Field Notes

This is a heavy offshore trolling lure rigged with a skirted head, stiff rig, and cable leader for toothy pelagics like wahoo. It is designed to be trolled fast in the 6-18 knot range, especially around Cape Hatteras-style offshore water where wahoo are common. The cable helps prevent bite-offs and the skirt creates a strong baitfish profile at speed.

Pros

  • Heavy-duty rigging for wahoo and other toothy offshore fish
  • Cable leader helps reduce bite-offs
  • Works at high trolling speeds

Cons

  • Not a versatile casting lure
  • Heavy 16 oz setup requires appropriate trolling gear
  • Best use is limited to offshore trolling conditions
