Fat Ika

Always, weightless and weedless.

Crestliner, for fishing the Ika deep, if it's reverse rigged, you can fish it past 20' without additional weight. I do it at Table Rock every trip

T-rigged with the 4/0 EWG hook is the way to go. That's the right size hook to support the bait. Ika's tear almost as easily as senko's. T-rigged on the 4/0, they'll usually get at least two fish per bait, sometimes three.

If you try the circle hook rigged through the tentacles, let us know how it worked for you. It's an interesting idea.

Cheers,

I fish the fatties in all depths ,even rite up to shore.. ( well I have never tried it in over 15')

also have used it both directions

also Have been using a senko type worm w/ 1/8 oz bullet then switched to a Fattie and just leave the weight on and also weightless.

have caught fish all ways with this bait..

4/0 seems to be the rite hook.. but I have noticed that some brands are a different size hook even if they say the same number.

Do you catch fish with a Senko? If you do, the Fat Ika is fished EXACTLY the same way, it simply has different action and a different profile. The Fat Ika is something most bass have never seen before.
