When it comes to choosing the best reel for tuna fishing, there are a few things to consider: Line capacity: Tuna are big and strong, so you'll need a reel with a large line capacity to handle their fighting power. Look for a reel that can hold at least 300 yards of line. Drag system: Tuna is also fast and can put up a lot of resistance, so you'll need a reel with a smooth and strong drag system to tire them out. Look for a reel with a maximum drag of at least 25 pounds. Gear ratio: A high gear ratio is important for tuna fishing because it allows you to quickly retrieve the line and keep up with the fish. Look for a reel with a gear ratio of at least 5:1. Based on these factors, some of the best reels for tuna fishing include: Saltwater Trolling Reel RA600D: This reel has a large line capacity, strong drag system, and high gear ratio, making it a top choice for tuna fishing. Penn Slammer III: With its durable construction, powerful drag system, and fast gear ratio, the Slammer III is another great option for targeting big tuna. Daiwa Saltiga: Known for its smooth drag and high-quality construction, the Saltiga is a reliable and effective reel for tuna fishing.

Wire-thru Stickbait project for Tuna, GTs, Dogtooth etc.
CaptainSeabass posted a topic in Hard Baits
Hi Guys, I recently finished of my first stickbait project. It was aimed at making a wire-through stickbait for GT, Tuna etc. It turned out well and I did make a video, but I am looking for some information about creating a mold for this particular lure so that I can replicate it with with some two component plastic mix or something along those lines. Please let me know your thoughts. Any information about mold making is welcome since I have ZERO experience with it. I'm also looking for an affordable two component plastic mix that floats when dry. Here's a video of the Stickbait so you can get an idea of the size in case that is a determining factor. Thanks! -
Insert hand cut from copper bar on a band saw, .09" diameter hole machined with drill press, prismatic tape applied, skull eyeball design made with SketchBook Pro and printed on vinyl before being installed. Master lure hand is hand lathed, silicon rubber mold made, insert placed into mold, and polyurethane resin is poured into the mold and cured under pressure. Vinyl skirts attached. Wahoos, Marlin, and Tunas beware.
