O rings

[Esox pro]

I just slide them on there at home so when i need a new senko i just slide 2 on them

[Esox pro]

Just looking for what you guys think im not a fan of experimenting i just want to know what works

[Esox pro]

Im thinking of getting orings with a inside diameter of 3/8 or 1/2 what do you guys think 

i use 2 orings crossed

This whole O-ring thing. Man it confusing, a real head scratcher.

 

This is what I do:

Take hook put through worm, cast, catch fish.

Oring allow you to catch more fish on one senko wacky rigged the problem is due to size of oring they tear senko in half 

So im trying to find out what larger size orings to get

If you leave them on the larger diameter portion of the tool, like in your picture, you will stretch the o-ring causing it to fail. Leave them bunched on the slender end of your o-ring tool until you are ready to use them. This will allow the o-ring to maintain it's elasticity and hold your bait much better.

I find the 1/4" o-rings to be too tight for 5" Senkos and similar baits. These o-rings will cut into the bait especially if they are soft. These are the ones that I've used:

 

Bass Pro Shops XPS Quick Rigger Replacement Rings
Size: 6 mm (1/4") ID, 9.5 mm (3/8") OD, 1.75 mm (1/16+") CS
Price: $2.99/25

 

You can find this size o-ring cheaper here:

 

Buna O-Rings
Size: 1/4" ID x 3/8" OD x 1/16" CS
Price: $1.00/100

 

Currently I am using 5/16" o-rings which are a little loose but they do generally hold the worm. I've lost a few when a fish has grabbed the worm by the end and pulled it off. These are:

 

Buna O-Rings
Size: 5/16 ID x 7/16 OD x 1/16 CS
Price: $1.00/100

 

The next time I order o-rings I am going to try the 7mm size which is between the 1/4" and 5/16", about 9/32". You can find those here:

 

Metric Buna O-Rings
Size: 7mm (9/32") ID x 10mm (13/32") OD x 1.5mm (1/16") CS
Price: $1.00/25

The Id of my current orings are 1/4 just like yours but they cut mine in half so am thinking about  getting Orings with the id being 3/8” or 1/2

Kinda want them to stretch as it seems to make the senko last longer

For the double cross the id is 1/4 and while they fit senkos sometimes come off  and while oring held on better lowered hook up so do you think going to 3/8 id with 1/2 od is too large and if so what size fits without tearing the senko

Go crazy and buy a couple of each to try.

 

Good night Irene.
