This WILL CHANGE The Way you Fish A Wacky Rig FOREVER!

very well made video！

What brand you use for braid?

Just found your channel and on the 2nd video of yours. Enjoy your to the point information. Thank you!

Question, do you let the worm do the sinking slowly by itself or do you use like a nail weight or a weighted hook

Yum Dingers work like magic. Maybe I'll give Stickos or Yamamotos a try. I like to keep it all braid, as knots can cause some issues. I can get one to last all day. I use some plastic shrink tubing to keep mine on rather than an o ring.

How long is your leader and what knot do you tie? Thanks.

Trick stick and dinger

I'v been using True Turn hooks. I like 90% of the time they hook the corner of the mouth .

I fish the Strike King OCHO!! Love it.

so , no weights or sinkers needed?

great tips...i love braid but hate the trouble of tying leader on but u convinced me to fish a wacky this way

What size vmc neko do you like to use?

Can you post your links for your rod and real again? Links aren’t working. I tried to enter manually for the reel and that didn’t work either. Thanks. Great video!

I tried this rig for about three hours in a large lake and nothing.. I tried different techniques when pulling it in.

Please don’t take any offence but your hook was improperly inserted into your worm . Those rings are made for every day use and not for tournaments. The hook needs to go through the egg sack of the worm without the ring. This will turn your worm 90 degrees which allows for a more natural fall/appearance and you will double/triple your fish count. Hope this helps everyone that reads/understands this reasoning.

I just got back from SC two weeks ago and the wacky was definitely the ticket for the week. Your tip on the longer shank weedless hook is something I'm definitely going to implement on my next outing. Great tutorial and earned a sub.

With the O ring, I've had a single senko last a few hours easy with plenty of hits. Key is having the O ring though

I use high vis 8 lb mono.

I like the strike king shim sticks. Those have heavy salt content and there are a lot of good color options for them

what size hooks? 1/0?

Why do people not like to talk googan baits? Just curious

Good job

No disrespect bruh but That's a lie about Yum baits worms. I caught a 12 pound bass on a yum and tons of bass on yum bait worms even catfish that were over 8 pounds. it doesn't take special bait to catch fish. YUM worms are reasonable priced and they do the same job.

🥶

This is my "they're being stubborn today" go-to. Kind of surprised you don't use the wacky rig as more of a slow moving search bait. I do the same as you with letting it sink to the bottom first, but I've caught many a bass (especially on days when they're fickle) by gently jigging it 2-3 times and then letting it sink again during the retrieve, rinse and repeat. Fall, lift lift lift, fall, lift lift lift, fall etc. Covers a lot more water and can get reaction bites. In fact I've caught more during such a retrieve than on the initial fall. Worth a shot when they're being picky!

Links don't work for several items

The plastic worm it is one bait that will catch bass year round I never go fishing without a worm and jig tied on 👍

Yamamoto 10 lb mono suffix green pumpkin red flake I don't even worry about any other color or bait it catches that's what I use. But I may try to braid trick Because sometimes it is hard to see if that fish bit and sometimes it is too late.

Thank you for being so simple and descriptive for us beginners!

Googan soft baits are overrated

What line you using? Link dont work

Thanks for the great video on Wacky Rigs!! I have had success using this method!! Amazing how the fish just go crazy for it!!🐟🐟🐟

Seems like the line tip is basically fishing like your using a fly rod with no strike indicator. Works great, never thought of doing it with my bass fishing setups though.

I catch just as many fish using the KVD Ocho's as I do with the Senko's - not sure what the salt content is with the KVD's.

Wacky rigging is definitely a fun way to catch ‘em. Especially on the light tackle. When I take out people who don’t really fish, I set them up with wacky rigs.
Unfortunately, the 2 clubs I used to belong to should have been called “wacky bass club”. That’s all everyone ever used. People would literally show up with 6 rods rigged with different size and color senkos. It was frustrating and brainless if u ask me. I really didn’t want to join the trend so I wound up quitting the clubs.

Using these hooks this past weekend in a tournament , with 30 minutes to go I jumped off a 3 1/2 pounder on a VMC wacky hook. On inspection of the rig after the hook was sprung open alot.......alot. Before you say anything 12lb test on a Dobyns 734 no over kill on the setup. Bad hooks straight up!

Great video but i do have a question what size hook do you use?

I fish a shallow lake and the Yum Dinger seems to get hit more often than the Senko.

I use Yum 5" Dingers. Watermelon w/red flake, Bama Bug, Ghilie suit, and Black w/blue flake colors work well for me. 10lb braid, 3/0 Wide gap worm hook, 6ft Shakespeare Ugly Stick medium action rod. Shakespeare 1000 reel....some gave it to me years ago and I never bothered researching the specs on it 😂. BUT I do catch bass in clear or murky waters with YUM. Ive used Gary Yamamoto and Googans and had less success but to each his own and its fishing😂

very i informative lesson.thsnks. teah the less is more in wacky wormin

I USE 5/16TH HEAT SHRINK TUBING AS A HOOK REINFORCEMENT TO GET MORE USE AND LIFE OUT OF MY WORMS

Great tips, thanks! What pound braid do you use?

Great video. You know what’s weird though, I have completely different results on our Colorado bass fisheries. I tried the Gary Senko, the bass pros, and some other fat ones like zoom and others. Turns out on the waters I fish, mostly clear and grassy, I have to downsize the worm diameter and length. I’ll catch almost nothing on the OG senko, but slaughter them with yum dingers and some other smaller 4-5” worms. Could be people just pressure these waters way too much here with senkos, so simply giving the bass a different look works.

What size is Neko Hook? I'm a newbie and need help.😢

Is it a 2/0 hook?

Very well done Nathan.
I enjoy your postings often.
I like Kistler rods too.
I'll likely use my Graphite, GRSP703LMH <--- Good choice?
I'd like to know your thoughts/opinions on these for making wacky worms last/secure:

Love the Wacky Rig. I have used Octopus hooks going to change to VMC HOOKS!

Thanks again for another great vid Nate

I'm in love with the Gamakatsu versions of those hooks. For me, the weed guard works much better
