The new Frenzy bite size flyer only weighs about 1 1/2 oz. It really looks like a killer bait, sizewise etc. To aid casting how about fishing it behind a rattle float? Lots of splash and noise, what does everyone think?
I've always wanted to cast 2 at a time. I may try it later this month. I just ordered some. I am considering rigging the bitesize with about 8 inches of leader. Attach to main line with a swivel. Then crimp a 3 foot leader to the same leader, rubberband the leader to the head adn tail of the small freazy, and attach to a large flier. Have trailer hooks on both. Then fricking hold on. On a wide open bite, I bet both get hit. Maybe put a bottle cap in front of the lead frenzy.
The flying fish just float around stunned after getting smashed by a tuna. I would think that just floating the Frenzy would be better....if you need weight, it might be a good idea to put on the line in the lure itself somehow.
Two at a time....sounds like one hell of a fight! I would like to see the deckhands gaff both tuna at the same time....could be interesting.
Richard, just modify my lazy technique of casting and doing nothing. Just add a few in series. I have drifted them behind the boat on the big E without a hit. However, drifting may work a lot better with a smaller boat. We should drift a daisy chain with a hook in each on our trip at the end of the month.
Put one on a leader behind a Komodo OTI Popper... best of both worlds When I was getting bit on the large sized Frenzy Flyer.. I was doing 3 hard Jerks and trying to pause it on top a wave. I noticed the larger YFT cruise up and down the peaks of the waves length wise looking for flyers. I presume the Flyers rest on the wave peakes so they can more easily fly to safety. The tilted back wings on the Frenzy Ballistic Flyers make a heck of a splash when you give it a sharp pull, because they are desighed to ride Up Top when trolled. When a YFT over 100 Lbs hits the Fake Flyers it's like a train wreck.. all you can do it hang on and follow them until they slow down start to sound. I had a larger YFT take 450 yds of line straight down and the hooks pulled. Have Fun with them Mini Flyers Yall. Bazz

The fight is much better on the flying fish than a popper since the FF does not use the treble hook.
I just received a bunch of new Frenzy Flyers in the mail today. Man, they look great! The new rigging looks to kill as the leader is threade through the tail with a treble hook near the tail. There is a potential problem of the tail wearing quickly, do I may rerig one and compare. I also prefer the single hook because the fish fight a lot better, so I may stick to the stinger. I will let everyone know as I am off to Venice in 2 and a hallf weeks, so I will fill everyone in on how they do.
Hey Scott, I picked up three of the Frenzy Angry poppers....if there are dorado in the neighborhood....I'm gonna hook up! (At least I hope...) I may even try those poppers at the floaters....

I used FF new baby flier back in May and LOVED it. It was a fairly early trip for the season, and most of the fliers we saw at Redhawk were juvinile fliers, so it matched the hatch perfect. I had no problems throwing them on either a spinner or baitcaster.
Hey Scott! I've got two new ones left over from the last, shortened GEM trip. PM me your address and I'll send them to you.
