| To truly utilize and enjoy a bent butt stand-up rod, make sure to have a good quality, properly fitted harness system. Make sure you adjust it to your rod & reel before you go fishing, not in the heat of the battle. |

| We now use short swivel base rod holders designed for these short bent butt rods. They are available in different angles and they can really help create the ultimate stand-up fishing cockpit. |

| Many people overlook the fact that 13" and 17" squid bars at slow speeds can be one of the most effective ways to catch Yellowfin & Bigeye Tuna in the early morning and late afternoon hours. By slowing down your speed and presenting a bait that runs properly at slow speeds, you are keeping your baits on top of concentrations of fish and bait for longer periods of time, thereby increasing the chances of a hookup. |

| Don't over sharpen your hooks; remember that you are trying to penetrate a strong hard mouth or bill and a flimsy hook point may break, defeating the purpous of sharpening it in the first place. |

| Teasers can be very instrumental in raising billfish, especially when trolling with only 4 or 5 baits in your pattern. These large lures can add the extra commotion needed to bring fish into your spread. Keep different class rods ready in case something other than your intended target species pops up behind your teasers. |

| Don't underestimate the power of a jet. Although we used to only use large jets to catch Bigeye Tuna, we now utilize the various types and sizes of jets available to catch all species of big game fish. |

| Be sure to locate your thermo cline with your sonar when shark fishing. This will allow the most effective placement of your deep bait just above the thermo cline. |
