Key Points of Discussion:
- Fishing Line: Options include wire, monofilament, or braid.
- Swivels: Opt for ball bearing swivels that are robust, which typically means a heavier wire gauge.
- Lead Weight: How much lead is ideal for wahoo trolling? Heavier lures require less lead and vice versa.
- Shock Cord: This segment covers the purpose of the shock cord in-depth.
- Wahoo Rig: The heart of the presentation. The discussion revolves around the use of wire vs. cable.
- Hooks: Stainless steel is recommended. Advantages of single vs. double hook sets, and more.
- Lure Skirts: Does color matter? The choice of color can be influenced by what wahoos are eating and the prevailing light conditions.
- Wahoo Lures: With a plethora of ono fishing lures available, choosing the best can be daunting.
