"High Speed Hoo's"

Here is some HIGH quality artwork to show off the highly effective high speed wahoo rig. High speed trolling for wahoo is effective because it allows you to cover a lot of water and helps to keep less desirable species off your lures. Here is the typical rig (It can vary depending on your personal preference).

-Rod/Reel needs to handle heavy line and heavy drag. My choice is a JUNO BAIT Bent Butt Rod, Shimano Tiagra 50, and completed with 80lb wire.
-Snap swivel from the wire is clipped onto an inline trolling sinker. I prefer trolling sinkers rigged on cable.
-The Sinker is followed by an 20-100' Shock cord of 150-250' Mono. This provides some shock/stretch when a wahoo hits at high speeds. Length varies depending on conditions, but at least twenty feet keeps the lure away from the sinker and helps to keep the Hoos from hitting the sinker.
-Last is a 3-6' of cable and the rigged lure of your choice. YO-Zuri Bonita and Heavy Skirted Lures are a good choice!
