f23blackwidow2 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Has anyone ever tried putting a wacky rigged worm on a carolina rig set up? Do you think it would work? It would combine the 2 best ways to rig a plastic worm. If anyones tried this, or has any other 'wacky' ideas about rigging a plastic worm, please add them. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted April 15, 2012 Super User Posted April 15, 2012 Might be good in generally open water. Seems it might be snag fest every where else. Your basically dragging a wacky rig. Its not like the wacky rig goes up and down Quote
Super User Catt Posted April 15, 2012 Super User Posted April 15, 2012 I use what we call a "finesse" C-rig, well actually two of them One is simply a Wacky Rig with a pinch on weight 12-20" up the line. The second is setup is like a normal C-rig but instead of a swivel & weight we use just a swivel to reduce line twist. Both are extremely effective on post spawn bass! 1 Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 15, 2012 Super User Posted April 15, 2012 Yep. Been there, done that. Zoom Swamp Crawlers or Trick Worms work great!!! Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 15, 2012 Super User Posted April 15, 2012 BassClary, yes, the C-Rig can get hung up and that is a good thing. The bass are in the structure and that is where you will get your striikes. That is also why you buy a number of hooks, swivels, weights, etc. in a package with more than one in them. You can feel what is on the bottom using a C-Rig and you will be surprised at the amount of hidden structure that is on the bottom. You need to fish Buggs, Gaston and Anna with a C-Rig and feel the bottom and you will have a better idea of why the C-Rig is so effective. Ask your mom if you can go out and buy a new Ranger with a 22 Merc on it so you can get to those places and fish!!!!!! Quote
plumworm Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 .I've caught many nice bass on Rayburn with a c-rigged/wacky. Use a weedless hook with a zoom trick worm. It's called a Kariacky rig down there. Quote

Super User Catt Posted April 16, 2012 Super User Posted April 16, 2012 The whole "Wacky" rig idea is a hang up looking to happen but the number of bass it produces far out weighs any difficulties it causes. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted April 16, 2012 Super User Posted April 16, 2012 Rig the worm like I do and your hangups will be greatly reduced. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Ive never fished a wack worm on a C-Rig,but I have fished some out of the box ideas on them and caught fish... 1. Crankbait-it floats above the bottom and when you drag it it pulls down and digs into the mud then floats back up. 2. Jerbait-same concept as the cranbait, just a different profile 3. Swimbait-can be killer on deep water humps and ledges! Quote
bama_bassin Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 How do you rig / fish the swim bait on a c rig? Sounds interesting. Quote
