I know this is the Tuna forum but anyone have insight in rigging up for swordfish?
This weekend at W Atlantis we had two good hits by swordies but in both instances after a good run and significant bend in the rod the hooks never came tight. The one sword I did get this season came on a live squid circle hook chunking rig about 60' down off Greg's 35 T. Jason.
So now that the sword bite is getting better in the NE canyons, we find ourselves targeting them more in the deep at night.
A little frustrated with the standard rig, almost to the point af throwing a treble hook in there.
Any help is appreciated.
