Fastracs would definatley be a fun way to fish for threshers, Im going to try that this summer with 30 lb test. Do you think fastracs would work for yellowtail too? Do you think you would have to reel them in as fast as irons? I would imagine a lot of threshers would be tail hooked because of those sharp little trebles. Good luck with your skiff. My dad had a 23' Parker center console but we just recently sold it because the kayaks cost much less to launch. I sure do miss those trips to the islands though :-(
