    best way to make a Daisy chain

    Ok I got a little time on my hands so I brought a truckload of gear back from the beach
    I am going to make some daisy chains and just looking for a little input
    I was thinking instead of running the squids inline
    I would run short 8-10 in tags off the main line useing a crimp on the main line with my tag coming out the top of the crimp and bending over making the whole chain look kind of staggered in the water instead of just a straight line


    I would like to know your thoughts on this
    and will post some pictures as soon as I can




    thanks Capt Dan

    Quick question Squidnation. Why do you make your daisy chains dropper style vs inline. I make my inline, my experience with the dropper style are that they have got tangled up and not swam as well.

    I make them both styles. We get lots of request for the dropper style teasers especially on large boats with longer outriggers. The dropping action seems to be preferred by many. I prefer straight chain when I use a hooked bait or fishing from a small boat with short or no outriggers.

    We have since shortened our droppers a bit from that pink dropper picture.
