How to super glue heat shrink to a wacky worm?

[wasabi_VA]

Gonna throw some wacky worm this season for the first time. I plan to use heat shrink to help keep the worm on the hook and shrunk a few pieces onto a few worms tonight. If I wanted to use super glue to help keep the worm from sliding out the shrink tubing do I apply the super glue before I apply the heat (like a drop up under the tubing) or just along an edge of the tubing after I shrink it down?

If you use a piece of plastic tubing ( fish tank filter). It is snug enough that glue won't be required

Also, once you’ve got the hook going through it, it’s not moving anymore anyways.

If I use heat shrink tube, I rig it through the tube pass the worm just like you normally wacky rig without tube. No glue need and I don’t shrink the tube either (burnt smell might chase bass away)

Have you looked into using an O-Wacky tool and getting O-rings and using this method? I found it to be a lot quicker and much less of a headache. I still can catch 10+ fish with one worm!

Stick a Senko in your pocket, go to Home Depot or Lowes, pick out an ORing size that slides on the worm and buy a bunch for a couple of bucks. BTW, the O rings go on easier with a little scent jel of some kind on the worm, but you may want to apply the scent jel after you buy the O rings and not before you put the worm in your pocket (but a baggy works then)LOL

I use both shrink-tube and o-rings, can’t decide what I prefer.  I don’t shrink the tubing most of the time due to wind and it still works great.  

 

Fyi you can buy shrink tubing with heat-activated glue pre-applied.

I use shrink tubing now because it’s easier/quicker to put on than O-rings, and it keeps the worm intact longer.  No need to glue it in place, hook should go right through the tube and middle of the worm and stay put..

I like the o-rings.  The correct size is 3/8 o.d. by 1/4 i.d.

I've found that I've had a few worms split in half even with 

shrink tubing in place... pretty much just use plain worm

these days, sometimes shrink wrap.

That's definitely the way to go and at only $6.00 or so it's worth every penny.

I use the shrink tape method.

 

Have found that the tape will come loose during the day.

 

Also noticed that the Senko or finesse/trick worm can be torn or thrown from your shrink tape, leaving you with a bare hook and the shrink tape.

 

I smear MegaStrike or add JJ's Magic to all plastics when getting ready to throw the bait.

 

I have caught 10 bass on one Senko using the shrink tape method.
