I will see if I can find any posts on making my own slip tip.
What thickness shaft would I need??
How many bouys would it take to hold one of these up!

Hi
On one of my videos a 60-70kg Dogtooth tuna pulls 2 floats down, one is a Boogie board type float and the other is just a normal oval shape float, the tuna snags the rig on the reef at 50m+ and breaks the line.
I have read many stories about Greg Pickering (Current Yellowfin Wr holder) and others who dive the islands off mexico, they report Tuna of 200lbs pulling 3 foam floats down into the blue easily, they will wait on the surface till the floats hopefully pop up and chase them down and fight the fish.
I think monster Tuna that you have of 300kilos will require an excellent shot to be landed at all. If you use the right terminal gear and have foam floats you could possibly take a shot, jump in your boat have binoculars ready to hopefully spot the floats when they surface.
cheers
