2024, Ballyhoo Bait Rigs for Slow Trolling Wahoo: Mike Dupree
10:58 · Mike DupreeWire and fluorocarbon leader choices for slow-trolling ballyhoo affect wahoo hookup rates through preventing teeth cuts versus reduced visibility triggering selective fish. Gore Offshore rig systems simplify ballyhoo preparation through pre-made components, requiring proper threading, hook positioning, and securing methods maintaining natural profiles and swimming action throughout trolling sessions at reduced speeds.
