I’m a pretty in shape guy and struggle with 30 lbs of drag..50? Holy crap
Wow ! My bomb really got famous.
You're a legend! 😂
BUMMER..YOU NEVER SAID WHAT SIZE TREBLE HOOK...THATS WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW.
@@jackiefitzpatrick2906 5/0 and up generally
Assist hooks too long? Treble hook and assist hook can lock together? 😮
Great video, but I would explore the videos out there showing mono is more abrasion resistant than flouro..it’s interesting
I’m going to fish that on my bass rod with my komodo! Thanks Steve! See you in few weeks
Oh Tony. 😅
Damn I have some 16oz lying around. I’ll make it myself
Thanks guys, but a bit much. Took a 16 oz torpedo, put a 12/0 hook on it, painted it with glow paint and a few 6 inch feathers and Voila, 2 tuna over 100 pounds on the Old Glory last year.
There are numerous ways to rig up one of these, obviously this is just a guide & people can adjust how they want to.
@@FishTheLegend For sure. The trick it seems, is being the first one to get the right depth and a 16 oz torpedo will do that. Im guessing at 300 plus feet the tuna dont care too much about hooks, color or much else. They see movement and bite............or not !!!
Yep exactly. All about being in the right place at the right time.
Looks like Nate is “growin’ it out” for summer. 😂😂😂 lookin like Benny Blanco’s cousin….
To avoid tangles, the ideal finish is a bit of heat shrink over the Sinker, when you are joining the split rings
Has anyone ever seen eyes pulled out of a non through wire Eddie bomb? If you have a solid ring (I cast my own) or split ring in the top eye and your hook(s) attached to the ring you don’t have to worry about if it’s through wire or not. Last year half of the fish put on the deck on my trip were on an Eddie Bomb!
Exactly this! Great point. You can avoid this risk by attaching the top & bottom justttt in case.

What size treble hook on the bottom ?
Great presentation thanks
5/0
I like the rig ... Yet the CRIMP ...... JOB?? BOY'S.. If you slipping the Crimp .. Make sure you take the time to ensure that the way you CRIMP WORKS FOR YOUR HOLDDING POWER... THE SIZE OF THE CRIMP IS THE MOST IMPORTANT..............

You mentioned flouro. Is the bomb used during the day???
It’s used at night. We are using fluoro for it’s abrasion resistance.
What happened to that lead weight? Did it fly and hit anything important? 😂
How can you tell if the torpedo sinker is through wire or not?
@@roaddog9222 really the only way is if they are sold or advertised as “through wire.” If it’s not specified, I would assume they are not. It’s more expensive to produce & generally not needed unless it’s this specific set up. That being said, you can always rig up a line in between the top & bottom tackle points so even if the sinker breaks away, you’ll still have your hooks and line on the connection to your top shot.
Thank you fir that information.
@@roaddog9222 happy to help!!
Are you using a single or double barrel crimp? Thanks for all the videos. I really enjoy them here in Wisconsin. Hopefully the fishing will still be good in November.
Single. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos! Thanks!
Great video.
Have you guys actually seen the brass eyes pull out of the lead before? Seems strange that it takes 50 lbs to pull mono through a crimp that’s not crimped. Wonder how many pounds it would take to pull the brass eyes out of the lead that’s completely formed around the brass eyes.
Personally I have not and I have only ever heard of a couple breaking. But in a long fight against a big Bluefin it could happen and that would be a heartbreaking way to lose a fish!
$40 deck hand will do it for free
Fantastic!!! Great presentation....
Thank you!
What size line is the safety line
What size 3 prong hooks for the Eddie Bomb?
@@randalleversole917 5/0 and up generally
easier to use good split ring with 2 assists directly to split ring (at the top), then use whatever heavy torpedo sinker you want. treble is overkill and not necessary
As mentioned in another comment, this is just a guide for a fully rigged up set, & people can adjust however they would like to do so 😊 tackle is all personal preference!
@@FishTheLegend sorry if i came off rude. just giving another way to do it. keep up the good work
All good! We want this to be a community so we definitely appreciate your thoughts & feedback!
Very cool
What kind of knot do you use on the swivel ?
Doesn’t super matter, something like the San Diego would be perfectly fine.
Thanks for this great tutorial!
@@ricardoallende2597 glad you found it helpful!
Is 12oz also good to have for Eddie bomb or just 16oz and above all I need? Trying to lighten my gear.
12 oz will work! Just depends on the current and conditions if you would need to go heavier.
I got their 500gram so I’ll always be straight up and down. It has a smaller profile than the 300gram jigs I have. One Eddie bomb to slay them all.
Unrigged the sinker alone was about 22$. Half the price of a rigged one. Either way reasonable.
@@petera1117 tried and true for sure!
Who am I kidding, I’m going to end up with 2 of all sizes.
What size, trelb hook you using?
We used a 5/0 but totally up to your preference
Thanks again, June 9th can't wait
Just watch again, is Flo a must fishing deep ? I've got 200 lbs izorline mono
From clowning on jigs and bass rods to now using torpedo sinkers for tunas. Socal is definitely an interesting fishery to be in, no doubt.
I don’t listen to all the nonsense. Some get bit but it’s really random. Stick with knife jigs
It all gets bit! These just help you get down to the zone really fast. We don’t think colors matter, it’s really just about being in the right zone & this thing plunges you there.
We’re also not saying don’t use knife jigs, this is just an alternative.
Good stuff capt.... thanx...every dirty trick counts on these savages!!! ..man these fish are no joke!!
Tite lines n charp hooks 🪝
