Yum Dinger

[bassman201]

I just bought a pack of five inch yum dingers. I was wondering how you would rig them? I was thinking weightless Texas rig or with a 1/8 oz bullet weight.

I like the dingers just fine for weighted texas rigging, but i have more confidence in the "shimmy" of the GYCB senko for weightless wacky rigging.

I love Yum Dingers. I've got at least one rigged up all year long. Most of the time I'll have two. I usually fish the 5" Dinger on a weightless Texas rig. If I'm trying to fish them a little deeper I'll throw on a 1/16 oz or 1/8 oz tungsten weight. You can fish them wacky as well and I've had great luck with them that way. Normally I add a 1/16 oz Eco Pro Tungsten Pro Wacky Weight to them to get a little faster sink rate out of them. They also help to make them last longer. My go to choice for a wacky rig though is the 4" Dinger with a 1/32 oz Pro Wacky Weight.

They work decent using a traditional texas rig.  I suggest you get some nail weights and stick one in the tail about a half inch in from the tip burying it completing into the body of the worm and rig it weightless texas with a 4/0 or 5/0 EWG hook.  The drop action makes it shimmy a lot more and it goes in at an angle away from you, so it kinda searches out a little bit.  I have had a lot of hits on the first drop after the lure hits the water.  If I don't get a hit, I'll start bouncing the slack like a wacky rig...or you can rig it wacky, they work awesome that way as well.  The only thing I don't like about the nail weight is that you often lose the weight or the whole worm when a decent size fish is fighting and jumping.  I haven't perfected my nail burying technique quite yet.

I've some success this spring fish Senko's  on weighted hooks can't see why it wouldn't work well for the Yum Dingers.  This one seems like a good match    http://www.***.com/VMC_Drop_Dead_Weighted_Hook_4pk/descpage-VDDWH.html  which is the VMC weighted hook. Gives the Senko a nice gliding action  and a little faster drop .

This but weightless.

BTW, you´ll catch a lot more but a lot more fish on Dingers that you will ever catch on GYCB senkos simply because Dingers last a lot more fish per bait than senkos, you have no idea how many 1 bait per fish I´ve had when fishing GYCB Senkos or Kinami Flash.

The Yum Dinger was my favorite stick worm for years.

By the way, you might also give the 'Gambler Ace' a shot (senko impersonator)

Whether you T-rig or W-rig the stick worm, 'Unweighted' & 'Weedless' is the way to go.

Wacky rig or weightless Texas rig are the best options. If you use a weight make it a light one unless you fish really deep.  The Yum Dingers are a great alternative to the more expensive Senko's.

It would be easier to tell you how a don't rig and/or use them, and that is.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................you get the picture
