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!

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.
