Super User ChrisD46 Posted April 27, 2020 Super User Posted April 27, 2020 I started using the VMC Wacky Jig Heads in 1/16th oz. and on windier days or deeper water I've also added the 1/8th version ... What is your current favorite wacky jig head and weight(s) you most often use with 5" stick baits ? Also , does anyone use wacky jig heads with say 4" and 6" senkos ? Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 27, 2020 Super User Posted April 27, 2020 My favorite wacky jigs are: Spinning gear: Zappu inchi wacky weedless tungsten heads. 1/16, and 1/8 oz. Casting gear: Revenge flippin whackers head. 1/16, 1/8, 3/16 oz. Yes I wacky rig 4" + 6" senkos in addition to the 5". 4" is a staple for smallmouth, 5" is my all purpose size, and 6" when I am on a good wacky jig bite, and need to get a kicker. If the bites tuff, I still wacky jig a lot, but with something other than a senko/dinger/soft stick bait.... because that's pretty much EVERYONE else's tuff bite bait around here. Quote
EWREX Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 owner ultra head is awesome and has some of the stickiest hooks i've gotten stung by ?. weight depends on water depth, wind, etc Quote
primetime Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I just add a split shot or bullet weight to my worm hook. I like to just crimp a split shot since its faster and easier. A pegged bullet weight on top of the hook does the same thing and i like my hook up ratio better with a bigger hook personally that many of the wacky hooks. Quote

Primus Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I've heard a lot of good things about using the Frenzy baits Wack a Sack, I have some on order and look forward to trying them myself. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Frenzy_Baits_Wack-A-Sack_Wacky_Jig_w__Round_Bend_Hook/descpage-WACR.html Quote
SWVABass Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 VMC makes a pretty darn good one and not super expensive Quote
