Hollow Ballyhoo is a very interesting alternative to traditional squid-style stingers, with a long, slender profile that closely resembles the garfish, saury and blueys that our Atlantic Bluefin tuna love to feed on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've brought these into Mr Fish specifically with our UK and Channel Island bluefin fishing in mind.
