Epic Fishing Co. Squid Daisy Chain Teaser

A squid daisy chain is the simplest way to add fish-attracting volume to your trolling spread. This one from Epic Fishing Co. runs 5 UV-enhanced 9-inch squid on 400lb clear monofilament leader with a total length of 7 feet. The last squid has a coast lock snap so you can trail a hooked bait or lure behind the chain. Deploy it from a flat line, outrigger, or dredge line to bring billfish, tuna, mahi, and wahoo into striking range. Four colors let you match conditions: pink and blue for clear water, red and green for dirty water or overcast days. Comes rigged and ready with a mesh storage bag.

  • 7 foot overall length

Add Volume to Your Spread for $40

Big fish eat where the food is. A single bait or lure looks like a snack. A daisy chain behind that bait looks like a school, and schools trigger feeding responses that lone presentations do not. The Epic squid daisy chain gives you that volume in a single rigged package.

Clip it to a flat line or outrigger and trail a hooked ballyhoo or lure off the last snap. Billfish follow the chain, lock on, and eat the trailing bait. Mahi swarm the squid pattern and compete for the offering behind it. Tuna and wahoo react to the commotion and commit harder than they would on a bare line.

At $39.99, a daisy chain pays for itself the first time it pulls a fish into your spread that would have swum past a single offering.

UV-Enhanced Squid for Extra Visibility

These squid are treated with UV additive that makes them pop underwater, especially in the blue-water column where UV light penetrates deepest. Fish that feed by sight in clear offshore water key on UV signatures. The enhanced squid look more alive and attract more attention than standard dyed offerings.

Coast Lock Snap for Trailing Baits

The coast lock snap built into the last squid lets you clip on a hooked bait, trolling lure, or naked hook behind the chain. This converts the daisy chain from a pure teaser into a productive strike position. Run a rigged ballyhoo or small lure off the snap and fish feed right through the chain into your bait.

400lb Mono Leader Handles the Abuse

Daisy chains take constant trolling stress, strikes from toothy fish, and tangles during deployment. The 400lb clear monofilament leader on this chain handles all of it without breaking down. The clear mono stays invisible underwater so the squid pattern looks natural. Most chains last a full season of regular use before needing replacement.

How to Fish a Squid Daisy Chain

1. Choose your color based on water conditions: pink or blue for clear water, red or green for dirty or overcast

2. Attach the lead end of the daisy chain to your flat line, outrigger halyard clip, or dredge line using a snap swivel

3. Optionally clip a hooked bait or lure to the coast lock snap on the trailing squid

4. Deploy the chain at your normal trolling speed (5-9 knots for most offshore species)

5. Position the chain so the squid pattern rides just below or at the surface, creating a visible wake

6. When a fish strikes the trailing bait, clear the daisy chain or let it hang while you fight the fish

7. After fishing, rinse with fresh water and store in the mesh bag to prevent tangling

What species does the squid daisy chain attract? +
Billfish (sailfish, white marlin, blue marlin), mahi mahi, yellowfin tuna, blackfin tuna, and wahoo all respond to daisy chain patterns. The chain works as a teaser to draw fish into your spread. Read our trolling spread guide for positioning tips.
What color daisy chain should I use? +
Pink and blue work best in clear offshore water on bright days. Red and green produce better in dirty water, overcast conditions, or deeper positions. When in doubt, pink is the most versatile color. Our trolling lure guide covers color selection in detail.
Can I put a hook in the daisy chain? +
The last squid has a coast lock snap designed for trailing a hooked bait or lure. Clip on a rigged ballyhoo, small trolling lure, or naked hook. Fish follow the chain and eat the trailing offering. See our ballyhoo rigging guide for bait options.
Where should I position the daisy chain in my spread? +
Most anglers run daisy chains on flat lines or short outrigger positions where they are visible from the surface. You can also run one on a dredge line for a deeper presentation. Our trolling spread guide covers ideal positioning for every spread slot.
What trolling speed works for daisy chains? +
Standard trolling speed of 5-9 knots works well. The squid pattern should ride just below the surface or porpoising slightly. Too fast and they wash out; too slow and they sink too deep. Check our trolling speed chart for species-specific speeds.
How does this compare to a dredge? +
A daisy chain is simpler and lighter than a full dredge. Dredges run multiple chains on a spreader bar with weights. A single daisy chain is easier to deploy, retrieve, and store. Start with a daisy chain and add a Fish Razr strip dredge when you want more volume.
How long does a daisy chain last? +
With basic care (freshwater rinse, mesh bag storage), a daisy chain lasts a full offshore season. The 400lb mono leader handles repeated trolling stress. Replace the chain when squid start tearing or the leader shows wear. We carry schoolie dolphin daisy chains too if you want a different profile.
Do I need a separate teaser rod for this? +
No. You can run the daisy chain directly off a flat line clip or outrigger halyard. Dedicated teaser reels are nice for big dredge setups, but a single daisy chain clips right into your existing spread with no extra gear. See our dredge rigging guide for dedicated teaser setups.
