Blue Water Candy Hoo Knocker High Speed Wahoo Lure
The Blue Water Candy Hoo Knocker is a premium machined brass wahoo lure with rattle rings that vibrate and create noise at trolling speed. Wahoo detect the vibration through their lateral line and the noise through their inner ear, triggering aggressive strikes. The heavy brass head stays sub-surface at high speed. $139.99. For a smaller version, see the Hoo Knocker Jr. at $119.99. Also check the Hiz-Azz and Jag-A-Hoo.
- Machined brass head with rattle rings
- Rings create vibration and noise at speed
- Heavy brass stays in the wahoo zone
- Premium construction for serious wahoo anglers
- Also available in Jr. size
Sound, Vibration, and Brass That Wahoo Cannot Resist
The Hoo Knocker adds a dimension that most wahoo lures miss: sound. The machined brass rings on the head vibrate and rattle at trolling speed, creating a noise profile that wahoo detect from a distance. This lure attacks multiple senses simultaneously: sight, sound, and vibration.
The machined brass body is precision-made and indestructible. It stays deep at high speed, putting the vibration and noise exactly where wahoo hunt. At $139.99, this is a premium investment, but captains who fish wahoo tournaments will tell you the Hoo Knocker pays for itself.

Rattle Ring System
Brass rings on the head vibrate and rattle as water flows over them at trolling speed. This creates noise that wahoo detect through their inner ear, adding a sound trigger to the visual presentation.
Machined Brass Construction
Precision machined from solid brass. The heavy body stays sub-surface where wahoo feed and withstands the violence of high-speed wahoo strikes without damage.
Multi-Sense Attraction
Sound from the rattles, vibration from the rings, visual flash from the brass finish, and the bubble trail from the head design. Four attraction triggers working simultaneously.
How to Troll the Hoo Knocker
1. Rig with heavy cable leader and double hook setup
2. Deploy at 10-16 knots for maximum rattle ring activation
3. Position on flat line or rigger for sub-surface tracking
4. Listen for the distinctive rattle at boat speed
5. The heavy brass head stays deep without extra weight
6. On a strike, the wahoo will typically hook itself at speed

What makes the Hoo Knocker different from other wahoo lures? +
The rattle ring system creates sound and vibration that most wahoo lures lack. Wahoo have excellent hearing and lateral line sensitivity. The Hoo Knocker attacks both senses. Read our wahoo guide.
What is the difference between the Hoo Knocker and Jr. version? +
The Hoo Knocker Jr. at $119.99 is slightly smaller and lighter. Same rattle ring concept in a more compact package. Run both in your spread.
Is $139.99 worth it for a wahoo lure? +
For serious wahoo anglers, yes. The machined brass is indestructible and the rattle ring system produces fish when other lures get ignored. One wahoo in a tournament can pay for several Hoo Knockers.
How does this compare to the Hiz-Azz? +
The Hiz-Azz uses 5 jet ports for bubble trail attraction. The Hoo Knocker uses rattle rings for sound. Both are premium machined brass. Different methods of getting wahoo to strike. Run both.
What leader do I need? +
Cable or wire leader is mandatory for wahoo. 275+ lb cable with crimps and quality hooks. See our leader guide.
Can I troll this at slow speeds too? +
The Hoo Knocker works best at higher speeds where the rings create maximum vibration and noise. For slow trolling, the Hiz-Azz with its jet system is a better choice.
