We've really tried hard to find the best selection of lures on the market for wahoo. While many styles of lure will get hammered by a 'hoo, over the years a trend has developed that's the focus of this particular page.  Tossing Wahoo Bombs has turned into a very productive Long Range fishing trip mainstay and pre-occupation.  There's nothing more fun than casting out a humk of lure, and hooking up with a 50# plus bullet with teeth.  Tossing bombs on a 6470 with a Newell 533 is something just about every long range style fisherman does.  Here are the best specialty lures on the market, ones that have proven their worth in the mouths of fish.  

CharkBait's Slash
- Cast and Rip Bait

Our Slash jig can be fished a couple ways, for great effect. For our long range fishermen, it's a GREAT wahoo lure. For deepwater enthusiasts it's a deep water jig with excellent action on the drop and wind. Having said that, the thing casts great and we rig it properly with a higher quality Mustad hook and a ball bearing swivel (ours even points the right way...) attached with welded rings. Our colors and finish are top quality. While it will bring in wahoo when they are around, don't be afraid to jig it for tuna and yellowtail. If your fishing trip to Alijos shifts gears and moves to Cedros fine, you've got the right lure, if instead you hit the banks for rockfish, you've still got an effective lure on your hands. One lure, fits a few applications, and a few different styles of fishing.

 

Our slash bait is available in three sizes at present
 80 gm, 2.8 oz, 5"
100 gm, 3.5 oz, 5 1/2"
150 gm, 5.29 oz, 6 1/2"

Catchy Wahoo Bombs!

Catchy Tackle has introduced an excellent wahoo bomb! Their new bomb weighs in at 4 ounces and comes rigged on wire cable  with a single hook (the preference for dealing with wahoo). The bombs also have a nice willow leaf spinner blade attached to a swivel on the hook for added attraction, and a Keeper above the jig to keep it from sliding up the line too far from the hook (a very good idea since the lure will tend to ride up the line after a cast as you let it descend a bit prior to ripping it back to the boat.

 

There are three variations to the lures. The standard chrome head version features a double skirt of flashy material. The Gold head and the Black Chrome head also feature an internal Newell Skirt. The Newell skirts are heavier, thicker, more durable and make the lure have a fuller presence when quickly retrieved. These bombs are going to be effective, and quite popular. Catchy did their homework prior to manufacture. The heads are typical Catchy quality, meaning EXCELLENT and DURABLE. Unlike the offshore produced stuff, these are well made and precision manufactured. The chrome platting is all much better and will prove much more durable. The Gold and Black Chrome heads are flawless and will prove well worth the money.

Catchy Tackle Spinner Bombs

Catchy Tackle burst onto the sportfishing scene with a unique spinner jet head that proved exceptionally productive for many species of fish.  Their Spinner Bombs have proven tops in their class, without question.  For the 'hoo, Catchy offers two sizes of lures, both with bright reflective skirts, which can be used casting or trolling.  Their best use is as a casting bomb, I think.  If you're going long range, stick a few of these in your tackle bag.  From $19-20, it's a good value, and a uniquely productive lure.  Also, if you are targeting the big hoo, you might also consider using their larger marlin size lures.  The 16 and 26 oz. product rigged appropriately, is proving it's worth on the long range boats visiting points south.  These lures are all unrigged, but we can rig them up to your specifications (see info below). (enter quantity below)

PLEASE VISIT THE CATCHY TACKLE PAGE FOR ADDITIONAL OFFERINGS.  THEY'VE GOT SOME MORE GREAT TROLLING LURES FOR WAHOO, TUNA AND MARLIN.

Big Game, Very Big Game - Marlin, BIG Wahoo...

The biggest Catchy's offer a unique spinner design, they also offer an excellent premium skirt material too.  These big game spinner blade lures feature Newell Skirts, a heavier material for longer lived use when inhaled and chomped by the big boys. The largest 16 ounce lures from the Spinner Jet series are also designed for big gamefish, and use first rate Sevenstrand skirts. But, these guys are something even more extreme as you can see.  The biggest Magnums are large, at a good 26 ounces. The picture shows two different designs, a concave head on the three left ones, a bullet head on the lure to the right.  The new head option (concave slant) is made for slower trolling while the bullet head lives on speed.  It will prove an effective lure from 6 up to 12 knots.  By contrast the slant is better suited to 3-5 knots.  In that application the slant/concave head magnums will swing, dive, pop up, do all sorts of things to draw attention to themselves.  But, they should not be used at the faster speed the bullet head is intended.  Both lures produce a big bubble trail, churning up the water with their blades.  They work great as a teaser, or can be rigged for direct strikes for the big boys.  It's a unique product, with excellent fishability, effective on a wide variety of gamefish. @$54.95

