Epic Fishing Flying Fish Daisy Chain - A Full School on One Line
This Epic Fishing flying fish daisy chain puts a realistic school of fleeing baitfish behind your boat on a single line. The rig runs 8 feet total with a 4-inch lead fish up front, three 8-inch flyers staggered on 4-inch drops, and a hookless chugger at the tail that throws spray and vibration. Everything rides on 300lb clear mono with chafe gear protecting the main attachment loop. Clip it to a flat line or outrigger and troll at 5-7 knots. Mahi, tuna, sailfish, and white marlin all react to the commotion. At $69.99, it's a fraction of the cost of building one from scratch, and it fishes right out of the bag.
- 8' overall length with 4 flying fish bodies and a tail chugger
- 300lb clear mono leader with chafe-protected main loop
- Hookless - pair with a pitch bait or add a trailing hook rig
Turn One Rod Into a Whole Bait School
Running single baits behind the boat works, but predators offshore key in on schools. A lone flying fish gets looks. A chain of four gets crushed. This Epic Fishing daisy chain solves the numbers game without adding rods or complexity. The hookless chugger at the tail pushes water and sends vibrations down the line that pelagics pick up from 50+ yards. Since it's hookless, you pair it with a pitch rod or a trailing stinger for clean hooksets. Epic Fishing Co. rigs every chain in the USA on 300lb mono with proper crimps and chafe protection, so you're not re-tying leaders after 3 trips.
Realistic Multi-Fish Profile
The staggered 4-inch and 8-inch bodies create a layered silhouette that looks like a panicked school from below. The 4-inch drops between fish add natural spacing that keeps each body swimming independently at trolling speeds of 5-7 knots.
300lb Clear Mono Leader
Heavy mono handles the drag load of 4 bodies plus a chugger without stretching out. The clear material disappears in blue water. Chafe gear on the main loop protects the attachment point where most daisy chains fail first.
Hookless Chugger Tail
The trailing chugger pushes water and throws a bubble trail that draws fish up from depth. Since it's hookless, you avoid gut-hooking fish on the teaser and keep your hookup on the pitch bait or trailing rig where it belongs.

Can I add a hook to this daisy chain? +
You can crimp a trailing hook rig behind the chugger using 300lb leader and a quality stinger hook. But most guys fish it hookless alongside a pitch bait for cleaner hooksets. Our trolling spread guide covers both methods.
What trolling speed works best for this flying fish daisy chain? +
5-7 knots keeps the bodies swimming naturally and the chugger throwing spray. Push past 8 knots and the fish start spinning. Check our trolling speed chart for species-specific recommendations.
What species will this daisy chain attract? +
Mahi, yellowfin tuna, blackfin tuna, sailfish, white marlin, and blue marlin all eat flying fish. This chain mimics a fleeing school. Read our tuna fishing guide for more on targeting pelagics.
How far back should I run this behind the boat? +
30-50 feet off a flat line or outrigger is the sweet spot. Shorter in rough seas, longer in calm conditions. Our trolling spread guide has detailed positioning diagrams.
How long does the 300lb mono leader last? +
With the chafe gear protecting the main loop, expect a full season of weekend use before you need to re-crimp anything. Inspect crimps before each trip. Browse our daisy chains collection for backup rigs.
Is this daisy chain better than individual flying fish teasers? +
Different tools for different jobs. The chain gives you a full school on one line with zero rigging. Individual teasers like the Fish Razr flying fish let you build custom chains or load dredge bars. Most boats run both.
Can I use this for kite fishing? +
It's really built for trolling. The 8-foot length and chugger are overkill on a kite clip. For kite fishing, grab individual Fish Razr flying fish teasers instead. Our kite fishing guide has the full rundown.
What position in the spread should I run this? +
Flat line or short outrigger. You want it close enough to see when fish light up so you can get the pitch bait in fast. Our trolling for beginners guide walks through spread positions step by step.
