Same Rattle, Smaller Package
The Hoo Knocker Jr. covers the scenario where wahoo want a smaller meal. Same machined brass, same rattle ring vibration system, just dialed down in size. Run it alongside the full-size Hoo Knocker to offer wahoo a size choice in your spread.
The lighter weight also makes the Jr. useful on lighter tackle setups and smaller boats where the full-size Hoo Knocker might be too much. The brass is still heavy enough to stay sub-surface at high trolling speeds, and the rattle rings still create the sound and vibration that trigger strikes.
The lighter weight also makes the Jr. useful on lighter tackle setups and smaller boats where the full-size Hoo Knocker might be too much. The brass is still heavy enough to stay sub-surface at high trolling speeds, and the rattle rings still create the sound and vibration that trigger strikes.
Compact Rattle Ring Design
Same rattle ring technology as the full-size Hoo Knocker in a smaller form factor. The rings create noise and vibration that wahoo detect from a distance, even in a compact profile.
Lighter Machined Brass
The smaller size reduces weight while maintaining the sub-surface tracking that wahoo lures need. Easier to deploy on lighter tackle without sacrificing the depth and action that produce strikes.
Spread Versatility
Run the Jr. alongside the full-size Hoo Knocker for a multi-size wahoo spread. Wahoo often key on specific bait sizes, and having both options available increases your odds.
How to Troll the Hoo Knocker Jr.
1. Rig with cable leader and quality hook setup
2. Deploy at 10-16 knots from a rigger or flat line
3. Let out 50-100 feet behind the boat
4. The rattle rings activate at trolling speed
5. Run alongside a full-size Hoo Knocker for size variety
6. After a strike, inspect cable and re-deploy quickly

How is this different from the full-size Hoo Knocker? +
Same machined brass and rattle ring system in a smaller package. The full-size Hoo Knocker at $139.99 is heavier and larger. Run both for size variety in your spread.
Is $119.99 justified for a wahoo lure? +
Machined brass is indestructible and the rattle rings produce fish consistently. This is a lifetime lure. For a budget wahoo option, check the Jag-A-Hoo at $35.99.
What speed range for this lure? +
High speed trolling at 10-16 knots for maximum ring activation. Read our wahoo guide.
Can I use this on lighter tackle? +
Yes. The smaller size makes it more appropriate for lighter conventional setups than the full-size Hoo Knocker. Still use cable or wire leader though.
Does it need cable leader? +
Always use wire or cable for wahoo. Their teeth slice everything else. Check our leader guide.
What else should be in my wahoo spread? +
Mix the Jr. with a full-size Hoo Knocker, a Hiz-Azz, and a C&H Wahoo Whacker for a diverse wahoo spread. Different attraction methods increase your odds.
