A wing gives the lure the wide flat profile of a flying fish, and that extra movement gets bit. Here are the exact sizes I cut for every lure we run, the relief cut most people skip, and how I tie wings on so the knot disappears.
Most guides pick leader by species. I pick it by lure size: 300 pound test on all the big lures, 130 or 200 on the small ones depending on the season, and every leader cut to three arm spans.
Single or double hooks on your trolling lure? We run doubles in most of our lures to cover the whole bite, front and back, but a single is cleaner, simpler, and safer at the boat. Here is how we rig for meat fishing in Hawaii and how to pick the right setup.
