Fishing For Barracuda


Barracuda is one of the fastest swimmer, just like wahoo. It's not as easy as people think to land on a large barracuda. This aggressive carnivorous fish frequently attacks flashing objects that appear as prospective prey. So, use a lure with flashing colours.

For trolling, one of the most effective lure is Rapala Countdown Magnum 18 and make it runs about 20-30ft behind the boat. Try to add 2ft-3ft of 40lb wire trace before the lure to prevent biten off.

If by casting, you can use Rapala X-Rap Saltwater 10, because it suits for almost every kind of saltwater predators. Also, extra wire trace before the lure will be usefull. Make a long cast for better results.

For the line, just make sure it strong enough to maintaince the power from the fish, because barracudas are rarely leader shy. Just remember to add a wire trace between the lure and  leader.
