Best lure to trawl

(1/1)

mitchell huner:
Was just wondering what was everyones thoughts on what is the best lure to trawl for tuna.

John Sykes:
Pakula Mini Sprocket in "Illusion"  works very well for Blues.  Local "Hot" colours differ for species and from place to place though.

John Sykes:
Sorry, forgot to mention you could use a stick bait a fair way back in the "shotgun" position.  This is deadly on blacks too. ;)

Kyle Stacey:
It depends on where you are fishing and what tuna you are targeting, as mentioned pakula make cracker lures that have caught countless tuna, marlin and pretty much anything else that swims. I make a limited range of tuna lures that have great success on the SBT in vic with a number of 100kg fish hooked and lost and a couple 100+ fish landed and heaps of school fish too. Here in vic 6in is the go and east coast NSW probably a little bigger 8in is the go.
