Hiya
For GT's i'd stay away from bungees completely!! As you know, they're dirty fighters and would wrap your shooting line around the first peice of rock or coral they can find!! With normal floatline, you can exert more pressure on the fish and possible hold him away from the reef. A 60-70lb fish shot in shallow water, and you don't have a kill shot.............bye-bye fish and your spear!! They're simply unstoppable at that size in the shallows where there are plenty of reefs. Cable is a better option for GT's in rocky area's.
For tuna, there is no need for cable. Normal 2mm to 2.5mm mono is sufficient. Obviously, the 2.5mm offers better strength. The area and size of the fish will dictate whether you need a bungee. If the water is deep, then a bungee will work superbly. But if you're hunting in shallow water, where there is plenty of reef, a bungee works too your dis-advantage.
Hope that helps. Drop Daryl a email, pretty sure he'd be able to assist you!!!
Regards
miles
