Default RE: Anyone make their own offshore trolling lures?

Imade a Lure and a Daisy Chain using Golf club replacement grips (black). They have a taper like a fishand the patternon them looks just like scales and they have a hole in the end that is the perfect size to thread the mono through. On the daisy chain,I used 250 lb. mono(7 Grips total about 18-20" apart), Iused 3-1 oz. egg weightsin the nose of each with crimps as stops so the weight wouldstay inthe nose of the grip and at the end of each one("female end"),I used a a King Duster and stopped it with a crimp(about 1/4 of it is tucked up inside). Before I put it together Ipainted themmetallicBlue(on top) and chrome Silver(on Bottom) w/spray paint andadded some Google Eyes(w/ Permabond)and they look just Like Ballyhoo streaming off the corner. The end of the grips are slightly rounded on the edgeand flat in the center(top), so they act like a chugger when they are pulled.on the Lure I used a big Trebel on theback(end)crimped right behindthe dusterand used more weight in the nose.

The Daisy chain is my favorite one, it has been hit several times.I have pulled the Lure a couple times. I haven't given it enough time in the water. I made it a couple of monthsafter I madedaisy chain andtheit pulls great, but I am going to add another hook up towards the front because it is so long. AlsoI am going to redo it w/wire so i can pull it for wahoo.

I think the last Saltwater Sportsman I got had a "How to" on making a daisy chain out of the aluminum Bud Light bottles.
