John F's wahoo rig
« on: November 05, 2011, 04:12:12 PM »
Rigged this Captain Andy's islander for trolling fast targeting wahoo and maybe a sailfish....

What I used:

- 1 x blue/white islander
- 2 x red squids
- 2 x ball sinkers
- 1 x bead
- Double hook rig 180o

In order from back to front:

180o Double hook rig - bead - 2 ball sinkers - 2 squids - Islander

Hoping to pull this at 12-15 knots!

Hmmm John, that look like art.
The double hook is a sure thing, while I.M.O the red squids going to trigger the bite.
Some adequite weight for dept....   I think its a winner.

When you going to test it?
