Bluefin Tuna fishing requires specialized gear, especially when targeting giants. Unless standup fishing, Reels should be 130 lb class with unlimited class rods. The reels should be backed with 200lb dacron. Most crews prefer black dacron if they are going to be chunking more than trolling. Many trolling crews prefer High Vis so that they can see their line better on the troll. A top shot of 200 lb MoMoi Diamond Line is recommended. This should be spliced to the dacron using the chinese finger method. Our top shot rigging needles make splicing the mono into the dacron easy. The rigging floss is halfhitched around the connection points to keep the mono from pulling out under great strain. Our harpoon are great for when you are ready to take a giant. Once Harpponed our tail rope can be put on the fish to cool it down, after which time it is hauled aboard, dressed, and packed on ice.
