Weedless Wacky Rig Hooks

[RiskKid.]

Just wondering what brand and size weedless hooks you use for wacky rigged 5 inch senkos (or knockoffs)

[T-rig]

These are great hooks:   http://www.ichibantackle.com/showproductdetail.asp?productid=2052&name=MOSQUITO%20HEAVY%20GUARD&manufacturename=NOGALES%20(VARIVAS%20/%20GRAN)

The largest size of this hook- 2/0

There may be a better version in production in the near future.

T-rig, that is a better hook, but difficult to find.

I use a #1 gold hook.

A 1/0 weedless hook.

A 2/0 weedless hook.

So far these have worked on all sizes of Senkos and finesse worms.

Yes, you can wacky rig a finesse worm, too.

Give 'em a try.

Glad there aren 't many mexicans around BR, other way I would have to go up there and whup u good for disclosing one of my secrets.

Any hook can be made weedless for wacky rigging

Any plastic bait can be wacky rigged

Absolutely do not add a pinch on weight above the swivel

I found some Eagle Claw weedless 5 pack hooks at KMart in the bargain box for 20 cents each that look just like those ichiban ones in the first post.  I bought them all, and they've served me well.  I also have some just like it by Mustad, and they're good too.

I used the Reaction Innovations W.W. Hook, which is now discontinued. It was a heavier gauge Gamakatsu kahle style hook with two monofilament strands as a weedgaurd. I had a few of the points roll on me so I lost confidence in them. The closest hook that I have found is the Falcon Lures "K" Wacky Hooks - http://www.fishingworld.com/FalconLures/Details.tmpl?ID=10243676811008277&Cart=120062290062713153&SKU=52%20GAMY. I purchased the weedless weightless version but have yet to use them. The Gamakatsu Finesse Weedless Hooks are a good hook, but I like a wider gap. Some people have told me that this hook is better if you use a sweep hookset.

plan to invest into these...these are the new owner wacky hooks.

[Wayne P.]

For smaller diameter baits than the Senko type, this rigging is the strongest and less visible to the fish.

I use a 3/0 Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap (red cause that is only color I found locally). But since I use a weight 1/4 to 3/8 and my local lake is heavy with salt cedar brush I tie a loop of cheap 50LB mono for a weedguard. I tried the Gamakasu Finesse Wide Gaps that come with a weedguard, but they pop open so easy the weedguard is a waste.

I also use small o-rings I get at Lowes in the Plumbing dept rather than bury the hook in the worm.  Doesn't tear the worm up every fish.

Links is on the right track...  find the hook you like best and have a buddy that ties flies add a mono or fluoro loop to it.  Takes about 60 seconds per hook.  You can cover a lot of ground during halftime of a game!  

There are several types of loops.  I prefer the kind you see on the gammy finesse weedless hooks but tied in with mono or fluoro.

Try Falcon hooks

I find it easier to skip a wacky rigged senko over a TRig senko. How are these hooks around wood, docks and other solid objects for hang ups?

Thanks
