    Daisy Chain

    Decided on giving making my own daisy chain for YFT a try. Anyone have any good videos that could lend a little insight? Ive never attempted to make one before so I could use all the help i can get.
    A couple question also i would apreciate being answered.
    -What color squid have you guys had success withfor YFT?
    -This would be used to target tuna up to 200 pounds, what size crimps and line would you recomend?
    -What size squid would you recommend?

    Thanks guys

    Try shorter chains before going longer. A 3-squid chain can be very effective.

    I have caught a ton of YFTs with 9" full body squids rigged with 400# leader with double barreled crimps to fit. I rig them with egg weights in the front 2 squids to keep the squids from bouncing out of the water. Install a small stainless washer in front of the egg weight so the weight does not pull through the front of the squid.

    9/0 Mustad 7766D work fine in the last squid.
