Gambler tuna

Gfedor...unless you're going for swordies, 60-80# test is what you need at night, during the day lighten up down to 30# but you can do that with leaders. Just remember you gotta have 150-200 yard mono top shot...much shorter TS on your jigging stick...longer rods are better on PB's for keeping line off the chines or out of the running gear if your fish goes under the boat...

200yd mono top shot? Why both with hollowcore braid backing and just use all mono unless you are fishing 130s lol. I am not aware of a NJ party boat (and have been on most of them for tuna) that requires 200 yd mono top shots bc if that was the rule they would just forbid braid. As long as you talk to capt in advance and use a reasonable mono top shot and show you know what you are doing they are ok with it.
