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!!

Are you doing mono to flouro in this example? If so, are you doing braid to mono to flouro?

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.

Sav on tackle is one of my favorite shops ,great info seems like this technique can be used for other types of fish 🐟

Agreed re Sav On and this is certainly a technique that ought to be a part of one's arsenal when offshore!

@SDkd619 6 ай бұрын

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

I chartered the Vendetta 2 out of H&M for both this Sunday and September, both full days. Crossing my fingers for good conditions!

@victor_clark 2 жыл бұрын

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?

@BenjieKimFishing 2 жыл бұрын

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.

Definitely need fluoro top shot just because tuna have really good eyes 👀👀

Why not use rubber core sinkers? Is it that they don't come in large enough sizes?

@BenjieKimFishing 2 жыл бұрын

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!

What reel would you suggest for flyline fishing.

@rubidouxian_fisherman 2 ай бұрын

You could do a Shimano torium 16hg or a Okuma Tesoro 15 and for spinning you could do a Shimano Saragosa 14k or an Okuma cedros 8k

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!
