Interesting idea. Might try it, but would hate to have my line bust with 6 lures on it!  :o

I used some chubby darters and Lindy darters this past winter for walleye and you can bet your bottom I will be using them again this season. I was catching fish while my friend watched in amazement while staring at his tip ups flags all down.

Past couple years I have had so much luck with the Chubby Darters, I have a order in for one of the Jumbos! I can't wait to see that I can hook with one! I am going to have to hunt down this article so I can see what they are talking about daisy chaining chubby darters...

you take 5 chubby darters and tie them together. removing the hooks from the top 4. about 7-10 inches apart from each other. with some long slow jigging mimicking a small school of bait fish.  evidently the bottom one is the one that usually gets hit

Sounds like it could work. What a great marketing tool for Salmo. Can you imagine all the guys that will be in line buying six of the same darters at one time. Just think of the guys that are obsessed with tackle and new gear they will have to buy about 300 darters: 6 in every color and size.LOL

reading this i am making plan for a live bait imitation school.. Much cheaper as long as there is no more then three real hooks it would be legal.. thinking 4 dead minnows and one big live one makeing all the moves

Sounds like it would work, but man that is an expensive setup to have a big Pike come and pee on your parade. I might play around with some cheap plastics as the school of bait fish above the Darter.

In Ontario up to 4 hooks are allowed on a line.
