Hey folks,
Have seen some great wahoo pics lately and some dialogue about wahoo lures.
Here is the best one I ever had…
Run right in the prop wash, this thing was deadly.
We also ran it at high speed with a cigar weight or ran it way back in the middle of the spread.
Named it “Lucky” although the name faded on its side over time.
Good luck to all the blue water guys!!!

What size multi strand are you pulling that on?

You know, TTK, I do not recall without going and looking at my rigging kit. I rigged that thing about 15 years ago and it just ran and ran and ran.
I want to say it was 3-400 lb test.
We ran wahoo lures on single strand and multi strand - with the multi you did not have to worry about kinks.
I will look in my kit and get you an answer.

that is 480-600lb cable
Just wondering. Looks like you’ve had pretty good success on it. I always am torn between losing a leader shy fish and losing a fish because they bit through.

I will check to see what it is and let you know.
Don’t have hard data but we would also have been pulling lures on single strand in the 100 lb range (at least in the winter when we were purely wahoo fishing) and I do not recall a tremendous difference in bites between the two.
We clearly were not true pro’s either - but we loved everyone we ever caught!
