The author’s preferred set-up when going big on the jig is a Centaur Chiron 5-foot SH rated for 300-500 grams paired with a Daiwa Saltiga 20,000-H filled with 80-pound metered braid and a 100-pound wind on leader.Jun 9, 2019 · 11920 posts · Joined 2006. #1 · Jun 9, 2019. It's been very busy fishing around and I finally can post report of tuna popping trip in Panama in May. I fished on 110' luxurious mothership of Panama Sport Fishing Lodge. I've been fishing Panama about 10 times and I think this trip is the best as far as tuna popping is concerned. There are a few criteria for tuna jigging reels. 1. line capacity. You need at least 300 yards of 80 lbs. In fact, 100 lbs tuna can take about 100 - 150 yards on 22 - 24 lbs tuna, but you need some extra line just in case you hook up a bigger tuna or line get cut while fishing for some reasons. 2. max drag.For the Halcos and stick baits you want to cast close to the rig and run the cuda gauntlet or try to cast outside the light line and reel into the light when away from the rig. Again key into what is catching, what color and size lure and technique (e.g. reel as soon as hits the water, 5 second soak then reel, poppers etc).I have narrowed my search down to either a Ripple Fisher Ultimo 83M Nano, or a Zenaq Tobizo 83/150. I am going to be fishing PE6-7 and was hoping to be able to use a wide range of lures from 80-120g+. I understsand that the Tobizo is quite a stiff and fast rod allowing for the use of bigger sticks and poppers, whereas the Ultimo is much more ...Nov 11, 2022 · 31 posts · Joined 2020. #4 · Nov 12, 2022. My advice is to take a small step forward from your 12 hr experiences. Do a 24 hr overnight trip tuna trip out of Port A next fall. The boat runs are much shorter than the 36-60 hr trips. Granted you'll probably only catch blackfin tuna vs the bigger yellowfin but its a good way to learn. M. moonsoft Discussion starter. 68 posts · Joined 2009. #1 · Jan 10, 2009. I need some help with this, I have seen tons of knots but nothing that shows me how to join 80lb braid to 80lb mono (top shoot 100-150 yds) I also need to know how to tie the jigs onto the line. I will be using Knife, diamond, and butteryfly jigs.Timmy and crew docked Tuesday with another great 56 hr trip on the Dolphin Express. There was a pic of the drill ship Globe Trotter on one report so I'm guessing that's where they caught these. It appears to be a YFT limit for fishermen and crew. My somewhat okay eye for YFT weights tells me there are multiple 100#+. And a sword to boot!Aloha, I’m trying to pop for a 100+ YFT here in Hawaii. I’m looking at the 7500 and 9500 size torques II’s. I prefer the 7500’s gear ratio but i think I need more line capacity like the 9500. The 7500 can hold 340yd/80lb braid. Do you guys believe the 7500 is up for the job or is the 9500 the safe bet. Gonefishings.conventional tuna jigging reel recommendations. my budget is 500 dollars I plan to spool the reel with 80 lb braid. And will be fishing mostly in the north east for bluefin and yellowfin. thinking Shimano talica 12 or 16 single speed, accurate boss extreme 600n, maxel ocean max 10 looking for any info on these reels or others that would work.Jun 9, 2019 · 11920 posts · Joined 2006. #1 · Jun 9, 2019.

For myself, I enjoy using the 14000 for plugging whereas I used to use the 18000. It has just a tad bit more capacity than the 10000 spool and is a lot lighter than the 18000. So far I am using the 14000 and 4000 SWB. I still have the SW 18000, 8000, and 4000XG..
