    When it comes to casting lures to yellowfin tuna, one of the very best pieces of tackle to have in your arsenal is the sub-surface lure, in particular, sinking stickbaits. You will probably get more strikes on this lure than any other. It will also help you avoid having surface birds snatch your lure off the waters surface. No matter where in the world you are chasing yellowfin tuna, sub-surface lures for yellowfin tuna are a must have. The upper three meters of the water column is where tuna primarily feed, where most fish are caught and where your fishing efforts should be focused. This is a result of yellowfin tuna using the surface as an edge to trap baitfish. You may find them in full boil gorging on baits, just below the surface or down a little deeper keeping the baitfish corralled against the surface within striking distance.
