I just use gamma weedless and pinch different sizes of split shot on the shank depending on the fall rate I want

The cheaper VMC are great. I buy 10 packs of the 1/8oz at a time.

I quit using those even having a 2 inch tag below the hook with a weight on it will make the worm drop straight down vs pendulum towards ya.. I use these hooks, I had a whole bunch of different hooks and got on a good wacky bite earlier this year and went thru my box trying them all over a 4 day period of 20 plus fish a day and these were by far the best performers. I use shrink wrap around the worm then hook just thru the wrap and a little bit of worm for the best action. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Mustad_Double_Wide_KVD_Drop_Shot_Hook/descpage-MDW.html

How does added feel help on a wacky rig? It isnโt a bottom contact presentation.

Check out the Stanley T- wacky jig....The longer shank of the 3/0 hook and tear drop shaped head increased my hook-ups big-time..๐
