wetibbe,

I have been using wireline for strippers , tuna, wahoo for over 15 years and the best thing I have found to work for me has been , the inner wires of telephone wires ( the funky colored ones found inside of a large group) . Twist them into the wire and finish off with barrel wraps lik you would on a shark rig. I would also recomend the top shot of 80 lb mono snelled to the wire (no swivel to get caught up) . This will aborb shock on the hit , remember wire has no strech, it will also be easier to untangle or cut off in the event of twisting or knots created by multiple hookups of bluefish . Attach a swivle to the end of the mono to connect the bunker spoons and 9er rigs.
