Dropper Daisy chains

brandon558 · 03-09-2006, 11:56 AM

I made a couple myself but the squids tend to wana all hang on the same side. How do i fix that,when ever i crimp it i cant really tell which side its gona hang off of. i just wana make sure in the water it swims right. Does it just sometimes look like there all on the same side holding it up but in the water its straightens out? Thanks for any help!

Brandon, they will look like that. Once you get them in the water, it should run right. The main point of a dropper chain is to give each squid its own individual action. The best place to run these is from your short riggerr position. You want the amount of time that each squid is in the water to increase sequentially as you progress down the chain. For example, your first squid might only be in the water 25% of the time, your second would be in half the time, your third most of the time, and so on down the line.

Hope this helps
