Why We Bundled This
The high-speed wahoo trolling guide is blunt about
this: skipping wire leader is one of the two things that kills a wahoo rig, and it’s the one crews
actually skip most often because it’s one extra piece to rig. This kit removes that excuse.
Braid and fluoro get you the spread. Power Pro braid to a
fluorocarbon wind-on leader is the same backbone as every other
trolling rig on this site: zero-stretch feel with an abrasion-resistant, low-visibility leader.
Wire is the piece that’s actually mandatory here, not optional. AFW’s Tooth Proof
single-strand wire goes ahead of the hook, full stop. A wahoo’s teeth
go through 200lb fluoro on the strike. Wire is the only thing standing between a hookup and a
bite-off.
The gaff closes it out. A fixed gaff is the everyday tool for the wahoo,
mahi, and school tuna this rig is built to actually land.
