In The Spread

Whether you are fishing live bait, lures or jigs, your leader system better be up to the task of handling the savagery of a wahoo strike and subsequent fight. I published a new article articulating the many nuances for whatever your fishing technique, so you can fish smarter.

Wahoo Leader Setup: Wire, Cable, Fluoro, Titanium Build wahoo leaders that hold up against serrated teeth. Wire, cable, fluorocarbon, and titanium specs for trolling, live bait, and jigging.

Most blue marlin strikes happen not because the fish was in the area, but because the spread was dialed in and the lures were rigged right.

Get one of those things wrong and you can troll through the best blue water on the planet without a bite.

We put together a comprehensive breakdown of everything that goes into a productive blue marlin setup:

🎣 How to rig stiff hook rigs vs. soft rigs and when each makes sense
🎣 Single hook vs. double hook rigs — the tradeoffs for hookup rate and fish survival
🎣 Hook sizing (9/0 to 12/0), leader selection, and why mono and fluorocarbon are not interchangeable at heavy diameters
🎣 How to build a five-lure spread with the right head shape in the right position
🎣 Trolling speed, clean water alleys, and wave position
🎣 Boat handling and safety during the fight
🎣 Conservation and release best practices

This is the stuff that makes the difference between raising fish and landing them.

Instruction from Kevin Hibbard, David Brackmann,Roddy Hays and other world-class blue marlin captains backs up every section.
