Dreamtime Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 what would be the best hooks to use for YFT Cheers guys Sharp ones. Seriously, I use Pakula Dojo 15mm -40mm depending on line kg, Here they are double rigged or Wasabi 7/0 to 11/0. But as mentioned, must be razor sharp.

crazy Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 which will be better the single or double rig line class 80 pound Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Double hook rigs are better for trolling lures. Make sure you are using good strong hooks such as Mustad 7691s. 80lb braid will straighten light gauge hooks with ease. Cheers Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Pasha Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hey Crazy, just a quick question, any reason as to why you are using 80lb (37kg) tackle for YFT? For 37kg you can't really use light gauge hooks so I'd say a mustad 7691S in a twin hook rig would be perfect for tuna. You'll need to sharpen them as they are crap out of the packet...

Le Pasha Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 only new to YFT which line class will be good for YFT Cheers 15kg is perfect to start out, 24kg would be max for the school size YFT we usually encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Pasha Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 sorry about all the ques what type of line would suit cheers IGFA rated mono lines are your best choice. Maybe Stren Hi-vis Gold, Momoi, or Ande which are all very good lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Pasha Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just be aware lads that Ande is not IGFA rated- although the premium choice due to its transparency for YFT, if you do make a record claim, you can only hope it breaks below designated rating. If your food fishing, can't go past it though. Hey Ant, IGFA rated Ande at a couple of different shops, and on their website they advertise an IGFA line called Ande tournament and a non IGFA line called Ande premium - is that what you're talking about?
