Shimano’s new Ledge Runner System may change the way we troll deep diving plugs for offshore pelagics. Traditionally, deep divers stay in the short corners to avoid tangling with other lures. With the Ledge Runner and its patented ADR, you can run up to four deep diving plugs in the spread while keeping things clean and controlled. The ADR lip design lets you quickly shift the tow point to adjust running depth from shallow to deep without tools or re rigging, so you can match your lure depth to the most productive zone. It also features the HCW, which helps the lure track straight and stay stable at higher trolling speeds when other plugs can become erratic.
Wahoo are among the fastest and most aggressive gamefish in the ocean. Known for their blistering runs, explosive surface strikes, and sharp teeth, they offer nonstop action for anglers who are ready for a challenge. These predators are more than just a thrill to catch. Wahoo are also prized for their flavor, making them one of the top fish both on the rod and on the plate. Sashimi, grilling, or searing—few fish offer this level of versatility and taste. In this blog, we break down the lures, techniques, and strategies that help anglers find success during a Wahoo bite. From long-range trips off Southern California to offshore hotspots around the world, the tips here are built to boost your odds.
Among the thousands of shapes and forms found in the ocean, the wahoo stands out at the top of the list for its ferocious design. Its unmistakable appearance is perfectly tailored for speed, with a pointed nose, slender elongated body, and oversized tail, all of which liken it to a missile. While speed is the most notable attribute, it’s what it’s equipped with within its jaw that makes this species a formidable opponent. Wahoo are equipped with some of the most amazing denture structures in the animal kingdom. Its teeth are pointed and have serrated sides, which the lower and upper jaw fit perfectly into for a precise cutting tool, much like a pair of scissors. All these factors and more are why targeting wahoo is a specialized approach to angling.
