Wacky Rig: What hooks are best for wacky rig
Assuming you are fishing a 5 inch wacky rig senko or stickbait (which is what people fish on a wacky rig 90% of the time), a 1/0 hook is widely considered as the best option.
Size Hook: What size hook do you use on a wacky rig
What Fishing Hooks to Use. We recommend using a 1/0 red Octopus style hook when fishing the most popular 5” size stick bait. The 1/0 hook size is perfect for securing enough worm without exposing too much of the hooks shaft.
Wacky Rig: Should you put a weight on a wacky rig
Use Weights Using a wacky rig without a weight is pretty much pointless If you go weightless on your rig, your worm is going to take an excruciating amount of time to reach the bottom of the pond or lake and presentation is going to be terrible.
What
action rod
is best for wacky rig?
My set up for wacky rigging is a 6’8″
medium xtra fast action rod
I like the xtrafast action to get to the meat of the rod right away. I personally use 10#braid with a 10’long 12# fluro leader. This combo has always served me well.
Wacky Rig: Can you use any hook for a wacky rig
As far as hooks go, I use a wacky rig hook: a short-shank, wide-gap hook with round bends Just stick the hook point through the egg sac, or thickest portion, of the bait. The Fat Dover Crawler is the best worm I can think of for the wacky system because it has the most movement and displaces the most water.
What is the difference between a wacky rig and a Neko rig?
Difference:
The Neko rig is dropping down at an angle with speed. The wacky rig is floating down with a mostly horizontal attitude. My hook’s the same, too, and I attach it with the same exact ring. The only difference is that I place my ring in the middle of the bait when I wacky rig.
Wacky Rig: What does a wacky rig imitate
Wacky rig is easy to use and works well for beginners. The wacky rig can be used with or without weight and displays a subtle, slow falling action that can mimic life-like bait with a simple upward twitch of the fishing rod.
Best Wacky Worm: What is the best wacky worm
The most popular wacky worm is the Yamamoto Senko Senkos comes in a variety of sizes anywhere from 3″ up to 7″. For wacky rigging I like the 5″ and 6″ sizes. Additionally the KVD Ocho and Yum Dinger are also
great choices
for wacky worms.
Size Hook: What size hook is best for Texas rig
The 3/0 EWG from our bass fishing kit is the ideal hook size and style for Texas rigging.
Best Hook: What is the best hook for drop shot
For really small baits, around the 2.5-3 inch range you are going to want to go with a size #3 or size #2 drop shot hook If the fish are really finicky you may even want to drop this down to a size #4 or size #5.
What is the most
popular senko color
?
Green pumpkin tends to be the most popular and productive color. However, color selection is often based on water clarity. Darker and murky water should be fished with a dark color Senko like black and blue. On sunny days and in clear water, use a more natural-looking color such as green pumpkin.
Can you Texas rig a Senko?
Senko:
Simply put, the Senko, when using the Texas rig, looks like the
real thing
to a bass fish, and this is the main reason the lure is so good at what it does. The Texas-rigged Senko is great for both beginners and more experienced fishermen because of these things.
Texas Rig: What is a Texas rig in fishing
The Texas Rig is a technique used for fishing
soft plastic lures
It involves a bullet weight being threaded onto the line first followed by an optional glass or plastic bead, and then the line is secured to a hook, usually an offset worm hook. Very good for bass fishing.
Soft Plastics: Do you need a swivel with soft plastics
Soft plastics generally track straight, so no swivel and no snap, and if I can see to tie one, a loop knot gives them the perfect action.
Can you use a baitcaster for a wacky rig?
Baitcaster:
I have use both for Wacky rigs Most of the time I use a baitcaster on the Delta and it take less room on the deck.
What rod is best for
shaky head
?
I fish a medium-heavy rod because I normally fish a shaky head in deep water and can end up with big bow in my line. The medium-heavy rod gives more feel for what’s going on with the bait. If you shake a shaky head on bottom, a lot of times you don’t feel the thump of the strike.
Finesse Rod: What is a finesse rod
The Googan Squad Finesse Rod is a medium power spinning rod built for all things finesse fishing Whether you’re shaky head fishing offshore or skipping stick baits under the dock, the Googan Squad Finesse Rod is the deal.
Senko Worms: What hooks to use with Senko worms
Use a 3/0 octopus hook , and hook the Senko in the middle of the bait. This wacky rigged presentation allows the Senko to have the most action, and is the preferred presentation in open water or around sparse cover. Because you have an exposed hook, it will snag in heavy cover areas.
Neko Rig: What is the Neko rig
The Neko Rig is a relatively new phenomenon in the bass community. Basically, it is a weighted version of a wacky rig with a weight inserted into just one end of the soft plastic, giving the bait a unique action as it falls and allows it to stand straight up once it hits the bottom.
Better Wacky Rig: Which is better wacky rig or Texas rig
The Wacky has a more powerfull bite trigger Hook up is great, but you may snag up more. The Texas works better penetrating heavy cover flip/pitch.
Best Weight: What is the best weight for Neko Rig
“All you really need is a 3/32 to 1/8 oz weight and you can use that pretty much anywhere.” said Bass Pro Kevin Van Dam. Whereas BASS Pro Brian Latimer says he mainly uses 1/16 or 1/32 ounce weights from most of his Neko rig fishing. The size of the weight determines the action of the bait.
