Fishing with CP Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Is the hype around this true? I bought a wacky rig tool and some senkos but have yet to fish them! Quote
d-camarena Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Kills them everytime, my go to technique. Gotta have the o-ring and use a wacky or dropshot hook Quote
Fishing with CP Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 Kills them everytime, my go to technique. Gotta have the o-ring and use a wacky or dropshot hook That's what I heard! I can't wait to use it, the fishing has been bad for everyone this year. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted July 6, 2015 Super User Posted July 6, 2015 It is true, but you don't need a wacky rig tool or O-rings, all you need is a W-rigged stick worm Roger Quote
BASSPATROL247 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 X2 just a hook and whatever your wacky rigging.. oh and yes they work,very well... Quote
DevinFishing29 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I agree they work like magic. I don't use o-rings or anything. Good Luck! Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted July 7, 2015 Super User Posted July 7, 2015 3/8" electrical heat shrink tubing with the hook perpendicular works better with or without a weedguard. 2 Quote
CeeJay Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Yep, the wacky rig works for me. Deadly technique. I often fish them under a float but it's not necessary. Quote
Shanes7614 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Yep, the wacky rig works for me. Deadly technique. I often fish them under a float but it's not necessary. Instead of under a float, try under docks!!! 1 Quote
d-camarena Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I recommended the o rings beacause the senko lasts a long time with an o ring. For about 1 cent an o ring. Makes it worth it for me and i get just as many bites Quote
CeeJay Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Instead of under a float, try under docks!!! I would but there aren't many docks here on the river bank in my neck of the woods. But I like to drift them float-less as well, and toss them under overhanging trees. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted July 7, 2015 Super User Posted July 7, 2015 Is the hype around this true? I bought a wacky rig tool and some senkos but have yet to fish them! What hype??? You mean all the fish we catch on them? 2 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted July 7, 2015 Super User Posted July 7, 2015 Is the hype around this true? I bought a wacky rig tool and some senkos but have yet to fish them! Yup. Works like magic My rig of choice most of the time. Though I don't use a rigging tool, sometimes I'll use shrink wrap... Quote

Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted July 7, 2015 Super User Posted July 7, 2015 i use 5'' Yum dingers and 5'' Big Bite Baits trick sticks with an Owner Wacky hook in 1/0i don't feel the need to use o-rings even though i have some , never tried them yet and probably never will Quote
d-camarena Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Have not seen that before, nice. Thanks for sharing that Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted July 7, 2015 Super User Posted July 7, 2015 It has saved the day for me 3X this year. So don't be afraid to start out wit it. It works especially well when you know fish haven't seen it or it's been a long time. I have a combo just for wacky rigs. I usually keep one rigged now until they show they won't bite it. Then I'll tie something else on that combo. Try them around obvious cover like overhanging limbs, docks, laydowns, etc. WATCH YOUR LINE. It can mean the difference between a fish swallowing the bait and getting lip-hooked. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 7, 2015 Super User Posted July 7, 2015 I suppose after a decade or more of success, we can't really call it hype anymore. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted July 7, 2015 Super User Posted July 7, 2015 I've spent a lot of time tossing senkos and I can honestly say that I've never caught a bass with a wacky rig. Zero confidence. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted July 7, 2015 Super User Posted July 7, 2015 I've spent a lot of time tossing senkos and I can honestly say that I've never caught a bass with a wacky rig. Zero confidence. I feel genuinely sorry for you..... Quote
desmobob Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I've spent a lot of time tossing senkos and I can honestly say that I've never caught a bass with a wacky rig. Zero confidence. I figured you were joking or trolling, but your post says "honestly." Wow. I was out for a few hours this morning and things were a bit slow. I caught my biggest bass on a wacky-rigged Senko (and a 7 lb. 1 oz. walleye and a 10+lb. drum on a shallow crank bait!). I have lots of confidence in the ol' wacky rig. Tight lines, Bob Quote
Bladesmith, Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Wacky works. I have literally had people on the bank laugh at me when they saw me throwing it because it looks so ridiculous.......that is until they saw me catching fish with it. Then they wanted to know what it was and how I caught fish on it. Quote
