    To avoid tangles, the ideal finish is a bit of heat shrink over the Sinker, when you are joining the split rings

    Are you using a single or double barrel crimp? Thanks for all the videos. I really enjoy them here in Wisconsin. Hopefully the fishing will still be good in November.

    Great video. Have you guys actually seen the brass eyes pull out of the lead before? Seems strange that it takes 50 lbs to pull mono through a crimp that’s not crimped. Wonder how many pounds it would take to pull the brass eyes out of the lead that’s completely formed around the brass eyes.

    Personally I have not and I have only ever heard of a couple breaking. But in a long fight against a big Bluefin it could happen and that would be a heartbreaking way to lose a fish!

    Thanks guys, but a bit much. Took a 16 oz torpedo, put a 12/0 hook on it, painted it with glow paint and a few 6 inch feathers and Voila, 2 tuna over 100 pounds on the Old Glory last year.

    @@FishTheLegend For sure. The trick it seems, is being the first one to get the right depth and a 16 oz torpedo will do that. Im guessing at 300 plus feet the tuna dont care too much about hooks, color or much else. They see movement and bite............or not !!!

    12 oz will work! Just depends on the current and conditions if you would need to go heavier.

    easier to use good split ring with 2 assists directly to split ring (at the top), then use whatever heavy torpedo sinker you want. treble is overkill and not necessary

    It all gets bit! These just help you get down to the zone really fast. We don’t think colors matter, it’s really just about being in the right zone & this thing plunges you there.
