Have you ever used 'action disks' in front of a fly? I've used them trolling leech imitations with some success, but have generally been unimpressed with them. I thought that their extra 'shiver' on a marabou/rabbit strip fly would get a lot more interest than they seem to trigger. It would be an interesting comparison with/without a wiggle disc - for your video!

Good idea, I might have to try that sometime. Yeah I haven't had much success with those wiggle discs on hootchies for salmon so I don't use them. I seem to do better with the lure straight to line no extra wiggle. Sometime trout are lazy they like less action. They're strange that way. and sometimes they chase with crazy action.
