Sebile

[jamesytuna]

Just picked up a sebile stick bait in menhaden color. Switched out the hooks and split rings and this thing looks like it will do damage on busting bluefin. Specifically those that are around 58"! But not on the ones under 27" or over 59". Of course. But potentially over 73". its fancy.

No one else ever use one or think of using one?

One of my buddies took the sebile guy out to shoot an otw episode. They caught - but take the rear hooks off, and only run the front hook. Those joints aren't strong enough to handle a decent tuna - they broke 1 or 2 that day. Pretty sure that part will get lost in the editing.

Tried the deep diver wouldn't run kept flipping and surfacing. They gave me another one haven't tried it yet

somehow loaded two pictures. The bottom one is obviously the lure im talking about.

I bought two of them to try on the tuna. One is smaller and the other is a lrager version. Only cast the larger one once locally and it doesn't seem to have any action to it at all??? Says it is a floating bait but it sinks??? I think they will produce if you get into a wide open tuna blitz but I am not convinced they will produce just blind casting. They are a real nice looking bait but I am not sure how they expect you to work it???

I caught my tuna last week on what looked like a glow with the split ring to split ring to BIG J hook(not assist) off the nose. I was not super happy with the action at first. It worked slightly sub surface with a decent waggle. I got to see the look on that Tunas face and he sure liked it. Minutes before, one had taken a whack on the one picture above. They were not taking anything on the surface or the Ronz and seemed to be feeding on macks or larger baitfish. I would use it again as a subsurface.

the word is on these Sebile lures.....to rig them like a live/dead bait, set up your 9/0 or whatever tuna hook on its own split ring from the head of the lure, rigged so the Sebile runs free & hookless, this saves you $40 bucks and the heart-ache of losing it........I'll look to see if there's a link with it out there....

see your local tackle dealer- I think it's the dirtributors that are showing off these enhanced rigging ideas.....

especially for the jointed bodies

This is the one. It may have been a prototype.
