Hi Captain Archer,
Down here in Fiji, when we see tuna holding down deep, we run the usual surface spread with a spreader bar and bird in the middle of the spread. Then we put out a white or pink squid on a big trip-planer down and underneath the spread. This usually brings the first fish up and the rest usually follow. This way of fishing deeper might be of interest to those who don't like downriggers and want to troll at normal surface tuna speeds but are currently missing out on all those fish holding deep.
Regards,
