Re: Going on a Tuna PB this fall, this is my equipment..opinions?
Use BB barrel swivels , from Quik Rig or Spro ! 250# test
Palomar knot to both swivel ends
Leader 6-10’ of 70-90 nite 40-60 in daylight if bites are tough
Fluoro leaders are superior in the slick , they sink and present bait better straightened no memory !
Hook Quik Rig Charlie Brown circles 5-7/0
Palomar knot to hook or double nail
I like spin rods in the slick but on PB it’s tougher due to crowd
On occasion the spin set allows you to present bait further out into slick however u. Can handline with rail rod holder achieving same results
Your basic tackle has taken 1000’s of tuna , you can always Up grade if u feel the need on later trips .
Jigging set ups , are more state of the art but u.can jig with your lighter outfit
I would use braid on that outfit if allowed or long top shot over braid
Invest in fresh line , I prefer Sunline or Momoi mono & fluoro
If you can visit a sponsor shop and they can assist in getting u rigged correctly
Or attend a seminar @ Saltwater show if they offer one !
