I don't really see a reason to run such a small treble or really a treble at all on night time lures. Seems like trebles like to pull at the worst times on heavy gear and I trust twin assists on the bottom much more. I even omit the top hook entirely nowadays. I see more top hooks in the sides of fish than in the corner of the mouth anyways. After switching around for a few years I've landed on twin assists on the bottom only as the way to go even on larger knife jigs most of the time at night.

@@kylewebster3482 yeah man, twin assists on the bottom have definitely caught a lot of fish, I like the treble on the bottom because I have caught almost half my bluefins on the wind up and the treble has worked well for me landing those fish. There is a ton of ways to fish, these videos I make are just what has worked well for me🤙🏼

@@Tony67032 I’ll make one for ya man, probably have it out in early August, I. Hawaii for work for the rest of the month. I would recommend at a minimum I take with me…
1: 7’0 Medium Heavy Spinning rod (I use a Shimano Terez) with a 10,000 Shimano Saragosa with 500yards of 50lb Braid. For smaller grade fish 10-50lbs
2: 7’0 to 8’0 Heavy spinning rod, I use a Shimano Teramar and 20,000 Shimano Saragosa with 500 yards of 65lb braid, I have caught up to 160lbers on this combo.
3: 5’8” Extra Extra Heavy Shimano Trevala spinning rod with a 25,000 Shimano Saragosa with 500yards of 80lb Braid is my set up of choice for dropping jigs at night.
What do you have right now?

@@Tony67032 appreciate it man! It sounds like you have the right set ups for sure, I would recommend a spinning rod for fly lining, I think it’s a game changer when the fish on are on that bite man

@@Obseadianfishing yes I want to try jigging with a spinner setup , I eyeing the okuma makaira 20,000

[@Obseadianfishing]

@@Tony67032 a 20,000 with work but you will need to run 65lb braid probably due to line capacity, I run a 25,000 Saragosa with 500 yards of 80lb braid, I try to have 500 yards on all my reels so in case I hook a big one I won’t get spooled!
