Re: Tuna Fishing On a Budget
Don't know your location but it's always safe to go to one of your Shore Tackle stores--Sponsor especially. I would suggest braid backing with 150-200 yds mono top shot(60-80#)--depending on reel capacity... Squall 40 probably OK for jigging--don't really need that much top shot as deepest jigging would be around 100-150'. I'd go with a Senator 115 for the chunk-you'll feed a lot more line out & then get a run-off. I was almost spooled twice with a 115w & 18-20# drag...just sayin.....get advise on the rod and please don't chintz on the line-it's the only thing between you and the tuna!!!!!
Have fun out there and we'll be waiting for your report--Tight lines...
