I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I was wondering the effectiveness of using a rubber "O" ring to wacky rig a Senko opposed to hooking it directly through the middle?  I know the "O" ring is supposed to protect the Senko from ripping, thus making it last longer, but the hook position is parallel to the length of the worm.  If you Wacky Rig it through the middle, then you tear up the bait, but the hook is perpendicular to the length of the worm.  Therefore, my question is, does the hook position of a Wacky Rigged worm matter?

My buddy that i fish with uses a o ring and he kills them to the point that i've tried and had luck.  I have also tried hooking it in to the bait but with not as much luck.  just watching how fast i burn threw baits compaired to my buddy makes an o ring a close friend. to me its all what gives you confidence. the only thing i really notice is i have to let them take the whole bait into their mouth before i set the hook.

I have done it both ways and can tell no difference in hook up ratio.  So I use o-rings exclusively now to save worms. I do feel that I get more hook ups by using a 3/0 Gamakatsu Finesse hook I tie some mono on to make weedless. I had tried some size 1 Weedless Gamakasu Finesse hooks and missed many more fish with them.
