The Big Lure for the Big Wahoo
Trophy wahoo are not intimidated by large presentations. They eat fast-moving prey and the bigger the meal, the more worth the effort. The Wahoo Whacker XL at 16 inches and 11 oz presents a substantial target that big wahoo commit to hard.
The resin head is practically indestructible. It maintains its shape and tracking at speeds up to 20 knots, which is faster than most crews ever need to troll. The double skirt configuration adds flash, profile, and hook protection. This is the top-shelf wahoo lure for crews targeting big fish in serious conditions.

Bulletproof Resin Head
The heavy resin head weighs 11 oz and is built to absorb high-speed strikes without cracking. It stays sub-surface where wahoo feed, even at speeds up to 20 knots.
16 Inch Profile
The large presentation targets trophy-class wahoo that prefer bigger meals. The 16 inch length mimics the size of the large baitfish that trigger feeding responses from the biggest fish.
20 Knot Speed Rating
Very few lures maintain proper action at 20 knots. The Wahoo Whacker XL was built for extreme high-speed trolling. The heavy head and aerodynamic shape keep it tracking true at speeds that would destroy lighter lures.
How to Troll the C&H Wahoo Whacker XL
1. Rig with heavy cable leader and double hook configuration
2. Deploy from a flat line, downrigger, or heavy trolling weight
3. Start at 12 knots and increase to 18-20 knots as needed
4. Run 50-150 feet behind the boat depending on conditions
5. Keep the lure sub-surface at all times
6. On a strike, clear lines immediately and fight the fish with heavy drag
