they do work, I use them on my sailfish teasers as well, the only problem is the salt water takes the reflective layer of the disk, so you need to replace them every few trips, also reflective tape will work on the disks.

My rigs are on the boat Im afraid but basically its the same as my daisy chains just 5 disks and lure at the back to keep it down, the this must be run from the riggers the CD will send a spray like a bird essentially while adding flash, only really suitable for flat water.

Over December we used those flashy string things you wrap around the Christmas tree! They are about 2m long. I just let them sway in the current. Suppose you could use any tree decorations.

To improve them add holographic stickers.
