Blue Water Candy Hoodini Wahoo Lure

Wahoo live in the fast lane, and the Hoodini is built to match. This 22 ounce jet head trolling lure runs true at speeds from 13 to 20 knots, right in the zone where wahoo feed. Five jet ports exit beneath the skirt, creating a massive bubble trail that does not collapse the skirt at high speed. Blue Water Candy pre-rigs every Hoodini on 6 feet of 480lb stainless cable with a double stiff rig hook, so it is ready to fish out of the package. Chrome and black head options pair with rubber and mylar skirts for different water conditions.

Better than advertised

I didn't really know what to expect as I usually get my sinkers at a beachshop. These were better. Clean and new looking as if just pored. Very satisfied with my purchase!

Good Stuff

Best UV Sea Witch hair available. Measure out the hair on scale prior to tying. That way it is balanced out. Capt. Ryan Van Fleet Good Karma Sportfishing-Florida Keys. Wahoo love this stuff.

Epic Fishing Co Deep Drop Weights - Hand-Poured Lead Sinker - Tilefish Grouper Snowy
David F.
Perfect measurements and weight

Used this differently than its intended design. I made raft oars counter balances from them. Previously used steel 4lb mounted on the exterior near the grips. These I was able to install into the shaft and at 5lbs was able to get the weight away from the grips. Both oars took about 30 minutes. Another bonus is the seller got the weights to me in 4 days vice 12 Amazon predicted.

great bonito bait

Used these jigs this week and crushed the bonito on the east coast. This is a good bait to mimic the small bait fish in our area. Also great pack for a 2 pack. I bought a few different colors.

Clarkspoon Shad Jigs - 2 Pack Bucktail Jig - King Mackerel Bluefish Inshore Fishing
Brad B.
Awesome bait for Hybrid striped Bass.

Purchased these and first trip out boated several very nice Hybrids. The fish were in 5-7lb range. The bait falls fast and the hooks are very sharp for solid hook ups. Glad I had an extra one because I gave it to my buddy in the boat and he immediately hooked up. These baits worked so well, I ordered several more. I also referred several of my friends to the site to order this bait.

Built for the Speed Wahoo Demand

Most trolling lures wash out above 10 knots. The skirts collapse, the action dies, and you are pulling a lifeless hunk of plastic through the water. Wahoo do not eat at 8 knots. They eat at 15.

The Hoodini's 5-jet design keeps the lure smoking at high speed without losing its action. The jets exit below the skirt, pushing air through the body to maintain the skirt profile even at 20 knots. The 22 ounce weight holds the lure in the water column without a trolling sinker. And the 480lb stainless cable rig means wahoo teeth do not bite you off on the strike. At $104.99 pre-rigged and ready to fish, this is a serious wahoo lure for serious speed trollers.

5-Jet High Speed Head

Five jet ports channel water and air beneath the skirt, creating a smoke trail that attracts wahoo from distance. Unlike standard jet heads that lose action above 12 knots, the Hoodini's design maintains a full bubble trail and upright skirt at speeds up to 20 knots. The lure stays in the strike zone at wahoo speed.

Pre-Rigged Cable Leader

Every Hoodini ships rigged on 6 feet of 480lb stainless cable with a double stiff rig hook. The cable prevents bite-offs from wahoo teeth. The double hook setup increases your hook-up ratio on fish that strike from behind. Open the package, clip it to your snap swivel, and deploy.

Rubber and Mylar Skirt Options

Chrome with red rubber and chrome with purple rubber are the go-to options for most wahoo conditions. The black with orange mylar skirt offers a different flash profile for dirty water or overcast days. Rubber skirts hold their shape at high speed. Mylar adds extra flash on the retrieve.

How to Fish the Hoodini for Wahoo

1. Attach the pre-rigged cable leader to your main line using a heavy snap swivel or crimp connection

2. Deploy from a flat line or short rigger position

3. Let out 50-100 feet of line depending on spread position and boat wake

4. Troll at 13-20 knots in areas known for wahoo (ledges, FADs, current edges)

5. When a wahoo strikes, the cable rig prevents bite-off. Keep the drag set firm

6. Inspect the cable and hooks after each fish for kinks or straightened hooks

How fast should I troll the Hoodini? +
13 to 20 knots. The 5-jet design maintains a full smoke trail and upright skirt across this range. Most wahoo bites happen at 14-17 knots. Our trolling speed chart has detailed speed recommendations by species and lure type.
Do I need to add a trolling weight? +
No. The 22 ounce head weight keeps the Hoodini in the water column at high speed without additional weight. It tracks straight and does not skip at speed. Read our trolling spread guide for positioning tips.
Why does it come with a cable rig? +
Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth that cut through monofilament and fluorocarbon instantly. The 480lb stainless cable prevents bite-offs. Without cable, you lose the lure on the first strike. Our wahoo guide covers rigging details.
Will this catch other species? +
Primarily designed for wahoo, but tuna and mahi will also hit the Hoodini at speed. The large profile and smoke trail attract any pelagic species in the area. For a more versatile trolling spread, browse our full trolling lure selection guide.
What is the double stiff rig hook? +
Two stiff hooks rigged in tandem increase the chance of a solid hookset on fish that strike from behind. Wahoo often hit the tail of a lure first. The trailing hook catches these rear strikes. See our wahoo fishing tips for more on hook configuration.
Which color should I choose? +
Chrome with red rubber is the most popular all-around wahoo color. Chrome with purple rubber works well in deeper water or low light. Black with orange mylar adds flash for dirty water. When wahoo are feeding aggressively, any color produces. Our lure guide covers color selection strategy.
Where should I position this in my spread? +
Run the Hoodini on a flat line or short rigger position, 50-100 feet back. Wahoo lures work best close to the boat wake where the turbulence adds to the lure's action. Our spread setup guide covers position strategy for high speed trolling.
