Wahoo Trolling Lures and Tackle Q&A

Question 1

how do you put new skirts on a fatboy head?

Asked 3 ´years ago | Fatboy Lead Medium 9" Trolling Lure

Answer:

The Fatboy lure skirts are attached and re-skirted the same as a standard trolling lure replacement skirt. CLICK HERE to watch a tutorial. The replacement skirt size for the Fatboy trolling lure is an OC30 for both the inner and the outer.

Question 2

Do you run in line lead on the SR71? Or is it heavy enough without lead? trolling 18-20kt

Asked 4 ´years ago | SR71 Stainless Extra Large 16" Trolling Lure

Answer:

The SR71 weighs in at a solid 32oz. We recommend using it as a surface lure. The concave and jets are designed to occasionally breach the surface, then re-enter and expel its bubble trail. The faster you go (especially in that 20knt range) you will need to put the lure further back in the spread or start to add lead and shock leader as needed.

Question 3

How deep does this typically run?

Asked 3 ´years ago | Cable-Rigged Fatboy Lead Medium 9" Trolling Lure

Answer:

The depth depends on how fast you are trolling the lure and the line angle (riggers or flat lines) and the amount of line out. With that being said, a standard depth is approx 6 -12" at normal speeds. However, if you are wanting to run the lure subsurface, you can add a trolling lead and shock leader setup. https://www.fathomoffshore.com/collec...

Question 4

Do you run these with trolling weights?

Asked 3 ´years ago | Cable-Rigged Fatboy Lead Medium 9" Trolling Lure

Answer:

The Fatboy trolling lure is very versatile. It can be run on the surface, or sub surface with a trolling lead and shock leader setup. To view both Wahoo leads and shock leaders click the link: https://www.fathomoffshore.com/collec...

Question 5

are you saying that this only comes rigged with a single hook set? wouldnt a double hook set be better?

Asked 3 ´years ago | Hollow Point Stainless Extra Large 16" Trolling Lure

Answer:

Currently the Hollow Point is offered with a single hook-set, however we can easily rig it on a double hook-set if you prefer. Simply e-mail us at Info@fathomoffshore.com and we can take care of it no problem.

Question 6

This one is better to use it with bait or without bait?

Asked 2 ´years ago | Cable-Rigged Fatboy Lead Medium 9" Trolling Lure

Answer:

We recommend the Fatboy trolling lure be fished as is without any added dead bait or ballyhoo. Most of our pre-rigged trolling lures are designed to be pulled lure only unless otherwise specified.

Question 7

Where is the best spot to pull this game changer when trolling

Asked 2 ´years ago | Blackfin Tuna Game Changer Medium 10" Trolling Lure

Answer:

Due to the concave face, we like to pull the Game Changer trolling lure (any size) in the short position. The line angle of a short rigger creates the perfect action for this lure head shape.

Question 8

max trolling speed?

Asked 1 ´year ago | Cable-Rigged Fatboy Lead Medium 9" Trolling Lure

Answer:

The Fatboy trolling lure can be pulled up to +20knts with the help of a trolling lead and shock leader. However, without additional weight 10-12knts is max trolling speed depending on how far back the lure is.
