Rubberband Technique (Live bait Rig) for Bluefin Tuna

Captain Dave Hansen here with an original video I did on the Rubber band technique when targeting bluefin tuna for deeper depths. This technique is great because it does not weaken the line when adding a weight to the line VS tying a weight directly to the line. This is a great way to target deeper depth tuna in the 60 to even 100 + ft range. try this technique out ! the bluefin tuna , yellowfin, and yellowtail will bite! This is a great live bait rig !
Bluefin fishing is the pinnacle of Southern California sportfishing (and arguably the world) for its pure brute strength and incredibly tasty table fare.

[@dinorichetti]

Go deep for the beasts. Thanks, Dave, for sharing.

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

Thanks for listening

[@chuckem]

Great video. Made it simple.

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

Glad you liked it!

[@jejoko]

I have a theory that the weight doesn't get shaken off but that it actually gets bit by other tunas that get excited by the fast shaking of that shiny sinker.

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

Cool, Make a video

[@robertslegers257]

Many anglers paint the sinker black for exactly this reason.

[@mikewest1523]

👍 used it last summer it work'S

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

Good to hear

[@Pietro-ni6ow]

I use rubber bands as well. I don't put it on the knot because the knot is usually the weakest point of the line. I put it on the fluoro....as it is more abrasion resistant than braid. Tight lines everyone!

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

I like the Knot so it won't slide.

[@sandog]

LOVE quickie tips!

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

thanks

[@oceanlove9052]

Amazing technique love you swear by it

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

[@nathanbystedt2120]

why dont you need the rubber band at 50-60 ft? smaller weight? thanks!

[@jedijakejacob3690]

DAVE YOU KNOW I LOT AND RESPECT YOU , BUT I TRYED THIS WHEN YOU FIRST POSTED IT , SAME RUBBER BAND , NEVER CAME OFF 50/70 YELLOW FIN HUDSON CANYON, GOOD NEWS IS WE LANDED THE FISH HAHAHAHAH

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

WOW YOU CATCH A FISH. THE RUBBER BAND WAS A GREAT rubber

[@euphoriarealtygroup]

We landed 7 of those bluefins on a 1.75 day trip last week , mostly on this sinker rig.

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

Thank you

[@erk-1]

What size of weight for what deepness?

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

6 to 8 oz

[@mwhitcraft]

I am a kayak fisherman out of Dana Point. I love your videos and am very interested in subscribing to your website, especially concerning fishing spots in my area. However, I was wondering how much help it would be since I cannot go more than around a mile and a half offshore. Would it still be worthwhile for me?

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

There are about 8 good spots but I teach you how to fish them

[@caseG80]

Save your time catching subscribe to his website if your asking do it. Cheers

[@fishermanssquad]

What size of flourocarbon we used for sinker rig?

[@GettingBentWithBo]

Depends on the size of the fish.

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

👍🏻

[@jjjohnst082988]

I saw one of your previous videos where you used a torpedo sinker but tied it inline between your braid and floro, when do you prefer that over the rubber band? I’ve just used the rubber band technique and have had luck with that but I’m curious to try it inline.

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

I use the inline fishing Yellowfin on Dolphins

[@josuebatrez4887]

Great video Cap! Would this work for yellowtail?

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

thanks

[@raulordonez7921]

That's like 48 inches bud

[@YourSaltwaterGuide]

Sure is
