I had heard these work fantastic last tuna season but had trouble getting my paws on a few. I have not used one yet but I put in an order for a bunch of them for this season. This looks like an exciting way to fish esp when they get picky.

PS I use 4-5 oz with 30# PP in 110' of water and hold bottom for fluke without problems...unless the tide is really honking, then I put the boat in reverse and hold position with the motor. Thin braid is the key to lighter weights + it is a lot more fun to fish with. Mono is stone-age for fishing deep water, it is like fishing with big rubber band.
