    Wacky Rigging

    Do you only use the 'o' ring when fishing a wacky rig weightless or do you use it with the weighted wacky jigs as well? Thanks.

    you can use the o ring with weightless rigs as well I use it when i put weighted nails into the worm itself If I am fishing deeper water. the weighted nails will give the wacky worm a different look. You can also try and put one weighted nail into one side of the bait and not the other. This will also give a different action to the lure. I dont use the o rings when fishing with zappu wacky heads, or the flea flicker heads. I usually just put the hook through the middle of the worm itself.

    If you have never done it you need to start!!! We fished a tourney Saturday and caught about 35 fish between the two of us on wacky rigged dingers. I never did it much myself til I started fishing with my partner now. Im sold on the idea.

    Kicker Fish makes a wacky rig worm that uses a regular worm hooks. It comes in all the popular colors. I use an o ring and put the hook into the Senko worm a little to keep it from getting hung up. I use it around docks on Lake Lanier right about now. Worked super in Guntersville a couple of weeks ago, but of course, everything worked in Guntersville a couple of weeks ago.

    With the price of senko's so high, you usually only get one fish maybe two without the o-ring when wacky rigged. With them I can stretch it out and make it last maybe 5.

    Instead of the o ring, I take a tube (similar in color to the senko I'm fishing), cut off the tenticales and rounded end. With what's left I cut into 5 pieces. It slips right onto the senko. Works great!!
    Just can't leave well enough alone!!

    Re: Wacky Rigging (fastman151)

    Thats a great idea with the tubes.

    I use a ring most of the time, but if I can I like to got with just a hook and weightless wacky rig it in the middle.

    I use the o-rings with weightless wacky rigging and with the wacky jigheads. makes the whole package a little more durable.

    I use the wacky rig all the time. In northern clear lakes it is a great technique.
    You can also use plastic shrik wrap, like what you use on electrical connections. Heat up just a little to shrink, but no hot enough to melt the worm.

    Small cable ties work good also.
