Our fishing tackle
12#, 20# and 30# pound class gears general tackle is the standard for Sailfish,
Wahoo and inshore species. The Blind Strike then has rigged a pair of 50# and
#80 gears ready to catch "the big blue" or, if you prefer, to fish with live tuna or
artificial lures. Obviously, our crew will be more than happy to rig your own tackle if
you'd like to bring it with you.
Also due to a great number of Sailfish you'll see tailing in our waters, it is an
excellent opportunity to have a try on fly rod. The technique used when targeting
Sailfish on fly fishing equipment is usually to troll a spread of "Bird Teasers"
and "Daisy Chains" until the Sailfish appears and then casting the fly to our friend.
In this case we recommend you to bring your own fly fishing tackle which should
include a good 12 or better 14ft quality rod (i.e. Sage, Orvis and T&T) with a good
reel and a strong drag.
In the same way if you like light tackle (anything under 16 pounds) or popping &
jigging (ie to the Andaman Islands), you should carry with you your own gear.
Our professional Captain and Mate will be able to assist both the novice and the
veteran angler as well as to introduce to the Big Game the youngest members of
the family. As general rule of thumb anyway our crew can help you as much or as
little as you require.
On board we currently speak English, Italian and Thai.
Finally on the Blind Strike you will find a fully-fitted and ample cockpit, with
outriggers, fighting chair, livebait well, tuna tubes, transom door, rigging station
and salt/fresh water wash down.
