Thanks for the suggestions. I agree with Tom and you that tuna are very conscious of sizes of jigs or lures. And also I believe smaller jigs and lure can entice more bites because big lure/jig's action is harder to fool tuna.
I saw a few Orion's lures at GTFISHERMAN's when I visited Kauai.
He said those lures worked pretty good for GT.
Some of stickbaits are huge.


Orion's Big Foot 140, Big Jim 190, Carpenter's GT Y 160, Sea Frog 120 and GT Y 120 (from the top)


Now that's what I'm talkin about! You'll have to let me know how the Orions and Carpenters work. I almost hate to use their lures because they are so pretty. BTW, the Sea Frog is great but you might think about putting a hook on in place of the spinner blade (which I doubt helps at night).

Just remember (about those huge stickbaits), while smaller is sometimes better, there's no replacement for displacement when it comes to Tuna Poppers. A giant pencil popper trashing on the surface can just drive 'em nuts.
