Tuna frustration
Maybe freshwater, not sure, but the Hydro's are thru-wired. The 3 5/8" weighs 7/8 oz; the 4 3/4" weighs 1.5 oz. As you mentioned, they are feeding on small bait but the slow, big pop, let it sit a second, pop again and repeat then let 'em eat, worked for us. Hope I didn't just jinx myself...

I'm still not sure how important "match the hatch" is. Out the 100's we landed off of Newport, almost none were on baits that matched the bait in the water. Our best and smallest topwater offering was easily twice the size of the baitfish the tuna were eating. We got them to eat Dannys and other weird stuff. They will eat anything anytime some days, but usually what they want is something weird (as in something that doesn't match) when they're being picky. |

The Hydrometals (hydro jigs) can be found small. My smallest are 18 grams (~ 2"). Cabelas has some of the small 5/8 oz in stock for $5.95. 
None of my local shops ever have any in stock - sell out FAST.  |

Van,
Did they look like this?
3 of us went out yesterday and had a fun day!
We were hoping for one large one, but managed to land 4 of them this size,
But I only got this 1 picture because the batteries died in my digital camera!
