I like the bowling pin teaser set-up, but I do it with baseball bats. Send your wife/significant other out on the garage sale circuit in the spring and you can have 10-12 pieces of hickory for about $20. Mitre cut the front and back at 30 deg angles, go to home dept and buy screw eyes and Rustoleum and paint them whatever color you want. I like the red/whaite and Mahi colors. You can put out a 200' chain for $100 that way.
I run a single or short chain right on the first wake and it has been deadly. It will come back with teeth marks in it.

IMy only quibble is as Ahi mentioned the snaps. I'd prefer direct to the pin personally. 'm sure it would look fantastic in the water but my main worry with a chain of pins having seen fish strike the teaser and leave, would be a big fish crashing into the middle of them and getting spooked. If I felt as confident blue marlin fishing w/o teasers then I would, but especially for bigger fish I'm very wary about using daisy chains. I like just one big teaser up short - I think if it's working right you'll raise fish and of course it saves you precious seconds clearing the pit if you do hook a big one. JMO though.
