All About Bait Ball Daisy Chains?
by Captain Mike Fisher

FISH MAGICIAN TACKLE?S BAIT BALL DAISY CHAINS? were designed for the private boater and those making trips off shore with the sport fishing fleet and kayak fisherman. The 3 and 4 squid Bait Ball Daisy Chains? maintain the image of a fleeing group of baitfish separated from one of the Bait Ball Spreader Bars?. They are constructed with the high quality material; stainless steel chaffing gear at the top loop and around the 150 Sampo ball bearing swivel, high quality Yamishita squid (tako) skirts. On the 4 squid model each skirt has a ? ounce weight under it. The tuna will not take a lure of any kind unless it?s in the water. Some daisy chains on the market are not weighted, not even the stinger/chase-bait, how are they going to stay in the water?

The three squid Bait Ball Daisy Chains? were designed for the kayak fisherman. It?s shorter because the kayak and board angler is closer to the water and needs to be able bring his or her catch along side without having to extend their reach out or down, which could be dangerous. They are made of the same high quality materials as the 4 squid model, but with slightly less weight, because they aren?t pulled as fast.

A designed safety factor, they?re shorter than most daisy chains. Bait Ball Daisy Chains? will allow the angler on a private or sport boat to bring the fish into safe gaffing range without requiring the angler or the deck hand to leader the fish. Their length allows for quick storage for the run off shore, home or the next hot spot. Just reel your Bait Ball Daisy Chain to the stainless steel chaff gear to the top rod tip, and then pull the stinger/chase-bait?s line down and under your reel or reel handle and pull the stinger/chase-bait back up connecting the hook to one of the guides in the middle of the road. The key to maintaining the safety factor is to keep the stinger/chase-bait on a short leader, 18 ? 24 inches.

I suggest pulling the daisy chains inside and just ahead or below the 10, 20, or 30 Bait Ball Spreader Bars?. To pull them below the bars, put them on a downrigger or a high-speed planer. Now, you?re fishing the water column and making some of the chase bait appear a little more tempting.

I wanted to point out that daisy chains can take on different configurations. My article decpicts an inline daisy chain, that is, all the smaller baits run in line, on the same main line with chase/hook carrying bait. The other option, that is also effective is making them in what we call skippers. the small baits, or those ahead of the chase/hook carrying baits all are suspened from the main line on short mono leaders of 12 inches or so. You can rig squid baits, and cedar plugs the same way. Try 'em they're very effective.

get those daisy chains ready as lampuki have moved in

[Fishmagician]

With the Dorado, Dolphin fish, moving to your waters the waters have warmed and they're a voracious eater. We pull daisy chains of various colors in our trolling spread, most of mine will be armed with at least 6" jet heads. OH, by the way they aren't big lure shy, our last 20 pounder jumped on a marlin jig at 7.5 knots.....he went well with my grill, and my seasoning.

Hi Mike,

The Lampuki (Dorado) are still only in the 2.5lbs range, the big ones 20lbs tend to be much further out and we don't expect to find those until Oct/Nov. So for now we use tiny white and white red squids with double hooks.
