Jigs for Yellowfin Tuna

(1/2) > >>

Daniel Latif:
Gday guys, as some may know most of my fishing is made up of gamefishing for the likes of marlin and tuna off Sydney. I wanted to try and target Yellowfin Tuna in the trail using some various jigs.  I am sure that if there are fish in the trail there is no reason why they wont have a go at a jig, and its definately worth a go when the fish are finnicky or the bite is slow.  Can anyone help me out in selecting a few jigs that may work on the Yellowfin, theres so many to choose from!
Average size of fish this year has been between 30-40kg. 

Thanks in advance
Daniel

I can't comment on Australian yellowfin, but the YFT in Mexico seem to really like the "sardine" colored Shimano Butterfly jigs.....so much so that they eat the paint off them:

Greg Burt:
They look a lot like the 'SureCatch' Jigs.

Mark Lewis:
I have jigs from about five different makers that look to have come from the same origins.  To assume that it's a coincidence they are all so similar is a bit of a stretch  ::)  (and yes, SureCatch is one of the five).

Mark Stotesbury:
Hi Mark
agree that the butterfly jigs work just a pity they dont put a more durable clear coat on them ,caught 3 yellowtail on one and looked the same as yours did .
cheers mark
