I really can’t think of a compromise rig. We use as thin and sharp a hook as we can for sailfish whereas you need strength for GT.

Lorenz - rigging for sailfish is very very different to what we rig for GTs.

I already feared that, but hoped for some kind of compromise. I got a hit last year and lost one after some minutes this autumn.

Tackle & Techniques / Re: Rod for 150g poppers (<600$)?

Hi Brandon,
thank you. I'm quite happy so far 

I would suspect is is well capable of larger poppers. What's the heaviest/largest cup you have effectively worked?

The largest cup I fished with the PowerFight 711 is the Cubera 150, which worked very good. I didn't get a monster, yet, but it seems it was a good choice.

The Ripple will be well suited for what you want it for

Lorenz - rigging for sailfish is very very different to what we rig for GTs. On lures, we rig much smaller hooks for sailfish. There really isn’t a compromise rig that is suitable for both that I have seen. Sailies are a real chance capture. I’ve only had two when fishing for GTs in some 23 years of GT fishing

Hi,
How do you rig your GT lures, when there is a chance for sailfish?
Is a single hook at the rear (maybe with some assist cord) increasing the chance to properly hook them up?
