By YFT, that is.
On the yak, I've only caught Bonito with them.
Hope to snag a YT with it soon.

im wondering if they would be better rigged with the assist hooks or the treble...

Anyone else notice the New Seaforth A.M. half day yesterday got Yellowfin? Is it possible we will get them within a reasonable yak distance?

ya thats two consecutive days now. the other day was like 82. I wonder if they have come in closer or if the half day boats are just gunning it offshore hoping to hit a school...

I do like those assist hooks and sure they will work. I haven't tried them on a colt sniper and I don't know that they would be any better or worse than the trebles.
