The Original High Speed Wahoo Slayer

Wahoo eat fast-moving prey. Standard trolling speeds of 5-8 knots do not excite them the way 12-16 knots does. The C&H Wahoo Whacker was built for this high-speed game. The 6 oz bullet head stays sub-surface and tracks straight at speeds that would send lesser lures spinning.

The double skirt setup adds both durability and visual profile. The outer skirt provides flash and color while the inner skirt protects the hooks and adds a secondary movement pattern. Run this on a downrigger for precise depth control or behind a heavy trolling weight on a flat line. At $29.99, the Wahoo Whacker has been putting wahoo in the boat for decades.

6 oz Bullet Head

The heavy bullet-shaped head is the secret to high-speed stability. It stays sub-surface where wahoo feed and does not wash out or spin at speeds up to 16 knots. The weight also helps the lure punch through the surface wake.

Double Skirted

Two layers of durable, vibrant skirts create more profile and flash than single-skirted lures. The double layer also protects the hooks from damage during high-speed strikes.

16 Knot Speed Rating

Few trolling lures can maintain proper action at 16 knots. The Wahoo Whacker was specifically engineered for this speed range. Run it alongside other high-speed lures for a dedicated wahoo spread.

How to Troll the C&H Wahoo Whacker

1. Rig with a cable or wire leader hookset

2. Attach to your main line via snap swivel or wind-on leader

3. Deploy at 10-16 knots behind a downrigger or trolling weight

4. Let out 50-100 feet of line depending on spread position

5. Keep the lure sub-surface for best wahoo attraction

6. On a strike, clear lines quickly as wahoo run fast

What speed should I troll for wahoo? +
10-16 knots is the sweet spot for wahoo. The Wahoo Whacker handles the full range. Read our wahoo guide for speed and spread recommendations.
What is the difference between this and the XL version? +
This Wahoo Whacker is 11.5 inches and 6 oz. The Wahoo Whacker XL is 16 inches and 11 oz for targeting trophy-class wahoo at even higher speeds up to 20 knots.
Do I need a wire leader? +
For wahoo, always use a wire or cable leader. Wahoo teeth will cut through monofilament and fluorocarbon instantly. Check our leader guide.
Should I use a downrigger or trolling weight? +
Either works. Downriggers give you precise depth control. A heavy trolling weight (8-16 oz) keeps it simple. Both get the lure in the wahoo strike zone below the surface.
What hookset do you recommend? +
A small double cable hookset is our recommendation for wahoo lures. Cable resists wahoo teeth and a double hook improves hookup ratio on fast strikes.
What color works best for wahoo? +
Blue/white and black/purple are the all-time top producers. Black/red is a strong low-light option. Wahoo respond more to speed and action than color, so focus on getting the speed right first.
