The Sailfish isn’t easily caught, however. It instead boasts a strong sporting quality (an assessment of a particular breed’s strength, speed and movement patterns) that tests even the most experienced fishermen. Expect a challenge with every cast.

Strength

The Sailfish is an extremely rugged creature, utilizing its muscular body to quickly snap small-grade or even medium-grade tackle.

Speed

The Sailfish is a sprinter, achieving speeds of up to 65 miles per hour and effortlessly cutting through hide tide waves.

Movements

The Sailfish is famed for aerial jumps and sharp twists, tangling lines with a series of acrobatic movements.

These qualities suggest a powerful and relentless fish, which requires anglers to use high-grade tackle, sturdy monofilament lines and bait-and-switch techniques to avoid tiring. Do not underestimate the Sailfish. It's among the most difficult creatures to catch.
