I'm targeting blue fin tuna of 100kg weight or even more, using small stickbaits(65-85 gms), will it provide good casting distance? and lift power to lift those fish(from around 90m depth)?

Thanks in advance

Hi Mahmoud,

I would recommend Big Tuna 87 or 710 for your tuna fishing.  If you need to cast far for the tuna with small lures, then big tuna 87 is suitable.

Cheers

Richard, I think fighting a 100kg BFT on the long 87 will be very very difficult

Put me in that 'difficult' position anyday  ;)

I've very limited experience in popping, and the largest fish I caught so far was a 100lb BFT on a jigging rod, so landing those monsters on popping gear is quite a big challenge for me
I just wanna be sure that I'm using the right tools for the job to have a fair chance of landing the fish and minimize the chance of broken gear trying to lift this fish up

If you're afraid of the length, then Big Tuna 710 or International 77 should be suitable for you.  We are still testing International 77 and will announce the launch soon.
