Why Tuna Belly for Surf Fishing?

Tuna Belly is excellent bait because of it’s strong scent and hard skin texture. It hangs onto your hook and draws in the big ones.

• Oil Content: Tuna belly is very oily giving it a strong scent trail in the water that attracts monster fish fish from good distance away.
• Taste and Texture: The tough skin makes great for biting and holding onto the hook while you fight and reel. more likely to bite and hold onto the bait.

Dillon’s Corner is the only tackle shop in Buxton carrying locally caught Tuna Belly. We have it brought in when fisherman down in Hatteras Village catch tuna.
