FAQ - Wahoo Trolling Lures

1. What are the best lures for high speed wahoo trolling?

Weighted heads and skirted lures are the go to. The Jagahoo wahoo kit covers the spread with proven colors and head shapes.

2. What trolling speed should I run for wahoo?

Most high speed wahoo spreads run 12 to 15 knots. If you are pulling cedar plugs or spoons, 8 to 10 knots keeps them tracking true.

3. Do I need wire leaders for wahoo?

Yes. Wahoo will cut mono fast. Use a short wahoo shock leader ahead of the lure.

4. Sea witch or bullet head for wahoo?

Both work. A rigged sea witch is deadly on ballyhoo, while a weighted head excels at speed and rough water.

5. Do cedar plugs catch wahoo?

Yes. The pre rigged cedar plug is simple and produces well at 6 to 9 knots.

6. What colors work best for wahoo?

Purple and black are classic, and blue and white work in clear water. Run at least one dark color and one bright color in the spread.

How to Choose Wahoo Lures

Speed is everything. Wahoo are built for fast eats. A high speed spread at 12 to 15 knots with weighted heads gets reaction bites. Start with the Jagahoo kit to cover your main lanes.

Protect your leader. Wahoo will cut mono. Always run a short shock leader or wire section ahead of the lure. Keep it short to reduce drag and keep the head working right.

Mix lure styles. Run a skirted head, a rigged sea witch, and a spoon or plug in the same spread. Cedar plugs like the Ahi cedar plug are easy producers at 6 to 9 knots when fish are shy of the prop wash.

Keep the colors simple. Purple and black in the long lane, blue and white in the short, and one wild color as a test. If one gets bit twice, rotate the rest to match. For a full spread layout, see our trolling spread guide.
