Great video fellow San Diegan, love Seeker rods, have a 9' hercules jig stick, 8' super Seeker bait and jig stick and a 8' tactic series light setup with a Daiwa Lexa TW 400 p - p. baitcaster. The Daiwa 28 pound drag beats my 2 Penn fathom 30 pound drags. Love your back ground scenery of the city, great cinematography and cameraman. 🐟🎣 👍

You should use a Tony peña knot or splice for your hollow core setups.

What series rods are the white 7ft seeker rod? I don’t think I have seen those…or is it custom wrap?

Nice video thanks, where do you hook the live bait usually and do you use weight when you send the live bait ?

Thanks! The most common place we will hook a live bait is through the nose right in front of the eyeballs. Depending on conditions and which fish you are targeting a weight may be necessary or not...always ask fellow anglers and your deckhands what they would recommend!
Would a torium 16hg with a phenix axis 909hj be able to handle 80-120 grade foamers in a pinch? The torium would probably be spooked with 400 yards of 83 pound braid and a heavy ass leader.

That's definitely not an ideal setup for that grade of fish but that's not to say that you couldn't land one on that setup.

I'm confused about your spinning setup. Stella 5000 only has a line capacity of 175yd/40lb powerpro. If you throw 65lb braid, isn't the line capacity REALLY limited? Or you have a larger Stella? Thank you!

For the 5000 size, 65lb braid is definitely limiting your line capacity if you're targeting large tuna with it, but perfect for kelp yellows. We'd recommend a larger size reel if you were planning to target big tuna so that you would be able to fit more line onto the reel.

@@BDOutdoorsdotcom Thank you. So general rule of thumb is at least 8000 size for even school size bluefin? I've been trying to see how much I can get away with my existing gear. I have 6000 size spinning reel that can hold ~400 yards of 40lb or 300 yards of 50lb 8 strand braid. Will that be enough for kelp tuna in the sub 30lb class? I have heavier set ups for deep drops and flylines. Needed something to throw surface iron or colt sniper with decent amount of distance. The lever drag reels are hard to throw, except for maybe the Fathom 25NLD or smaller.

@@gutshotaz2805 You can certainly catch school tuna on that size and you don't necessarily need to have 65lb braid backing. You can go with lighter braid to fit more onto the reel. That will work perfectly for kelp fish and tuna on the smaller size.

I like narrow spool than wide spool. ATalica 12ii is best and 8

We'll look into it. Mainly it has to do with breaking strength and diameter of the line!

I took an 8000 with 420 yards of maxquattro 50lbs and got spooled. So now I went and got a 18k. He can probably get away with the smaller size because he has a private boat, he can chase the tuna where as I was on a party boat.

@@tamalpias Ah, makes sense now..
do you go braid to mono to fluoro or braid to fluoro?
@BDOutdoorsdotcom
2 жыл бұрын
It's personal preference. Most anglers now will use a braided backing, either with a topshot of monofilament connected to a short leader of fluoro, or connected straight to a piece of fluoro with no mono topshot. It all comes down to what you're most comfortable with and is also situational i.e. private boat vs sportboat fishing.
What about trolling?!
