Bluefin tuna dictate the rules. These fish can dive at high speeds, put your gear to the test, and challenge every detail of your setup. Between bursts of activity, rapid movements, and sometimes unpredictable behavior, it forces you to stay constantly on alert. Reading the fish?s movements, watching the birds, understanding the conditions?everything counts.

BRAID
A good braided line for tuna must meet three criteria: genuine, measurable strength; smooth glide for casting during the chase; and high abrasion resistance, particularly against the fins of these fish. The X8 Braid meets these criteria. The PE8 and PE10 lines are multicolored (four colors that change every 10 meters), which is a great way to keep track of how far along you are in the fight!
A braid designed to hold up... and make a difference when everything comes down to just a few seconds.
Available here: BRAID starting at ?29.90
When it comes to bluefin tuna, there?s no room for compromise. From the lure to the braided line, every component must be designed to withstand the intensity of the fight. Being properly equipped means giving yourself a real chance to land the fish when the opportunity arises.