New for 2004 Catchy has introduced several new WAHOO skirts for their very popular and successful Magnum 26's.  We're very pleased to be the first dealer to introduce these exciting new products to anglers worldwide.  The new lures feature both an inner Newell skirts and Mylar material on the outside for an even better presentation to hungry, aggressive and tasty 'hoo.  There's no more productive lure on the market for wahoo, that's a certainty.  Between the spinner blade churning up the water, the super reflective skirt material drawing serious attention from sight oriented predators, there's just not another lure on the market that can duplicate what these things will do for you.  Troll 'em quickly for the strike you've been hoping for, and get set for action!  The new lures run $54.99, and they're worth every penny.

Strike Master Bombs

The pictures just don't do these lures justice, with their super flashy tinsel, hammered leaf spinner, it's one attention getting lure, and a really great value.  And, that's just what the wahoo like!  These lures are appropriately rigged for their quarry, with wire.   The hook is rigged close to the heavy head on it's own swivel - good idea for wahoo.   The Wahoo Bomb is another well planned product, from a very innovative manufacturer.  This lure works effectively trolled or cast. These are not some cheap import, they're made right here in California.  They are not quite as well built as either the Catchy or Burns Bombs, but they are a well constructed inexpensive alternative.  They'll get bit.  These lures are an excellent value at only $8.99 - rigged

Braid Wahoo Bombs!

There are a lot of very effective wahoo bombs on the market, Catchy, Burns, Strike Master, and of course Braid. All can be quite effective and a lot of fun to fish. What makes the Braid 540 Bomb unique is it's shape and design. The lure is designed to improve hook-ups. This lure has a counter bored head which puts the hook closer to the head of the lure - where a Wahoo typically nails it's prey. We sell the lures rigged, with low visibility multi-strand wire, a nice spinner-blade tailer. They are well rigged, and they have an attention getting skirt design with mylar, tinsel and a thicker holographic overskirt. Braid's 540 Bomb is also a bit heavier than the typical wahoo bomb, coming in at six ounces. So, they'll drop fast, cast far, and be quite effective fishing the slide after a trolling rig hook-up. The lures are proven, and well worth having in the tackle box.

Ballyhood's Wahoo Express
ballywahooX.jpg (64260 bytes)This one's not a casting bomb unless you're a direct descendent of Conan the Barbarian.  It's weighty, designed for trolling rather than casting.  But, it warrants placement here on the 'hoo page due to both it's design and tremendous success.  This winner was influenced by the knowledgeable contributions of wahoo expert Dr. Ray Waldner of West Palm Beach, Florida and Twig Tolle, Jr., Sportfishing Magazine. The Wahoo Express high speed sub-surface lure weighs in a 14 ounces and 9" overall length and has a high polished 1" diameter bullet head with large goggle eyes. The skirts are made of double mylar in several excellent patterns. The Express comes expertly rigged with stainless steel wire, 9/0 stainless steel Mustad 95160 hook, black Sampo swivel, plus a #3-1/2 hamered nickel willow leaf spinner blade.

Key Benefits: trolls deep and fast up to 10 knots, and has lots of flash. Appropriately sized to attract the big ones. Order 'em below...

New Wahoo Angler's Pack

ballywahookit.jpg (95546 bytes)Here's a very nice package of four wahoo lures anyone targeting these toothy critters will appreciate.  Our Ballyhood Wahoo pack gives you four effective lures in a nice lure wrap.  You get two lures for use as bombs or on the troll, and two dedicated trollers - a wahoo cedar plug, and a heavy wahoo-jet head lure.  The 'hoo jet alone is worth $30, figure the lure case at another $12-15 and you can see just how nice a value this is we're offering...at only $89.95!  

ballyhoodwahookit2.jpg (114800 bytes)Oh, I almost forgot, the lures are all pre-rigged with quality hooks (three of which are stainless steel) and appropriate 200# stainless steel 49 strand leader.  Three of the lures have spinner blades attached to the hook as well.
