What some of the more popular jigs for Tuna in the northeast? I dont care if its for Bluefin or Bonito. Im going to be making a purchase of jigs soon and I wanted some good names and colors I should buy. Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
Booze
You can get the hammered jigs with the lunker light in them. Also the butterfly jigs work ,remember that nothing is going to work every time ,you need variety .
Jdizzle glad you chimed in I was going to pick up the heavy williamson Abyss/bethos speed kit too. though I hate the name of this company lol how about Dirty Dicks jigging lures? Have you guys ever tried any of the bucktail SPRO lures for tuna or bonito?

i had a 10 lb mahi straighten out a hook on a SPRO bucktail. i'll never buy them again. as for jigs, i've never used anything but diamond jigs for tuna in the northeast. great results
dang it! I went out and bought some SPRO's today. They look awsome I hope that was a fluke incident (no pun intended) Hell if I was a fish I'd eat those things lol. Dick's sporting goods had alot of good prices on the lures and alot of color options. I might go by there tomorrow and pick up some Dirty Dicks lures to round out my color/style choices.

We fished out of OI Saturday. After the fleet showed up all the tuna went down and would not bite on the troll. We fished with 3 jigs, one diamond jig and 2 butterfly jigs (don't know the brand). The butterfly jigs outfished the diamond jig with the diamond jig only producing 1 fish. Check out my report (w/ video).
