 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 ¼ 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.
