This “Sputterbird Daisy Chain” has multiple “Sputterbirds” in line, each one revolving in opposite directions to minimize line twist and create tremendous water commotion. You can add a trolling lure or bait to the hidden snap swivel in the last squid to make it a “bird” attractor or use a hookless lure or bulb squid solely as an attractor. Stingers sold separately. Either way, it will bring fish to your boat by the combination of internal rattle vibration and surface splash.
