Favorite Weedless Wacky Hook?

[cjam93]

Hey guys so I was wondering what your favorite weedless wacky hooks are? I am wanting to fish them both shallow and in a deeper water like 10-20 feet, so I would want some that have weights as well as some without weights. Thanks!

Both Gamakatsu and Owner have excellent weedless wacky hooks. Jackall makes a excellent weedless wacky tungsten jig, pricy!

Awesome thanks for the suggestions! I didnt think to ask in my first post, but what size weight would you recommend for the 10-20ft range? I have never actually used the wacky rig weighted before, but I think it is something I really want to do this year as I have always had a lot of confidence in it weightless. Thanks again!

Haha does that mean you fish it weightless in all depths?

 No, that means what exactly is the lure you use for wacky rigging.

Oh sorry I thought you were making a joke nevermind. Itll be 4in or 5in senko the most, and maybe a flickshake rarely.

For the Senko--4/0 Gamakatsu Octopus #02414 with added weedguard of braided stainless steel wire.

 

 

 

 

I don't use the flick shake worm, I use one somewhat similar (Zoom Trick and Finesse worms)

rigged like my avatar.

 

I use lead insert weights made by Lunker City in 3/64 oz. for depth  Deep and windy, I use the 3/32 size.

I have hung some pretty nice bass on the owner 1/0 weedless wacky hook, my PB (6.5 lbs) came from one of those hooks. I would give them a look.

If I were fishing in 10-20 feet of water, I would consider a very light buckeye flick it jighead wacky hook.

I use the eagle claw weedless hooks on most of my plastics.

I think it's the #449 eagle claw needless. I go larger in size like 2/0 & 3/0 on the senko and larger on the bigger body bushogs. The bigger hook the better chance on a hook set.

VMC makes a nice weedless wacky hook also.

Trokar wacky worm. Green Owner wacky hooks. VMC Ike approved wacky. In that order

[Fishes in trees]

My current weedless wacky hook of choice is a weighted Falcon K-wacky hook.   I prefer the 1/16 or 3/32 oz weight.    I think that the weight helps you get deep quicker when you are fishing in the 10' range.  I don't think that the slightly faster drop hurts anything when you are fishing the wacky rig shallow.

I like the Trokar best. Stupid sharp.

Don't get VMC. The weedguard prevents hooksets.

[bassin is addicting]

for weightless i like..

Mustad W37754R Ultra Point™ Weedless Wacky Worm Hooks

 

[bassin is addicting]

weighted...

Wayne, can you show an enlarged view of the set up or a link to it?

Weightless w/o weed guard - Gamakatsu octopus hook, I forget what size, maybe like a 1/0?

Weightless w/ weed guard - the Gamakatsu that Wayne P. posted up earlier

Flick-Shake - I like the VMC "Ike Approved" and Owner wacky jigs

YES, Yes it does.  I just tried them.  I caught 1 but lost hooksets on 3 or 4 and the 1 was barely hooked.
