Sailfish Tube Flies

Untamed Flies and Tackle - We are specialist fly fishing outfitters with a massive range of Scott and Winston fly rods.
www.untamedfliesandtackle.com.au

Double hook rigs in pink/white, purple/pink, and purple/black should work well there. A tropical sinking line for trolling and the usual heavy swivels, wire, heavy fluoro leader, and crimping kit round out the package.
 
There is a lot of pretty specialized fly gear needed. I used 14wt rods, BIG Abel Saltwater reels with hundreds of yards of 50# backing. You need 100# bite tippet because of the abrasion from the bills and Swedging worked better than any knot. Unless you are going to do it a lot, finding a guide service is preferrable. Or, use gear. Stand up rigs are suitable for a lot of other tasks and do a good job.
