Wahoo Fishing Products

By Mike Richardson 11/05/2022 6 mins read

There are many wahoo products on offer. A wahoo catcher, a MagBay El Plomerito, and a Sea witch can be found. Find out more about these products and how you can use them to catch wahoo. Keep in mind that a wahoo MOAB may run up to 40 feet, so it's worth looking for one with a larger footprint.

Wahoo catcher

Jigging, which is a great way for wahoo to be caught, is often combined in combination with chunking over a shipwreck or flying kites that are used to capture fish close by the surface. To guard them against the sharp teeth from wahoo they will use wire-assisted hooks. For best results, short wire leaders are recommended. Jigging lures strike the head first. Only 69-pound test wire is required to rig your jig.

Rigged trolling lures are designed for game fish to activate their predatory instincts. The Williamson Rigged Wahoo Catcher has an impressive intake hole and a moving skirt that create an electric commotion that attracts gamefish. The pre-rigged wahoo lure comes pre-rigged and includes five feet of 90-pound nylon-coated steel wire and an eight-0 Perma Steel hook.

Wahoo can swim at 60 miles an hour and are frequently caught while trolling the Gulf of Mexico. For these aggressive fish, light to medium tackle is recommended. They are very fast and will tire easily when they are hooked up. Two people are best if you intend to gaff the wahoo. For those who prefer hand-fishing, a gaffing set is a great option.

You can use bullet head skirt lures or 105-pound-test metal to gaff the fish. Wahoo anglers love ballyhoo-rigs. Ballyhoo rigs are usually expensive, and can run up to $30 per pound. Raw wahoo can be dangerous and may contain parasites. You should always cook it before eating it, as the meat is white and tastes similar to a quality tuna steak.

The wahoo-catcher jet lure measures approximately six inches in length and weighs 2.19oz. The rig has five feet length of smoke-blue and a size 8/0 hooked hook. This lure can be used to fish from a downrigger or planer and is available in multiple colors. A jet is the best choice if you are looking for an aggressive lure to waho.

MagBay El Plomerito

El Plomero is the high-speed wacky lure that will take down all wahoo. This large heavy tackle lure features an unusual skirt and a heavily weighted head. Here are some reasons this lure is one of the most popular wahoo fishing lures.

The MagBay Plomero is 16 inches long and weighs seventeen ounces. It comes with a double hook, size 10 to 11/0, and a stainless steel cable that is rated at 280 pounds. The MagBay El Plomerito measures 12 inches in length and has a double non-offset Hook. Available in purple or red.

This lure is known for being one of the most effective medium tackle wahoo lures. It can run in any spread and trolls at 16 knots. Even though they are meant for wahoo, it is also safe to use with other species. These lures are extremely effective and will yield a substantial catch.

Despite its price, this lure is a top choice for catching big waho. HookMag technology, which places the front hook in a stinger position until the fish is caught, is part of the lure's design. The hookmag technology helps keep the lure straight, even at high speeds of up to twenty knots. MagBay El Plomerito is also available in an anodized version, which looks almost like a mamba. It's also available in other colors. The Desperado lure is an exact copy of the Yo Zuri Bonita. It also features wire connections and swivels connecting the two hooks.

Sea witch rig

If you want to target wahoo on your next fishing trip, use a rig resembling the famous ballyhoo. It's a great choice for tying on sea witches, as this lure is very effective at catching big fish. It is easy to use a ballyhoo-rig, provided you select a high quality ballyhoo.

For wahoo to be rigged, you will need to tie the bait using a cable or wire. You should fish at a minimum of twelve knots to get the best results. This lure is effective for both wahoo and tuna. You can even use a downrigger with a sea witch rig to increase your chances of catching big wahoo.

For lures closer to the boat, a heavier weight headweight is recommended. A lighter weight is for lures further back. For lures set up less than 200 feet, a 48-ounce rig weight is recommended. A 16-ounce rig weight should be used for lures set out more than 400 feet. These lures are not designed to go very deep but will still get the lure in the water.

Wahoo fishermen use 480-pound-cables with double non offset hooks to rig their lures. A wahoo will troll the lures at an average speed of 18-mph. This is more than their average transit speed through two to three-foot waves. A heavy head weight is essential and a reel with high-quality drag is recommended.

Black Bart High Speed Wahoo Trolling Kit includes all necessary terminal tackle to set up a wahoo spread. This includes two San Sal candy lures as well as two rum cay lures. Additionally, the rig comes with two trollingweights and four shock leads measuring 20 feet in length. Each rig is capable of working with either thirty or fifty-pound tackle. This wahoo rig is perfect for any fishing trip.

In addition to the Ballyhoo, the rigs used for wahoo trolling require a light leader. This material is light and active. This lure is attractive to even the most stubborn strikers. You can also use a No. 41/2 Drone spoon for a planer.

MagBay Plomero

MagBay offers many products for catching wahoo. There are many sizes and colors available for their wahoo lures. The MagBay Plomero measures 16 inches in length and weighs 17 ounces. The Plomero has double hooks sizes 10/0 or 11, and a heavy-duty 280-pound cord. The Plomeritos can be ordered in 12-inch lengths and 8 ounces. They also come with purple or rooster skirts and chrome heads.

The Iland Ilander weighs in at four ounces and is a eight-inch single-hook weedless bait. It comes in blue-white, black-purple, and blue-pink color variations. Flash versions are also available. The Plomerito can be used in many different ways and performs best when trolled at eight or fifteen knots.

MagBay's Desperado is a high-speed trolling lure with a one-inch head weight that's 7.5 inches long. It is a replica of the Yo Zuri Bonita lure, which is popular with wahoo. MagBay uses both through-wire connections, as well as swivels, to attach the hooks to its lure.

The Tacke Room Jag-A-Hoo weighing eight ounces is available in red and purple colors. The lure is nine inches long and weighs eight ounces. It has two offset 10/0 Hooks. The lure should not run too far back and should be lower than the water. It is attached to a six-foot-long, 275-pound wire.

A MagBay Plomero, a superb choice for wahoo fisherman, is a fantastic option. It is designed to lure wahoo into shallow water. Its head weight is eight ounces, which is more than enough to catch a hefty wahoo. It comes with a multi-strand stainless-steel cable of 280 pounds.
