The Offshore Crate's casting lane, boxed. Fish showing on top give you one shot at a moving school, and everything here is built around making that cast count.
7' Tuna Casting Spinning Rod: the length to reach a pod that will not let the boat close and the backbone to drive a hook at forty yards, not just at the rail.
Slider (7"): the first cast when fish are up and eating. It runs just under the surface with a wide side to side glide, which reads as a wounded bait to a fish that has been chasing healthy ones all morning. Cast past the school and let it swing through.
Pro Tail Paddle Guide Pack (6.5", 5 oz): the answer when they are on top but refusing the surface, or when the school sounds and reappears fifty yards away. Swims fast enough to keep up with a moving pod and gets a foot or two down to the fish sitting under the showing bait.
Tuna Series Epoxy Jigs (4 oz): the small bait call. When the feed is on sand eels or peanuts and the big profiles get followed and turned down, this is what matches. Long casts into wind, fast retrieve, no thinking required.
Big profile, mid profile, small profile. Match what they are eating and get it there.
