1ST OFF...YES, YES, YES---CHANGE TOP SHOTS AFTER EACH TUNA. IT'S WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY. I KEEP 2-3 RIGS (100, 130, AND 200# TOP SHOTS) OF EACH KIND READY TO GO. THAT WAY IF IT'S A HOT BITE I CAN LAND A COW AND HAVE ANOTHER RIG READY TO GO. AFTER A GOOD RUN, OR AT NIGHT, WE CRIMP OR TIE UP OUR NEW TOP SHOTS ON BANGED UP GEAR.
AS FAR AS WHAT HOOKS TO BRING, ASK ANDY CATES (I THINK HE'S STILL THE SKIPPER ON THE RRIII)...HE'LL KNOW WHAT THEY LIKE TO USE. I WOULD SUGGEST SOME 11/0 OR 12/0 MUSTAD 7691'S FOR SKIPJACK BAIT.
I WOULD USE 130# SPECTRA ON THE 30W...IT'LL HOLD PLENTY OF IT! THERE'S ALWAYS THE BACK UP RIG IF YOU'RE GETTING SPOOLED.
YES, BRING YOUR OWN BOMBS.SIX TO EIGHT OZ. SHOULD BE FINE. CATCHY MAKES SOME NICE ONES, BRAIDS GET BIT AS WELL. HOWEVER, THE 'HOOS REALLY TEAR THOSE BRAID ONES UP, SO BRING EXTRA MYLAR SKIRTS. USE CATCHY TACKLE JIGS FOR TROLLING AND YO-ZURI BONITAS(MARAUDERS). THEY SEEM TO WORK THE BEST FOR ME.
LAST OF ALL, THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF GREAT DECKHANDS AND OTHER ANGLERS TO HELP RIG YOU UP...SO DON'T WORRY. HAVE A BLAST!!!
