Quick take

A torpedo-shaped offshore trolling lure rigged with a 6-foot 250 lb wire leader for wahoo and sharp-toothed game fish.

This red mixed-color torpedo trolling lure is made for offshore pelagic fish such as mackerel and wahoo. It is rigged on 250 lb wire cable with a 7/0 hook and has a copper head with detector holes. Anglers who troll for king mackerel and similar species can add the red finish to the spread.

Best for

  • Wahoo fishing on the continental shelf
  • Kingfish trolling offshore

Skip if

  • You fish inshore where lures are smaller
  • You need to change baits frequently; wire-rigged lures are permanent

Strengths

  • Copper head with detector holes creates realistic movement
  • 6-foot wire leader stands up to sharp wahoo teeth
  • 7/0 hook is sized for the wahoo's mouth and strike

Trade-offs

  • 7.5 in and 250 lb wire are too heavy for small boat trolling
  • Once rigged, they cannot be easily swapped for different presentations

About this type

A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.

Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
