Abaco Big Game Commercial Greenstick
Fishing Tackle
Green Sticks were introduced to Hawaii in the
early 80's by the Japanese, these commercial trolling "green
sticks" are tremendously successful not only in Hawaii, but also
off the east coast of the U.S., Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico.
The generic from "green stick" (the color of the original brand
of sticks introduced into Hawaii at the time) has been applied
to all heavy-duty fiberglass and carbon-fiber (graphite) sticks
used in this type of fishery. The green stick is used to
elevated and tow a 20-30# wooden bird up to 400 yards behind the
vessel. The bird serves two purposes; (1) keep the main
line taut (a key component to the action of the lures), and (2)
act as a teaser to attract fish to the surface. Dangling
from the mainline between the boat and bird are 4-10 drop lines
with artificial squid lures that dip in and out of the water
(the lures are not as effective if simply dragged along the
surface, since the danglers mimic flying fish). Hard
striking tuna have been known to launch themselves a full body
length out of the water in an attempt to devour the irresistible
jumping squid lures. When hooked up, the mainline releases
from the green stick by breaking the tagline, is reeled in by
hand or by electric or hydraulic reels. An inflated poly
ball is used to float the bird and is positioned behind the
bird.
