What size leader does everyone use for tuna fishing (chunking night or daytime)?
80 or 100# flouro(Seagaur ofcourse) for chunking purposes
Downsize to 60 if bite is slow!
Have you ever tried bigger like 300#?Originally Posted by sushi42
60 lb flouro
Are you bustin my nuggets here or are you serious.
No i'm being dead serious! i did a little experiment yest with different size leader at depths while freediving and i noticed very little diffrence after getting past a certain depth between a bunch of different mono's.We use alot of 400# and don't have any problem! not to mention i have used 300 in other parts of the world with very little problem of fish being leader shy!Are you bustin my nuggets here or are you serious.
It just doesn't make sense to me that you would use 300-400# leader for tuna that are going to on average weigh what, fifty lbs., seventy five lbs., or down Panama they average 150lbs. I mean even the guys chasing giants are only using 150-200lb. flouro right. If 300lb. works for ya then don't change a thing but giving the amount of fishing pressure these tuna see here in the northeast once they arrive I can't imagine you catching as well as a boat a few hundred yards off using 60 lb. If you're looking for swords then thats a whole different game. Just my .02
Just curious waterman, how deep were you when the different sizes of mono appeared similar? Did you have any floro in the water?
also, #60 or #80 Moimoi
not to highjack the thread but out of curiousity whats everyone use for sword rigs? I was moderately successful with 200lb but had one memorable breakoff that has me thinking about up'ing it.
