Trolling with Ballyhoo
Here are three different methods for trolling ballyhoo.
The top right of the picture shows a ballyhoo with a 1/0 small hook in the top of the mouth. A wire is then attached with a treble hook halfway back on the bait. You should be trolling slowly with this type of bait or drifting.
The second ballyhoo is primarily for wahoo. This is a weighted system and you should be traveling at least 10 knots.
The third rig is used to create a lot of commotion on the surface to attract the big fish.
