wacky rig set-up

[BenoBreath]

I just started getting into the wacky rig style of fishing. Just curious

on what set up(rod, reel, & line), is your favorite ?

Thanks,

BB

Mojo (sigh) plastics 7' Revo STX

i fished with this combo for a few hours this after noon and its the first time i didnt think the rod was a mistake. its still tip heavy but with a heavier reel its evened things out.

[Wayne P.]

4 medium action spinning rods 6'

3 medium heavy action spinning rods 6'6"

 the spinning rods are BPS, and custom and the reels are 2000

 and 2500 sized BPS, Daiwa, and Shimano

1 medium heavy action 6'6" H&H baitcasting rod with Chronarch

All have 30# superline of various brands

[Bob Dole]

One of the main keys being the braid/fluoro leader or all fluoro for minimal stretch to really stay in touch with the lure.

XF is nice but if your fishing O rings and circle hooks then fast action is fine.

I have a 6'9" All Star Platinum, Wacky Worm special spinning rod. Medium/fast. I've got a Pflueger President 6740 mounted on it.

That is great! I use the exact same rig for Wacky. I run 8lb green P-line cxx premium and a 1/0 demon circle hook.
