Lucas Nixon:
Hi,

Whats everyones preference for a garfish imitation stick bait for targeting tuna (longtail specifically)?

I have looked at the following:

- Little Jacks Sayoris,
- Maria Blues Code slims, and
- Maria Bullchop.

Any more I should be looking at?

Would be good to hear peoples opinions and also reccomendations on how they prefer to rig them eg single hooks and size etc.

Thanks,

Lucas.

I have only fished for kings with them but check out Jackfin Stylo 210. Great lure for PE2 and up to 3. Casts really well for it's weight, has a great WTD action and of corse it skips too.
Looks like a real garfish and I found makes quite similar comotion. Not living in Australia anymore but gave one to a friend in Sydney...he got smoked right away on the light gear haha!

Lucas Nixon:
Hi Felix,

They look pretty handy will have to add one to the line up.

I could see a king eating these as well for sure.

Cheers.

Alex Gomez:

Lucas Nixon:
Hey mate,

Yep making sure I'm ready to rumble for the longtails visit next year. Will throw these around locally for kings as well.

Cheers.
