We hit 7 and boated 6 yesterday, all using Yo-Zuri Hydro poppers. They wouldn't hit silver or the blue/white Atom poppers, or the metals. They liked the small Yo-Zuri in blue or green mackeral best, but the larger one worked almost as good (and we're able to cast it much farther over the school and bring it in to them). We remove the front treble and add an Owner 1/0 4x treble-wicked sharp and much better than the stock Yo-Zuri hooks. Another trick is to slow down; make a big splash, let it lie, another, let it lie. The tuna picked it up like it was stunned bait. Anyways, we had out share of frustration when you bring the lures through and not a touch!
