Commercial Tuna Fishing Rods, Reels & Gear

A commercial bluefin tuna fishing rod must be exceptionally strong yet flexible enough to handle prolonged battles, often featuring reinforced blanks and roller guides. Pairing it with a high-capacity tuna fishing reel that can hold 600yds + of heavy duty hollowcore braided line is essential, this will ensure smooth drag performance and the ability to land these super strong fish.

It is also important to load these reels using a professional line winding machine to ensure line is installed at the correct tension to prevent it cutting in and jamming the reel. Rok Max is the only company in the UK to have such a machine for loading customer’s reels. Whether fishing with heavy trolling setups or livebaiting techniques, professional-grade tackle is crucial for maximising catch rates and withstanding the harsh marine environment.

Other quality commercial tuna fishing gear - including strong fishing line, sturdy leaders, circle hooks, and trolling lures- is crucial for success, whether targeting bluefin tuna, (also yellowfin tuna or dogtooth tuna if you're abroad). Every component must be built for endurance, as commercial operations demand gear that can handle multiple hard-fighting fish over long periods at sea.
