Thank you all for checking out this 4 part Bluefin Tuna series (part 4 will be released soon). You can check out the entire series here - ru-vid.com/group/PLsz2XMNXn3k-JN6wAmqJZ9VbzFvvT4MsJ
I just wanted to say this series of videos for Bluefin are among the best on line. Anthony does a great job at covering the bases not only covering the How but the Why's. I will suggest using the San Diego knot, I have been using it for over 30+ years and has never failed me. Those of you who have never been to Save On Tackle, well your missing out! Again great job young man!
Thank for such a kind and thoughtful comment and thank you for sharing your experience with the SD knot. I'm finally gaining confidence to tie it better and faster...fantastic knot for sure. And agreed, Sav On is terrific!!
i plan on coming down to san diego eaither this season or nexr for tuna and this was my very first queastion was hoiw to set up a rubberband sinker live bait is the truth! thanks benjie and save on tackle!
Oh man I hope you get down here and get into a bite. Lots of grinding but once the boat finds em it is so much fun. I recommend getting on a 1.5 day if possible.
been really waiting for this one! I saw that lately, people were using 100lb sinker rigs, at that point, would you even need flourocarbon since the line is so big?
What's up Victor! You're right, no practical need for fluoro when you're dropping down that deep and targeting big ones. At that point, the only reason to have it on there is for the abrasion resistance and to utilize the connection for stopping your sinker.
Benji i noticed your boy alex mention that once the sinker is inline it wont helicopter….. in my experience thats what makes the bait and hook helicopter “unless” you let the bait out very slowly. Thats the MOST important part. Also using more than one sinker is not a good idea !! Ive seen people do two 6 oz weights and it just doesnt work as well. Good luck everyone
That's a good question and I'm honestly not sure, might be the size issue like you mention, or I wonder if there's any abrasion when attaching a rubber core. I'll ask Anthony next time I get the chance!
Not that I'm aware of. However, if you go into the shop and tell Anthony you're there cuz of this video, he might help you out a bit. No promises and nothing formal though!
