Due to the unprecedented big tuna fishing on recent 10-day trips, Tim and I have a few suggestions. First, don't go overboard on buying gear or learning new connections. Second, avoid the short topshots and fluorocarbon as this fish has been biting very well. Third, if you have the following three rigs you will be fine. If you don't, call the office and we will arrange to have them for you. If you have extra gear, double up on rig #2.

#1
Calstar 765H or 760H
Penn or Shimano 2-speed 50
50-200 yard 80lb topshot with 130lb spectra backing

#2
Calstar 760H or XH
Penn or Shimano 2-speed 50W
50-200 yard 100lb topshot with 130lb spectra backing

#3
Calstar 760H or XH
Penn or Shimano 2-speed 50W or 80
25-100 yards 130 or 150lb topshot with 150-200lb spectra backing

These three suggestions are a general guideline, if you don't have the exact rigs try to match them with something comparable.

There's nothing quite like a big slice of humble pie to adjust one's perspective. As much as we disdained the flavor yesterday, apparently it was part of a grander scheme necessary to prepare our appetite for better things to come today. And come they did beginning right at dawn and ending after dusk. With nine over two hundred, six from one ninety five to one ninety nine and another thirty one in the one hundred fifty to one hundred ninety...... Read More
