as far as baits go I really like some of the tiki sticks and wave worm stuff, they are a little stiffer than a name brand senko and somtimes it seems they want that more. You can make it "quiver" instead of really twitching it lol

V&N trick worms ,,no need to buy fancy spring hooks,just hook the point thru the egg sack,turn the hook back in top side,and just sink the barb below the surface of the plastic,wain till you have slack coil on the bottom,,,then twitch & shake do not pick up your rod as you would Texas rig,more of a drag & twitch

Tommyc,,,,I dont post very much,but I love this method,,only method that has produced double digits for me,

Does this work better in shallow work 1-5 feet or deeper depths. I tried this in 15ft of water and it seemed like I couldnt get it to the bottom

The wacky worm is my "go to" bait. It usually gets a fish or two for me, even on tough days. I use a 5" Senko, a Lake Fork ring weight, and a 2/0 Gamakatsu finesse weedless hook. I have caught ten Bass using the same worm due to the use of the ring weight. You can cast farther, plus the worm lasts ALOT longer not being directly hooked.

I curious if anyone has heard if Lake Fork Tackles wacky weight system is going to be available soon. It should work great for deep wacky fishin.

I have had success fishing wacky worms around docks. Sometimes they will hit it on the way down, even when the won't bite anything else. Always weightless and usually the same senkos I use for t-rigging, yamamoto and tiki 5" for the most part. I am going to have to try the smaller worms though.

I learned from the best - Rick Carter - a darn good guide on Fork.

I have gotten to where I throw wacky / 8'' trick worms almost everywhere I go, deep, structure, grass, shoreline

It's definitely my comfort bait

Yeah, I've heard Rick Carter and Joe Davis are two of the best out there using this technique. I prefer Zoom Trick Worms in warm weather and Finesse worms in cooler weather.

I'm gonna get killed for this but I didn't know there was an art to wacky worming. I guess its been about 11 years since I threw one I wonder whats changed.

i use a gary yamamoto senko, or i have some from the amistad man, either way, ive got a lot of giants wacky rigging, its not the kind or color or type,its all presentation, slow is the key, i use a 3 hook, no weight in the senko, just hook and bait, its a takes painfully slow presentation but trust me, u work at it and its deadly, especially catching them off beds, main thing is you locate fish b4 u go throw it, u find fish and theres not a one of them that can resist

1/2"-1" finish nails in both ends of the worm to help it sink quicker. Finish nails are ALOT cheaper than the lead stick weights.

this I like
