Thanks for the welcome TJ

Yep and all I was trying to do was get a few BFT for the gang to chunk fish with. By the same token.. I let a member of Quatro Tuna use a 40# vintage Cali jig rig for BFT. He must have caught 50 or more BFT in one night on a Bridgeport 8oz Chrome D-Jig ...Like Sandbass fishing. He was dropping straight down on the down current side of the drift

I have heard from several folks that sometimes YFT like the slower action Diamond Jigs better than the knife jigs . It would be wise to give both the Knife and D Jigs a try next time you're out hunting Tuna. Matching the Hatch Size with your baits has a lot to do with the Fall Rate of the jigs too.

I also found that casting the jigs outside the light circle (like we do with the topwaters) gets you a lot less cutoffs from Cudas... by the time your jig gets back into the lights .. hopefully it's deeper than the Cudas! That's what I did on Quatro Tuna and never lost a single Jig.
