At night we used the tiagra30s and a few 80s in case a large model bigeye or swordie paid a visit.

Chunking is so much more fun than trolling!
I was just wondering if you had all mono on the reels with a floro leader? I am you dad's age and have caught all my chunking tuna with good old Ande Mono and a floro leader. Actually that is a lie because in the sixties and seventies we didn't have floro.We would shoe polish the leader to get the shine off. Your dad must be in good shape and KUDOS to him!!!!
