Blue fin tuna advice

[Mattblack]

she is sponsored by shimano.

I'm not so these are some of the rods and reels I would be running.

You were making recommendation....think about it.

I did think about it Pal not everyone drools over shimano and other tackle companies are catching up. MissShimano probably has a good network via her sponsors anyhow.

Also notice that each post starts like an infomercial. I have this x paired beautifully with y that's just super amazingly incredible. Lol. I've decided to start buying Daiwa just out of principle
:tongue:

:cheers: Time to jump on the Daiwa bandwagon!

Got a Daiwa revros combo at around the 8kg line weight. Nice rod and reel handles the vic Barra but don't think I would be game to try it on the tuna.

you will need a minimum of a 4000 sized daiwa to be able to have half a chance of stopping a 30kg tuna
you can do them on the smaller reels, but you wont have enough line capacity or retrieval speed, you will be winding like mad :rofl:

Be worth a crack if you had caught a few already on a trip mind you.

I know the 4000 stradic only holds 150 mts on braid. I would something like a 6000. Just incase you hook something bigger

4k daiwa holds fairly similar to a 6k Shimano

150mtrs..?
What are you using, anchor rope.?
10lb finns will go over 210 mtrs at least.

Daiwa BG 4000 official figures are

5.4kg/240m, 6.4kg/190m. PE 2.5/300m, 3/250m

i have PE3 (30lb ) jbraid on mine so guessing about 250m, hopefully can stop something half decent with that.
