Wacky Rig
I've known about the wacky rig for quite some time but have never tried it. Is it a productive method and worth trying?

RE:Wacky Rig
A wacky-rigged senko under a bobber can be deadly when the wind is blowing. Small waves give it great action, plus the wind makes it drift.

RE:Wacky Rig
It is not the most productive technique but a good one. I like to do it if I am fishing vertically and nothing else is working. Other than that the way you rig it with the hook being exposed you'll loose a lot of gear. This would be the kitchen sink for me. (hope people get that)

RE:Wacky Rig
Alright sounds like one of those last resort set ups.

RE:Wacky Rig
For me. I don't want to deter anyone from trying it. Go for it. This is just my experience with it. Others may tell you differently.koryrasmussen55 wrote:Alright sounds like one of those last resort set ups.
I would say if your interested in it, dedicate a day to throwing it. See how it works out for you, could become a go to technique for you. I lack confidence in it, that's all.

RE:Wacky Rig
It's a good rig to use on beds.
RE:Wacky Rig
wacky rigging is my go to rig for senkos. far better than a texas rig if theres not alot of weeds. i also really like the plucky rig. (wacky rig with a piece of pencil lead in one side) imatates a bait fish feeding on bottom.

RE:Wacky Rig
Give these hooks a try......rigged with a stick bait (senkos) or a shaky worm and you'll be suprised

RE:Wacky Rig
In its true basic form, I have not had any luck with it, although I like its action.
However, I have had success with it on a wacky rigged drop shot.
The exposed hook can make it a pain when fishing cover like grass and such. I am going to experiment with wacky rigging with a jig head as opposed to just a regular hook alone. I believe the name for that is flick shaking, but it is just a wacky rig with a jighead.

RE:Wacky Rig
It can be absolutely DEADLY against lilly pad edges when nothing else seems to be drawing them out.
Have had luck when the cranks, jigs, and tubers aren't producing.
They also seem to get a really hard reaction strike for some reason, not little gentle taps.

RE:Wacky Rig
I've done well dead sticking a wacky rig in the past. Last time I used one I made a first fish bet and landed one on the first cast! Not bad.
RE:Wacky Rig
Sorry to stray away from bass. But if take a large pink hoochie, rip of one of the legs and rig it wacky style on a size 6 hook. It kills the pink salmon.
