Swordfishing Lights ? - Page 2

Whitewater · 12-30-2005, 11:38 AM

Here in MA we have a short season of them. I have found the
best rigs imitate the small shrimp. A chain of GOLD flies seem to
outfish everything else. If you tie flies.. Gold Mylar tubing
tied front and rear with a slight unraveled section on the rear.
Then rig them up with clear mono like a sabiki.

Attach a diamond jig and troll till you find them, then stop and jig.
I have caught over 400 lbs in 2 hours with 2 guys using this rig.
It simply works. I have given some of these to others, and they
have caught bait fish down to FL and on the West coast, CA and
Cabo.

Hey Cary... which light are you using to catch those big fish?

-Tek

I use a swordlight which works well when I have time to put it out. Believe it or not I have caught my biggest fish in the dark.
