Its no secret, trolling a single spreader bar with a few lures placed around it will produce strikes but you need a large bait spread to turn a school, consistantly get multiple hookups and put meat on the deck in short order. This is accomplished by using spreader bars, daisy chains and RDT Sport Dredges. Reel Draggin' Tackle offers complete trolling spread solutions for the price you pay for a single bar at some tackle shops.

Option 1

When you are ready to really kick it up, step up to the RDTKL 11 line Canyon spread. While this is a big spread, it can be effectively pulled on boats as small as 26 feet. Several years ago I pulled this spread with an experenced crew on a Grady White Gulfstream (23 feet long, 9'3" beam). It takes a good crew to manage, but when its out there and you are hunting for tuna, you make a big bait pattern in the water. The trick on smaller boats is to get these spreads in the water when you are on the hunt. Once you find the fish and you are into them, you don't have to put all of the lines back out, shift down to a 7 or 9 line spread consisting of what is being hit the most. Although on one trip, we had nearly every line go off and we boated eight tuna by 9am and we were done Tuna fishing. So, we spent the rest of the day bailing Mahi on ultra light tackle, nothing wrong with that! Also, keep those Wahoo in mind they LOVE those deep lines! If they are out there you will need to switch your stingers from mono to wire. As you can see, we like to keep the spread tight. This is the standard configuration for Yellow and Long Fin tuna. The Long Riggers are about 6 to 8 wakes back, and everything else keys off them. Keep the spread tight. If the tuna are boat shy, send the Entire SPREAD back, not just one or two lines. Remember, the spread is designed to draw multiple bites, break it up and your likely to get single bites if any at all. It takes the whole spread to draw the attention of an entire school. This is how you get four to six lines down, and it could be your only shot all day. Some anglers insist on a WWB rig. If you must, you can add another Way Back line down center, running it about 200 to 300 Yards back. In this case we would recomend the 901112. This 13" bird and daisy chain will get some attention. It can be purchased seperatly, by clicking here. We would recomend that it be added to the spread and run WAY back. The other centerline should be run in the short shotgun position, aft of the short riggers but forward of the long riggers.
