TUNA TROLLING.

[zar2754]

When trolling tuna with natural and artificial baits:

do you have your reels set at strike?
or do you have minimal resistance on your reel?

I know people who prefer one over the other, curious as to what you like and why.

[John Rogers]

Strike witch mine is about 15#s Let that hook drive home. Remember to sharping them hooks

[tunatamer4]

Just below strike. No "mouthing" with the tuners, sink the steel. Then you can add a little heat after the hook is set.

always run at strike.. want that tuna to put that hook so deep into his arse i taste steel when i eat him.

tuna do not feed like marlin.. so you can really have it tight..

Marlin: very light drag


Tuna: put in just below the strike.

[Big Jay]

Strike. Not rocket science.

according to the polls 51% of people prefer just of strike, with minimal resistance and strike very close to eachother.

i always thought that fishing in strike gives the best hook set.

your correct... it all allows not only a good hook set on the fish but holds the fish from spooling the line..

especially when mr eyeball comes running thru the spread.. imagine a 200lb eyeball taking off with 5 lbs of drag!?!?

he would take a ton of line!! lol
