Are you marking your line? Seems to be the biggest issue is trying to figure out if you are in the zone that the Captain advises. Tips for that? Love your videos, thank you
Definitely! You can either have the tackle shop mark your line when they spool your reel, or it's easy to do yourself too! The deckhands can help you mark your line on your way out to the zone or you can do it at your house beforehand. Just make sure you mark enough line with a sharpie or something similar so that you can see it when fishing at night.
Marking line is a great way to be accurate when calibrating your depth but I’ve also seen guys & girls not get bit because their line says they are in the right depth but fish aren’t stationary. They can and will move water columns very quickly . Don’t just stop in that area the captain says he sees them. Go deeper and higher up 100 ft or so a few times if you aren’t getting bit immediately. Best of luck to everyone .
It’s a seeker 6480 with a fathom 25 filled with 65 braid and I change out my fluoro top shot for what I’m targeting, usually 40# and sometimes 50# as the upper limit. In my opinion it’s one of the best all around rods to have on a Sportboat. The biggest fish I’ve landed on it was an 80lb bluefin with many in the 20-60lb range. It’s a more stiff rod even though it’s rated for 20-40 and has a decent amount of backbone for its class. If the grade you’re seeing is greater than 80 then I would recommend a beefier rod like a super seeker70H or XH with a Fathom 40 or Saltiga 40-50
My go to is that fluoro leader straight to braid on those heavy setups. You can also tie on heavy mono (100-130#) straight to braid with a longer leader. FG knot and Tony Peña are incredibly strong connections when tied correctly.

Thank you both. Appreciate all advise.
What size fish are you targeting with that "gray light" rod/reel setup and what size would be the upper limit of it?

I have been looking for the spec for the jigging rod can’t find it ?? Can you help.
you connect the braid straight to fluorocarbon top shot directly?
No mono ?
