Offshore Fishing 101: Rigging a Mackerel Pitch for Blue Marlin Fishing

In this video Capt. Tom Peele from Bangarang Sportfishing, 87' Spencer at Wrightsville Beach, NC, walks us through his technique for rigging his Blue Marlin Pitch Bait Rod. This video was shot using a 50 weight reel but as Tom notes you can apply this method to fit the class of Blue Marlin that you are targeting.

Fantastic. Great info.

Thanks for doing these. Quick, to the point, and not only “here’s how” but a little bit of “why.” Keys to good instructions.

What pound test are you running on the main line? How much drag at strike? Thank you!
