You can tell he has put a lot of thought into his system of fishing for marlin with trolling lures. Their is no doubt he is one of the best. What you are about to see is a complete breakdown of how you set up a spread of lures to target blue marlin. David takes a super comprehensive approach to sharing his knowledge and opinions on offshore trolling lures, rigging and fine tuning lures, how to properly setup and how to manage a spread when marlin fishing. Marlin fishing is basic physics. You have an action and a reaction to a force. You do not have to overcomplicate what it is. The presentation David gives in this In The Spread fishing instruction video is very thorough. He starts with the first lure you want to put in the water. This allows you to regulate your speed, based on the swimming action of that first lure, and work your pattern around your first lure. Wave position and placement on the wave is key. You will learn which waves in the prop wash to run which lures on to achieve the most appealing bait spread and where on the wave the lure swims best. In setting up the spread, David using tag lines where he attaches his line by using a dacron loop. A dacron loop is a loop that is spliced into the line. This loop is secured to a release clip. What this does is give you a certain amount of drop back to allow the fish to grab the lure and the hook to come tight. Tag lines also allows you to manipulate the lures performance in the given seas. This is all demonstrated to you in great detail. One of the cool concepts that is examined is how a lures swimming cycle impacts hook up ratio. When a lure cycles, it comes to the surface grabs some air and then goes back underwater. The calculus you have to determine is how much time is ideal for the lure to stay underwater. David is very keen on what his ideal cycle time should be. The reason you need that lure to stay in the water for an ideal amount of time is that it is easier for a fish to catch the lure if it is running below the surface. You hook up ratio is also better when the lure is not skipping all over the surface of the ocean. Once David has the spread set up and swimming well, he shares his thoughts on how you setup it up and how that helps with hook-ups. He goes into lure positions based on size and head shape design. By showing you the types of lures for each position, you will have a good idea of how to do this yourself. He will also discuss lures vs. teasers and utilizing bait and switch to increase hook ups.

For the leader, he explains wind ons vs IGFA legal leaders and which he prefers for various species. All the knots and connections, swivels, crimps and chafe gear are highlighted and why they are used. Lure designs are all about hydrodynamics. How it swims is all based on the shape. The position the hook runs in will also effect the lures performance. So, take that into consideration when rigging lures.

In this particular video, you will meet Jack Tullius, the owner of Black Bart Lures. Jack is an extremely accomplished marlin and wahoo fishermen with an immense knowledge of lure shapes, hook design and rigging marlin lures, as well as wahoo and tuna lures.

The conversations and demonstrations cover a deep analysis of several big game fishing hook options, assembling hook sets, a range of Black Bart lure heads, skirting lures and how you rig marlin lures. Jack Tullius has helped develop several interesting fishing hooks that provide improved grab and hold qualities, for both big and small fish. The innovative Pa'a hook has a thinner profile with all the strength of a meatier hook. It has a needle eye the helps provide a better transition between the connecting material and the hook. The conical shape of the point offers more puncture and less cutting, which prevents the hook cutting into the marlin as the hook moves around during the fight. Another key feature is the hawks bill on the hook tip which provides better driving properties on the bite. Black Bart does exhaustive testing before they release any new product, to guarantee results. The in-depth conversation Jack and RJ have about the ingredients, the cable, crimps and chafe gear that go into each Black Bart hookset is quite enriching. These two think about fishing on a deeper level. There are two basic components when it comes to cabling the hook. On smaller hooks, Jack likes a little more flex in the cable, which allows for more movement in the water. For this smaller rig, 480 lb single strand stainless steel cable, 7/0 or 8/0 hooks, adhesive shrink tube, hard chafe gear and double wall copper crimps are used. When you step up to a larger hook, 900 lb single strand cable, 9/0 hooks, 4:1 adhesive shrink tube, hard chafe tube and copper crimps are utilized. If you are going to be using 10/0 hooks, double strand cable is favored by Jack. You will learn lots of technical information on the pros and cons of single hook vs. double hook sets. Since Jack is an accomplished wahoo fisherman, he does offer some valuable insight into the hook and rigs he uses and sells. His bigger wahoo lures are rigged with open gap 11/0 hooks and twisted 600 lb cable. The smaller wahoo lures are rigged with turned in 9/0 hooks and 600 lb stainless cable for 30-50 pound tackle. For his wahoo rigs, Jack runs the cable a foot and a half thru the head of the lure. A really cool aspect of watching Jack Tullius talk lures is the passion that comes through. This guy is a lover of the art of lure making. The range of head shapes, skirting options and hooks is a spectacle to behold. Jack will discuss matching skirts to heads, different skirting materials, why some are thicker than other and then you will watch his step by step demonstration on how to skirt a 1656 marlin lure. Being able to feel like you are sitting down with Jack as goes through the selection process for which color combo works best for the inside and outside skirts, how to cut skirts to fit lure heads. Starting with the inner skirt, you will see how to do it a very easy way. How do you align the skirt colors with the head design for both the inner and outer? See that and other rigging tips about fine tuning skirts, inserting the hook set and the use of the hook lock. Again, we are talking about lure head shapes. Jack is going to talk about a variety of principles related to head shape and which style works best in each position in the spread. Understanding what lures do in the water is key.
