. I was trailing a 3" spoon off of this, but after getting hits using a Rapala on the other rig I put another silver Rap on this one too, but no hits. All my fish were caught on the one with the worm teasers.2018 Hobie Outback (seagrass)

Not a bad idea using the rapala buzz. I love that lure elsewhere, didn't think to mix the two. Gonna try that next! I have a lot of cheap worm plastics that might fit that bill too. YakFish, I thumbed through the book and found the pic you mentioned.

I found another great shop today that was willing to carry the book. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle in Rehoboth now has signed copies. They've got all the lures there too. They also have the former state record striper mounted just above their door. That thing was a hog! It's worth a stop in just to see if if you're on your way to fish the inlet.Attached Files

Much to the dismay of my wife, she's now seen the inside of more tackle shops than she's ever cared to visit.
