- In this video I explain all the equipment I use to jig tuna off of the coast of Rhode Island.
I give an overview of the jig wallet, jigs inside it, assist hooks, terminal gear, split ring pilers, rod and reel, main line and wind on leader.
I am hoping this simplifies things and answers questions for those that are getting started or are perhaps up in the air about what kind of jigging reel / rod to buy.

I’m hearing whispers of tuna already! Get your gear right guys and get ready. I’m poking around this weekend, stay tuned
Well done and very informative video. Already have Nomad jig bag but yours is much better. Going to get a set of those pliers they look great. Thanks for taking the time, really enjoy your videos, never learn enough about fishing.
Thank you! You are going to like the split ring pliers.
Thank you for sharing your Local Knowledge!! 🤙 Looking forward to this season!! 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed the video. Got a few months, but I’m looking forward to it as well!
Gotta get that job bag, very nice. Keep the tackle videos coming, very interesting.
Jig bag
Thanks for the feedback. Are there any specific videos you would like to see?
Wow that bag.. maybe not for tuna but I'm limited on my space. Before I settle with the traditional plano boxes inside a bag, something like that might be another option (plus my 6 installed boxes).
It would work well for jigs in general, should be a good fit for you!
That tackle bag is awesome. The other benefit with that bag is the jigs arent bouncing against each other wearing out the coating. I need one.
The bag is indeed awesome! Don’t let that Mustad name fool you…. I looked online at EVERY production jig bag in the world and found this one to have the highest capacity, hold the jigs (with hooks) tightly and yet retain a ‘small’ profile overall.
Bag hold small jigs, medium, large, wide and long jigs beautifully. No bouncing against each other..
Great video! Thanks for sharing the info! It's the exact video I've been looking for. Just got a new boat at the end of last summer and really want to get into tuna fishing. I'm out of SE CT, so this was very helpful. I've been struggling as to what kind and size reel to buy, and you mentioned a temporary problem with the reel, so would you recommend possibly getting a bigger size reel?
Glad you enjoyed and found the video informative. I have not experienced any problems with the reel. I just mentioned that it would go through a heat cycle, then cool down like it is suppose to while fighting the fish for hours. Basically ran the reel through a torture test with that particular fish. Drag, gears etc were 100% after the battle. I caught tuna after that fish as well and the drag is still super smooth.
What kind of boat did you pick up?

Thanks for sharing!!!
Glad you enjoyed Nick
tackle bag is great, I would eliminate the split ring that goes to the jig and just attach the first split ring to the jig just to cut down on hardware and connections.
There are a few ways to rig the connection. While I agree with you about cutting down on hardware, the way I have shown somewhat cuts down on the jig being used as leverage while engaged with a fish.
Thank you that helped a lot
Glad to hear it helped you out!
Great video, thanks. Is that just a palomar to the swivel?
Its actually a 5 turn clinch knot. A palomar will work though
Great video. One question. There are several types (Flat,-Side Wind-Fall, Flat-Fall) etc) , etc) Shimano Butterfly types of jigs. Which type of Butterfly jig do you prefer? Thanks for the video.
Thanks for viewing, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Pretty sure the jigs are Shimano's flat-side butterfly jigs, those are the only shimano ones I have used.
They are linked in the description. Those are the ones
Thanks....Hope to see you off-shore of Rhode Island this season.
How much do you think color matters for butterfly jigs?
At depth I don’t believe it matters at all. Past 150 ft there isn’t much light anyways. When the fish are at that 50-60 ft mark I do believe color can matter greatly.
You don’t find a lever drag to be a pain in the ass having to set the drag every time you let line out?
No, I don’t find it a pain in the ass. The reel is compact and the throw from free spool to strike is quick.
There is a stop knob at strike so your not really setting the drag when you let out.
Besides, there are very few star drag reels on the market I would trust to handle tuna up to 200#.
What’s with the latex/rubber gloves?
The camera was blurring out my hands when they got close. Not sure if it was the white table below them or what was causing it. After doing the whole thing and watching it, had to re-do because it was blurry majority of the footage. 😡
Do you think these would work for cod? We used to jig for cod many years ago
Sure they would work. I prefer a Norwegian style jig or a jig with an affixed hook for cod though. Tip hook with clam
Thanks, Norwegian is what we used to use 40 yrs ago. You got some serious tackle there. Looking forward to more videos this year@@RhodeIslandSportfishing
