Abstract: An inline deep sea fishing teaser apparatus, having a winch assembly with at least one handle assembly and teaser line. Also having a holder assembly, a teaser assembly, and a rod holder assembly. The winch assembly has a gear assembly allowing for a free spool mode for ease in deploying a teaser secured to the teaser line, and a return mode for retrieving the teaser. The teaser assembly has a depth gauge with an indicator and at least one depth guide to approximate a depth the teaser secured to the teaser line is deployed to by measuring an angle of the teaser line. The holder assembly is inserted into a fishing rod holder positioned on a stern or gunwales of a vessel. The fishing line is approximately inline with the teaser line when both the fishing line and the teaser line are deployed while trolling the vessel.
