Re: Best terminal tackle for tuna jigging
If ur Tuna jigging the best is use H C & core splice leader , the HC lays flat on reel & will allow for slightly more capacity. It's makeup also allows for more breaking strength per rating .
If u go the solid braid route , then I've found the reverse Albright an excellent knot that if tied properly will serve u well on all inshore & PB tuna uses.
I've used the reverse Albright for over 20 seasons without issue when tied properly . This was our go to knot after much testing for PP which I developed for them when braid was just starting to get popular.
I chose this not claiming to be the best but far more practical then some others.
I've seldom noticed this knot to fail even yesterday wreck fishing off Montauk when I got hook stuck & had to break off the braid broke well above knot !
The key to this knot is simply doubling ur braid into a loop via Bimini twist or spider loop, THEN completing the reverse Albright ! Also minimum 10 wraps starting thru ur loop eye of then thru same eye again with ur leader
Now the tighten slightly the bitter end of ur mono should now be laying flat on ur braid ! Tighten but dampen slightly prior , now use gloves to tighten once in motion do not stop until it can go no further !
Finish off with rolling uni so all wraps R under over loops ! Hit with glue gap filling type & ur done ! Note the uni tightens toward the finished knot !
