That helps a lot Terry. Thanks. As a complete newbie to tuna fishing, should I start with a trolling or spinning setup? I sense trolling is the simplest. I'm a bottom dunker almost exclusively for the past 10 years, but this season I want to branch out into stripers/blues and tuna.
Given that info which way would you suggest? I have a number of decent spinning reels I used to striper fishing from the surf before I moved into a boat and took off for groundfish a decade ago. These reels will do just fine I think for stripers and blues, but they will not hold up for tuna. So I am inclined to get the trolling reel for tuna and move my surf reels over to 7 ft uglies for stripers.
I am making sense and does that sounds like a reasonable economical way to get started?
