By Bill Rollins 20/10/2022 6 mins read

There are many wahoo products on offer. A MagBay El Plomerito, Sea witch rig and a wahoo catcher are all available. Learn more about the products and how they can be used to catch wahoo. Also, keep in mind that a wahoo MOAB can run 40 feet or more, so you might want to buy one that's a little larger.

Wahoo catcher

Jigging is a great method to obtain wahoo. For protection from the sharp teeth and gnats of wahoo, jigs should be equipped with wire assist hooks. The best wire leaders are short. Jigging lures strike first with the head of their lure being struck. Only 69-pound test wire is required to rig your jig.

Rigged lures for troll fishing are meant to provoke game fish's predatory instincts. The Williamson Rigged Wahoo Catcher's large intake hole and moving skirt make it a rousing attraction for game fish. The pre-rigged wahoo lure comes preloaded with 5 feet nylon-coated wire of 90 pound and an 8/0 Perma Steelhook.

Wahoos can swim up to 60 mph and are often caught while trolling in Gulf of Mexico. Medium to light tackle is required for these aggressive fish because they make long, hard runs and tire easily when reeled in. If you're planning on gaffing the wahoo, it's best to gaff the fish with two people. Gaffing tools are great for hand-fishing.

To gaff up the fish, you can rig your rig with bullet head skirt lures and 105-pound-test wire. Wahoo anglers love ballyhoo-rigs. Ballyhoo-baits are often very expensive, reaching up to 30 USD per pound. Raw wahoo can be dangerous and may contain parasites. It is best to cook it first, since the meat is white and tastes like a tuna steak.

The wahoo-catcher jet lure measures approximately six inches in length and weighs 2.19oz. The rig is made from five feet of smoke-blue rope and comes with a size-8/0 hook. This lure can be used to fish from a downrigger or planer and is available in multiple colors. A jet is an excellent choice if a more aggressive lure is needed for waho.

MagBay El Plomerito

The El Plomero high-speed wacky lure is the best choice if you want to slay wahoo. The El Plomero high speed wacky lure is large and heavy tackle. It features a unique skirt, carefully weighted heads, and a trolling attraction that allows for big game strikes. This is why this lure is one among the best for wahoo fishing.

The MagBay Plomero measures 16 inches in length and weighs 17 ounces. It has a double hook in sizes 10 to 11/0 and a stainless steel cable rated at 280 lbs. The 12" long MagBay El Plomerito features a double non-offset hook and comes in red or purple.

This lure is renowned as one of the best medium tackle wahoo lures available. It trolls to 16 knots and runs well in any spread. They are designed for wahoo but other species may also be able to inhale them. These lures work well and you will be rewarded with a nice catch.

Despite its price, this lure is a top choice for catching big waho. HookMag technology is used to place the front hook in the stinger position, until the fish hooks it. It helps keep your lure straight even when trolling at up to 20 knots. MagBay El Plomerito comes in an anodized version which looks similar to a mamba. However, it is also available with other colors. The Desperado lure is a copycat from the Yo Zuri Bonita. Its design also incorporates through wire connections and swivels that connect the two hooks.

Sea witch rig

You can target wahoo with a rig similar to the famous ballyhoo. It is a good choice for fishing with a sea witch as the lure is powerful enough to catch large fish. It is easy to use a ballyhoo-rig, provided you select a high quality ballyhoo.

If you want to rig a sea Witch for Wahoo, use a cable, wire or ballyhoo. Fish should not be pulled at more than twelve knots to achieve the best results. This lure can be used for both tuna or wahoo. You can also combine a downrigger and sea witch rigs to increase your chances for catching big whales.

For lures closer to the boat, a heavier weight headweight is recommended. A lighter weight is for lures further back. A 48-ounce weight is best for lures that are set up under two hundred feet, while 16-ounce weights should be used for lures that are set out four hundred feet or more. These lures are not designed to go very deep but will still get the lure in the water.

Wahoo fishermen use lures rigged with 480-pound cable and double non offset hooks. A wahoo can troll fast at 18 mph. This is faster than their average transit speed through two- to four-foot waves. Therefore, it is important to choose a heavy head weight and a big-game reel with high-quality drag.

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. The rig also comes with four twenty-foot shock leaders and two trolling weights. Each rig is capable of working with either thirty or fifty-pound tackle. This is an excellent wahoo rig for any fishing trip.

Additional to the Ballyhoo leader, wahoo trolling rigs need a light lead. The rigs made from this material are lightweight and very active. This lure can be used to entice even the most difficult strikers. Another option is to substitute a bullet-shaped nostril skirt bait for a No. 41/2 Drone spoon using a planer.

MagBay Plomero

MagBay stocks many products that allow you to catch wahoo. Their wahoo lures are available in different sizes and colors. The MagBay Plomero has a length of 16 inches and weighs in at 17 ounces. The Plomero comes with double hooks size 10/0 or 11/0 and a heavy-duty 280-pound cable. The Plomeritos measure 12 inches in length, weigh 8 ounces, and come with purple or red skirts.

The Iland Ilander is an eight-inch weedless, single-hook bait that weighs four ounces. There are three color options: blue-white and black-purple. A flash version is also available. The Plomerito is versatile and best when it's rolled at eight to 15 knots.

MagBay’s Desperado lure is a trolling lure for high speed. It has a one inch head weight and measures 7.5 ins. It is a reproduction of the Yo Zuri Bonita lure which is popular with wahoo. MagBay also uses through-wire connections and swivels to connect the hooks on the lure.

The Tacke Room Jag-A-Hoo weighs eight ounces and is available in red, purple, and orange colors. The lure's length is nine inches and it comes with an 8-ounce head weight. It is rigged with two offset 10/0 hooks. The lure should be far back, and under the water less than it is above. The lure is equipped with a 6-foot, 275-pound cable.
