Thanks for that YakDr,
Was thinking i had asked about some sort of trade secret..
I had look at a few set ups from boat fishos, but they seemed to go for very heavy trace.
I have both braid and mono, so can see what i like best, I have brought a couple of the sebile flad shad type lures..would they work?

Thanks again for your help]]> Tue, 23 Feb 2016 17:01:07 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=115952&PID=1622261&title=tuna-setups#1622261 <![CDATA[Tuna setups : There are a few different setups...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=115952&PID=1622216&title=tuna-setups#1622216 Author: YakDr

There are a few different setups amongst those of us that chase tuna in the Naki from kayaks but I will describe my setup:
I tend to run 8-10kg steups. I prefer braid (10kg) (some prefer nylon to make it easier to deal with twisted lines from double hookups)  with a 3-4m length of 15kg nylon tied to a snap swivel. This is then either connected directly to the towing eye on the lure or connected to a short length of 15-20kg fluoro tied off the front of the lure with loop knots.
In terms of lures - any small "rapala type" lures with good swimming action in the 5-15cm range should work.
Hope this helps

I'm looking at having a go at chasing some Tuna,
I would like to know how to rig up a rod to troll from a kayak (leader lengths and strengths etc.).. I have both braid and mono set ups.
Apologies if this has been covered before - I couldn't find it in a search.
 
thanks for any help I can get
 
Dave
