Longin's Wakey Boo 137 is the standard version of the Wakey Boo, a wake bait designed to deliver outstanding performance even at extremely slow retrieve speeds. What sets the Wakey Boo series apart is its distinctive high-buoyancy "fat" body, which generates exceptional water displacement, ensuring a natural and highly visible swimming action even at very slow retrieves, a unique feature in its class. During an ultra-slow retrieve, the Wakey Boo 112 glides just below the surface with a smooth, seductive rolling motion; as retrieve speed increases, its action evolves with lateral oscillations (wobbling) and, at higher speeds, turns into a wide and powerful wide wobbling that provokes strikes from even the most aggressive predators. Thanks to its precisely engineered internal weight system, the moving tungsten weights produce a deep, dull "gotogoto" sound, similar to a low-frequency rattle, that attracts fish from long distances. This combination of acoustic attraction and dynamic movement makes the Wakey Boo 112 effective in all situations, from shallow flats to deeper waters.
How to use
The Wakey Boo 112 performs best with a medium-slow straight retrieve, running just below the surface. In this mode, its smooth rolling motion creates irresistible flashes that perfectly mimic a wounded baitfish. Short, quick reel accelerations make the lure dart unpredictably from side to side in a "warp" action, a sudden movement that can trigger strikes even from the most inactive fish. This technique works especially well for seabass that follow without striking, or in clear waters, where a sudden change in pace can make all the difference.
Practical tips
- Always maintain constant contact with the lure, feeling its vibrations through the rod helps you adjust retrieve speed according to the current;
- In calm water or when fish are wary, use a slow and steady retrieve;
- With side wind or strong current, increase speed to enhance both visual and sound appeal;
- Use a pendulum cast to maximize distance and accuracy, avoiding excessive load on the rod tip, especially if it's a soft rod.
