Three Squid Daisy Chain Teaser Configurations Below, these 11 teaser configurations excel at raising more sailfish, white, blue and striped marlin, tuna and dolphin. The water behind the boat is your canvas, and teasers are your paint and brushes. The rule-of-thumb starting point for teasers and daisy chains is to place them in clean water just outside the prop wash, about 25 feet back, pulled off the teaser lines on the outriggers, and tweak from there as the situation demands. Fish holding deep or hunting in the upper part of the water column sense the boat and lock in on the prop wash and your strategically placed teasers. Teasers create the illusion of action behind the boat in the prop wash, such as a feeding frenzy. If the fish fades back, there’s a chance of it striking one of the baits staggered farther back, but that’s just one reason for setting up teasers to bring the show up close.
