Tracker Chain™
The Tracker Chain™ (Patent Pending US 17648,605) is the most versatile chain we have ever produced. It can be fished with 2, 4 or 6 birds depending on how far out you want it to track. Each bird has excellent buoyancy, with a 4 bird chain being able to hold up a 3oz Joe Shute Lure while at a dead stop.
The Tracker Chain allows you to strategically place your chains anywhere in the spread, depending on how many tracker birds are used on the chain. Two birds tracks out 5-10', four birds 10-20', six birds 20'+. If you typically pull chains on your flat lines, you will now be able to move them out 5-10’ to run just outside the prop wash in cleaner water. Or, with the tracker chain, instead of one, you can now run two way, way back chains long down the middle pulled from your overhead rocket launchers.
Crazy 8® Chain
This chain has 8 successive 5" splashing rattle birds with a snap swivel under the last teaser for easy change of machine stinger. These 8 birds tear up a long line of splash on the surface followed by a machine stinger just below the surface. These birds have rattles in their wings to generate even more noise and vibration. You can buy this chain without a stinger if you would like to try out your own stinger. We recommend using a 9" Machine. You can select your stinger on the product page.
Suggested Spread Location: Long Rigger or Down the Middle just behind Long Rigger, but really works well anywhere in the spread!
Magnum Crazy 8 Chain
The Big Brother to the Crazy 8, the Magnum Crazy 8 has 8 successive 7" skirted birds. These larger birds have bigger wings to generate even more splash. These birds have rattles in their wings to generate even more noise and vibration. There is a snap swivel under the last teaser for easy change of machine stinger.
