Mbirdsley Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I like using mostly senkos, Berkley max scent, and yum dingers. However, a zoom pumpkin magnum swamp crawler has caught a of lot wacky rigged bass. Especially in clear water Quote
Super User gim Posted December 22, 2020 Super User Posted December 22, 2020 So no one has tried wacky rigging a Zman huh? I foresee an experiment next season. Quote

Suprisingly, the Zinkerz have decent action. With the extreme buoyancy of the elaztech I expected the action to be crummy. But no, It has a slow fall and a slight wiggle. I can see it working well in shallow water, since it sinks so slow. I'll definitely give them another shot (didn't catch a fish on em) but for now i still prefer the senko and xzone center stick. 1 Quote

Do you think inserting it with a nail weight so that it’s like a neko rig would be effective? I’m tempted to try it with a zinker, big trd, or even a giant trd version. 1 Quote
Fishin Dad Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 I have used the Zman with a weighted wacky hook. It worked well. It does have decent action with the floating worm working against the weight pulling it down. 1 Quote

I believe they call that the tiny child rig. It definitely would work with the larger TRD offerings too. I dont really throw the neko rig but I'm sure the zman baits are quite popular for neko because of the floating tails. 1 Quote
