  • Reel: Large two-speed reel designed for big game fishing.​
  • Line: 130-200 lb test braided line with a heavy fluorocarbon leader.​
  • Lures/Bait: Large jigs and live bait rigs; products from suppliers like Shimano and Mustad are suitable for targeting large tuna and other big game species on long-range trips.​
