Jigging Tackle for Giant Bluefin Tuna with Captain Dom Petrarca

[@Yakplanet_tv]

This a perfect set up. Captain knows what he knows

[@trungnguyen-xx2et]

Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.

Great straight forward info. Thanks for great video.

[@steveg8322]

Eye opener.🎣

[@SaltwaterEdge]

Awesome job Dom!

[@VPA1117]

What a set up. Going to order

[@gerardperlas270]

Great video basics for targeting larger tuna 🙏

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@poseidonam]

So I have a short jig rod combo. I'd like to retire the stick... move reel to popping rod. Then either run this set up , or rod with talica 16 or new 20 think jigging for hours late at night is possible with that 20? In the past I've been a victim of flip and rip. I need to control jigs on the way down to get more bites. I love jigging!!

[@alexanderrichardson5929]

Great Stories, Great Podcast, Great Video!

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

Glad you enjoyed all of them. Thank you for watching Alex!

[@IgZgo]

Would you think the Penn 16 VSX would work on this setup instead of the Talica 16?

[@uelhunter8160]

Thanks, this is great advice.

[@anthonytrigueiro7896]

If I wanted that same blank; all I need to know is it’s the 450g?

[@michaelrauch4766]

Dom i have a questing why no 2 speed reels ?? you talked about Talica 16 single speed/

[@benjamingrabscheid5438]

I’ve seen the Palomar finished two different ways. (1) with the final loop seated at the highest point of the knot/ against the tag end and (2) with the loop seated across the knot base/ touching the eye of the hook. How do you prefer capt?

[@lovinhouse374]

Good question, I am curious as well.

[@ILGNR2]

Rod question, any difference between the Ghost Hunter and the new Ghost Hunter advantage series?

[@MtnMichael88]

Same question here

[@DEHDON13]

What's that exact set up cost? Break it down for me please. Getting ready for next season and trying to land my personal best. 👍

[@michaelgrande9356]

Thank you for video. How long is the wind on?

[@GuilhermeSilva-qm8kj]

What's best Shimano ocea jigger ratio 5.1 HG or 4.1 PG jigging for yellow fin , I want buy same set-up for yellow fin , I really like this set up, I want buy light rod 250 gram

[@jasonking2355]

Really handy. That gear is similar to what we use here in New Zealand. Primarily on kingfish anywhere from 8kg to 40kg. Interesting that nobody uses swivels here.

[@peterk814]

Because everyone tries to make everything complicated with their bullshit FG knots.

[@Ninurtha1]

As matter of fact a video by a deck hand says DO NOT attach the split ring to the swivel . He says the swivel will fail under the twist and mega pull pressure . By the way Capt didnt mention the size of the swivel and the brand , it was so tiny but strong .

[@peterk814]

@@Ninurtha1 what deck hand?

[@MrEli204]

@@Ninurtha1I think there are just as many people who say tie to the solid ring as there are people who say attach at the split ring. Like all things fishing it’s based on what you were taught and personal experience.

[@miketorre16]

would you say with conventional vs spinning, that conventional reels you are fighting the tackle - keeping the reel positioned up vs the spinning reel you can keep it down. conventional are more cumbersome in my opinion. but interesting information

[@albertross1543]

Where can I get that rod?

[@tktkwei]

Do you recommend the OJ4000 with the 4.4:1 gear or the 4000HG for tuna around 150-200lb class?

[@sab35263]

That’s a great question! I have the same question too.

[@lovinhouse374]

What type of connection was used to connect the 40lb flouro to the mainline?

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

It's a loop to loop connection with the wind-on leader and the hollow-core with end loop.

[@lovinhouse374]

@@OnTheWaterMedia thank you!

[@CanyonJohn1]

How much drag are you using throughout the fight?

[@sab35263]

which rod blank are you using?

[@pompanomike8704]

Do you use the Ocea Jigger 2000 for tuna ? Do you think it's too light for these tuna ?

[@kevinpaskovich406]

Jigging world is top tier. Just got my 350g custom from them Ghost Hunter Advantage

[@NickyAdventures]

that reel have auto clutch engage.

[@jamjam9930]

Hey now! Spinning gear is too fun! At least mention the “f” word, stickler! Jk. I get it, though.

[@MtnMichael88]

Have fun catching an 800# bluefin on a spinning rod m8 ;) My back hurts just thinking about it.

[@IgZgo]

How much drag are you using to fight the giants ?
