Skip the Bait, Catch the Wahoo
Wahoo fishing with natural bait means bait prep, cooler space, and constant re-rigging after each strike or miss. The Jag-A-Hoo eliminates all of that. This lure fishes ready out of the package on 275 lb cable that wahoo teeth cannot cut through.
The brass spinner blade creates vibration that wahoo detect through their lateral line. The Mylar flash catches light and triggers the visual strike response. At 8-12 knots, this lure runs true without washing out. After a hookup, inspect the cable, reset, and deploy. No bait prep, no wasted time.

275 lb Cable Leader
Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth that slice through monofilament and fluorocarbon instantly. The 275 lb cable leader is bite-proof. The solid ring connection point makes rigging to your snap swivel simple.
Brass Spinner Blade
The spinner blade rotates at trolling speed, creating vibration and flash that wahoo detect from a distance. This is the same attraction principle used in top-tier wahoo lures costing much more.
High Speed Trolling
Troll at 8-12 knots, which is the prime speed range for wahoo. The Jag-A-Hoo tracks true at these speeds without spinning out or riding on the surface. You can also cast it to wahoo busting bait on the surface.
How to Troll the Blue Water Candy Jag-A-Hoo
1. Attach the solid ring to your snap swivel or main line
2. Deploy at 8-12 knots from a flat line or rigger position
3. Let out 50-100 feet of line behind the boat
4. The spinner blade activates at trolling speed
5. On a strike, clear other lines and fight the wahoo
6. Inspect the cable leader after each fish for kinks or damage
