Savage Plomerito Wahoo Lure

Description

The Savage Plomerito daisy chain is not a lure you troll slowly. It is a high-speed wahoo rig: three jet teasers running ahead of a torpedo-style Plomero, pulled at 8 to 15 knots, leaving a trail of cavitation a wahoo cannot ignore.

The Savage Plomerito daisy chain works on speed, not colour

Wahoo are among the fastest fish in the ocean and they hunt by ambush. Trolled slowly, a lure looks like something they can study. Pulled at 15 knots, it looks like prey escaping, and the strike is a reflex rather than a decision.

The problem with high-speed trolling is that most lures blow out and skip on the surface. The Savage Plomerito daisy chain does not. The stainless steel head on the Plomero solves that: its weight pushes the jets deep and holds the whole chain in the water where the fish are.

Features

Specifications

Choosing a colour for your Savage Plomerito daisy chain

There are two families here and they suit different water.

Green, red and pink/purple are the everyday choices. Darker, higher-contrast patterns that show up in stained water and on overcast days, and the more affordable of the two tiers.

Dorado, blue/green, rainbow, orange and oil spill are the natural and flash patterns. Dorado imitates the baitfish wahoo already hunt; oil spill and rainbow throw broken colour that reads as a school rather than a single fish. These come into their own in clear blue water and bright sun.

If you fish clear offshore water, start with dorado. If your water is green or the sky is grey, start with red.

Where the Savage Plomerito daisy chain fits

High-speed trolling offshore for wahoo, run on heavy tackle with wire leader — wahoo will cut mono. It works as a standalone rig or as the fast lure in a mixed spread while other lines run slower baits.

Care and maintenance

Rinse in fresh water after every trip, paying attention to the jet heads where salt collects inside the ports. Dry fully before storing so the stainless does not sit wet against skirt material. Check the rigging and the crimps before each trip; at 15 knots a failure is instant. Store the chain hung rather than coiled tight, so the skirts keep their shape.

Frequently asked questions

How fast should I troll the Savage Plomerito daisy chain?
Between 8 and 15 knots. This is a high-speed rig; trolled slowly it will not produce the cavitation that makes it work.

What does a Savage Plomerito daisy chain add over a single lure?
Three jet teasers run ahead of the Plomero, so the whole rig reads as a small group of fleeing baitfish rather than one.

Why is the head stainless steel?
Weight. It drives the jets down and keeps the chain from blowing out of the water at speed.

Which colour catches most?
Dorado in clear blue water, red or green in stained water and low light. Neither is wrong.

What leader do I need?
Wire, for wahoo. Fluorocarbon will be cut. We carry big game hooks and leader, and NOAA Fisheries covers handling for fish you intend to release.
