if you wanna pre rig your wackys use 3/8 clear automorive heat shrink tubing. i dont like the rubber rings. plus i feel i lose way more fish with the hook point running the length of the bait neko style. they last forever with a half in section of clear heat shrink where you put the hook through.
i love the wacky rig but i break so much more senkos compared to the texas rig
Remember after 5 tugs.. your just playing with yourself..
This helps me out a ton. I never finished the wacky worm but I got a kayak and I would definitely be trying out your tips. Thank you. Also helps that you fish around Ohio 👍
Ty for this informative video 👍no weights or anything on your line ? One more question please ! I like to also fish with live bait what length leter 0:09 0:09 should I have from my weight to the hook please and tyvm
I see a fine cigar is one of your preferred accessories. I enjoy said accessory as well. Helps keep the skeeters at bay, too.
That was so much fun to watch. Jay and I thank you for a lovely dinner tonight❤️
Great advice!!!! Still trying
to figure this one out
I’m using a Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG hook on mine. I might need to dial it down some. I don’t get snagged that often and I do catch a lot of bass on it, but I think I could do better if I could get it into tighter areas of cover.
Love this video, I personally won my first tournament not too long ago and very proud! Anyways bro another banger of a video remember the grind never stop
You should check out the Arsenal neko-wacky tool kit. It uses silicone bands instead of O-rings. They have different diameter bands for different size worms. I have it, and it works really well.
I like it right threw the worm.
I use 3/0 hooks without problem. Maybe I’ll try 1/0
I have good luck with Yum Dingers plus no way I use a ring, I do like the idea of clear shrink tubing, have not tried that yet though. I would say biggest issue I have with a wacky worm is feeling the strike, really have to pay attention to your line. I would agree I ALWAYS have a wacky worm tied on, it catches fish!!!!
The wacky worm is my go-to for catching bass! Always works like a charm 👍
Like my friend Wndell
Good vid! Great information. Should def do more vids like this. Rigging & how to. 👍
Heading out daybreak tomorrow. Gotta wacky tied on.
Man you always gave good advice thank you for your advice. I just started a 30 mile kayak camping trip with my family & my wife coworkers family about 3 – 4 hours ago for Father's Day & am going to use the wacky worm for a lil bit. It's very hot & they have not biting to well. We just stopped to take a quick break & put some sunblock on my arms and feet cuz I'm just getting over a severe Sunburn and I can't afford to get them burnt again. But we are having a blast so far. Only one swimmer so far my 2nd son Chase flip over on his kayak. Happy Father's Day to you & I hope you have a good Father's Day weekend.
Great info! The wacky always catches.
