This is an amazing catch! A 5kg Bluefin Trevally (often called Omilu in some regions) is an absolute blast to fight, especially when you're jigging in deeper water like that 70–100m zone. Cagayan never fails to deliver some world-class action for the Jig and Pop crowd.
Here is a quick breakdown of why that setup worked so beautifully:
The Gear Breakdown
• The Rod (Smith HSJ-CS 66M): Smith HSJ (Hyper Solid Jigging) rods are legendary for a reason. The spiral wrap (if it's the CS series) and the high-elasticity carbon graphite give it that perfect parabolic bend. It absorbs the violent head shakes of a trevally while exerting massive lifting power without breaking the angler's back. Landing a fish that fast in deep water proves just how well that backbone performs.
This rod also despite being a solid carbon rod is light in weight which makes it ideal for long jigging sessions, this is done so by integrating a long tubular grip structure at the start of the reel seat area thereby decreasing the weight usually associated with solid rod, this innovation also increases both the rods power at the butt area and facilitates immense sensitiveness.
• The Lure (RPO OU812 UV React Jig): Ryoshi Pro Outfitters nailed it with the UV reaction here. Down at 70–100 meters, light penetrates differently, and UV-reactive finishes glow like a beacon to predators. Bluefin trevally have incredible eyesight and love to smash high-visibility, fast-moving targets.
Why the Quick Landing Matters
Getting a 5kg trevally up quickly from those depths isn't just a brag for the rod's power, it also keeps the sharks from paying you a tax visit!
Tight lines on the next session.
