Thanks guys. I have learned so much from this board and others like it. We were trolling, slow - about 2-2.8 kts sog wiht live pogeys on 80# fluorocarbon. We were using those snaps that split in half and then basically lock the leader into them. When we got the tuna boatside, it was only hanging on by 1/2 of the hook as the snap swivel had come undone in the fight. I don't think we'll be using those again. Any other suggestions?
I am thinking wind on swivel to my line directly. No snap.
any opinions?
BTW - the harpoon is THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just don't try to lift the fish with it like a gaff. I might need replacements for my poon shaft. LOL.
