MJI, I always put 2x or 3x strong single hooks on diamond jigs that are going to get used for tuna fishing. Just my personal preference ... I'm sure that I miss some fish that way, but the single hooks are less dangerous to you or the deckhand when the fish has been brought onboard.

Sorry, been awhile since I read through posts. Honestly not sure what hook size you would need, as I usually have to do trial & error on my jigs to get what seems right to me.

Hi Zeek,
If you don't mind, look at this link...http://www.thefind.com/search?query=tuna+hooks+3x
What size hook for 10-14oz diamond hammered chrome jigs For that size diamond jig I should go with a 10/0 assist hook on top or an owner st-66 3/0 trebble hook on the bottom. If you want to go with a single hook on the bottom you should look into something like an owner jobu hook or something like that attatched to a 280lb spro split ring or something heavier.
