Mozz, do you rig with single hooks or doubles? Reason i ask is that i got a lot of wahoo just biting the tail off and miss the hook. I notice that your hooks are only about half way back in the bait. If you don't mind sharing, can you show or explain how you tie up the bait to the wire where the wire come out of the ballyhoo's mouth.

I haven't got any pics of my rigging at the moment and won't be rigging for wahoo for a couple more weeks. We had those baits above rigged with massive hooks as we were fishing in a very sharky area with 80w's at max drag. Normally I use a much lighter hook.

This video by Tommy from LMR Tackle is very good. He rigs baits for a huge amount of boats on the east coast and Bahamas.
He also lets me drink beer in the shopClap

possibly something to do with the right type of bait CA, most people who use them seam to like flying fish and we tend to only have huge ones...

We get heaps of little flying fish the size of dragonflies too Lethal. 
This one flew in to my mate's boat a couple of weeks ago near the Mokes.
