Learn to Catch Tuna on Jigs

Tuna.  On iron.  Your heart pounds.  Pure adrenaline.  I get it.

There were a few years in my 20s in Southern California when I got compulsive about iron.  I fished nothing but iron for everything - barracuda, bonito, calico bass, tuna, yellowtail.  Often I knew I could have caught more fish with other methods, but I couldn't resist the pure rush and joy of getting them on iron.

There's a misconception that you need specialized rods, reels and technique to catch tuna on jigs.   The latest trendy term for this kind of fishing is Slow Pitch jigging. In reality, you need none of those things to get started.  Use the gear you have.  The key is a very simple method of working the lure. 

It's all spelled out in a 3 page PDF, which you can get for free. Go to the Contact page, and ask for it in the message box. Or just email me and ask for it.

You already have a rod and reel that will work.  At most you need to buy a few jigs.   The method is the key, not the gear.  Read the PDF a few times and practice on the water. 

The method works anywhere in the world for tuna and other pelagics. 

This weeks challenge is to read the PDF and practice the next time you're on the water But beware.  The first tuna that freight-trains your jig might might be the gateway drug to iron compulsion.   At least for a few years...
