Daisy chain

Bait O' Eggs · 12-03-2003, 12:44 PM

When you make a daisy chain, how long of a line do you put on each arm?

I made a couple daisy chains with mini cedar plugs and made each arm 12 inches long, and spaced them about 15 inches apart. Does this seem about right?

I also made a few cedar plugs,

here is about 1/2 of the batch, new version has flared out gills & recessed eyes & new paint combo.

When do the tuna get here?

I am gonna need a bigger boat to just haul the tackle by next summer.

BOE- Those plugs are... ummm... look like.. umm.. well.. let's just say the girl Tuna's should get really hot over em!

Your just gunna HAVE to come up with a new name though! Cedar Plug just doesn't do it! I can give a few suggestions but not on the board.

PS- the commercial rigs usually run the heavy lures straight on the main leader. With a light hoocie. .the reverse "tag" leader gives more aciton. Not sure what's going to happen with a heavy lure. Seems like it wil ljust hang straight back anyway.
Try pulling them around in the bathtub. You probably need a bath anyway (you dirty guy!). :grin:

I was thinking the same thing Mel!

Roy- Go drag them in the river and see what they do. I'm guessing they're going to make some noise.

I am gonna need some field testing, I will get you a plug mel so you can test it out

Of course we dont want to hear any results until the tuna get off our coast.

I hadnt thought about putting them on a main line with a stopper spacing them out, now I am gonna have to make a few of those

Anybody know how wide the passage is at Depot? I gotta figure out how wide to limit my outriggers to. :tongue: Might need a boat with 3 each 300 hp motors just to pull all the handlines at 7mph

Easy there Mel. Don't want to get on the bad side of the mods.

Although I tend to agree with you. A different color paint and ......... :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: A whole different kind of plug for sure. Probably more money to be made too. :blush:

Corrirod- lets see the video of what REALLY happened on that trip!

Hey Bait o Eggs, short is good. :grin:

I go with about 4" or less. The longer lengths don't work and the lures flop around and tangle with the main line.

Rodger.......how nice to hear from you.I've missed you :grin: I wonder if Skien is in bed by now. So far I have a pink "Salty Dog" burgee ( the dog being a miniture Poodle)...A pink shirt to wear when I use my level wind reels..( Keta.....where can I get the matching shorts?) and now....well....we have ummmmmm... some sort of plug....let's just say if they were for Halibutts..they would be...oh never mind

Happy Holidays to all.

Aqua-Holic - Sounds like you need that Flaming Pink Rod Belt I got off e-bay. I was saving it for the virgin crop next year but heck.... Your outfit just wouldn't be complete without it. :grin:

Oh.. .do you know Lucky Lucy by any chance?

Anybody see Skein anywhere? Bait O' Eggs...I ordered some premade chains. When I receive them, I'll post the measurements... although they are coming from the East Coast. By the way....what size batteries do yours take?
Miss B..."Rod belt".......geeesss don't mention that guy......he's nuts! I really think if you could add feathers to match my boa......that would be great. Unfortunately....I haven't met Lucy...but he's alot closer to Rodger.
I can see it's gonna be a long winter.
