The Lead Masters Chain Reaction Daisy Chain is a daisy chain style offshore trolling lure designed by Captain Mark Wisch. The daisy chain configuration strings multiple lures in series to create the visual illusion of a school of baitfish swimming together one of the most effective triggers for large pelagic species like Tuna, Yellowtail, Wahoo, and Mahi-Mahi that are conditioned to attack concentrated schools of bait rather than individual prey. When a large predator sees the Chain Reaction moving through the water, it sees a school of bait in flight and responds with an aggressive, committed strike. Available in 5 colors for different water conditions and target species.
Key Features
- Daisy Chain Configuration Bait School Illusion The daisy chain strings multiple lures in series on a single leader, creating the visual profile of a school of baitfish moving together through the water; large pelagic predators Tuna, Wahoo, Yellowtail, and Mahi-Mahi are conditioned to attack concentrated bait schools because the school represents a high-calorie feeding opportunity; the daisy chain triggers the same aggressive, committed strike response that a real bait school would; the Chain Reaction is most effective when trolled at 58 knots where the lures swim and flutter in a realistic bait school pattern.
- Designed by Captain Mark Wisch The Chain Reaction was designed by Captain Mark Wisch, an experienced offshore captain whose design reflects real-world offshore trolling experience; the lure configuration, color options, and action are the result of on-the-water development targeting the pelagic species that respond to daisy chain presentations.
- 5 Color Options Matched to Water & Light Conditions Purple Black for low-light, overcast, and squid-imitation presentations; Yellow Blue for blue water offshore and mackerel/flying fish imitation; Yellow Orange for high-visibility attractor presentations in choppy or stained water; Blue Silver for blue water baitfish imitation in clear conditions; Green Black for green water and mackerel imitation in mixed water conditions.
- Offshore Trolling Application Deploy the Chain Reaction in a standard offshore trolling spread at 58 knots; most effective when positioned in the prop wash or on the short rigger where the lures are visible to fish tracking the boats wake; the daisy chain can also be used as a teaser without a hook to raise fish to the surface before switching to a rigged bait or single lure.

Best For
- Bluefin & Yellowfin Tuna Daisy chains are one of the most proven tuna trolling presentations; the bait school illusion triggers aggressive strikes from Tuna that are conditioned to attack concentrated bait schools; Blue Silver and Yellow Blue are the most effective colors for Tuna in blue water; troll at 58 knots in a standard spread with the Chain Reaction on the short corner or in the prop wash.
- Yellowtail Effective for Yellowtail on the troll when fish are actively feeding on baitfish schools; the daisy chains bait school illusion is particularly effective when Yellowtail are keying on mackerel and sardine schools; Green Black and Yellow Blue are effective Yellowtail colors.
- Wahoo Wahoo are aggressive predators that respond to the daisy chains bait school presentation at higher trolling speeds; Yellow Blue and Purple Black are effective Wahoo colors in blue water.
- Mahi-Mahi Effective for Mahi-Mahi around weed lines, floating debris, and offshore structure where Mahi congregate to ambush baitfish; Yellow Orange and Green Black are effective Mahi-Mahi colors; troll the Chain Reaction along weed lines at 68 knots.
