Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 229 (Rail Rods)

Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!
Penn Fishing Tackle pro-staffer, Steve Carson, shares why a rail rod (and not one from the 80's!) is a key piece in your tuna-fishing arsenal. There are many to choose from and many ways each can be used to maximize your reeling in success, so sit back and learn from a master!

What kind and lengh should be my Leader for Slow Pitch Jigging ?

[@tunanorth]

Huge number of variables, but a good starting point is 25 feet of mono, and 4 feet of fluoro leader.

[@tunanorth]

Feel free to ask follow-up questions.

[@nolanoshiro2083]

i am surprised that you did not show any of the new 7'6" rods.

[@tunanorth]

This was taped in January, 2023.

[@tunanorth]

We did do this video on the new 7-6 lengths a little later in the year! ua-cam.com/video/zXgZPFah6pM/v-deo.html

[@dewaynemeyer1446]

When you talk about line wight is it brade or momo? And what difference does it make?

[@tunanorth]

Generally in this context, I am talking ab out the braid test. The topshot/leader may be the same, or heavier, depending on specific local conditions.

[@dewaynemeyer1446]

OK I got it figured out now thanks again for all you're help
