You will need to be a little more specific. What bait? What hook?

I rarely miss a fish that bites my wacky rig whether it be a Trick worm or a Senko-style bait. Not that I'm a pro but I am very meticulous about what hooks I use for each bait.

dont set the hook like a tx rig, load the rod like a drop shot first.

I am particular about the hook and rigging method when wacky rigging also:

This is a great way to rig a normal Zoom Trick worm. I do it very much the same but with a 3/0 Roboworm Rebarb hook.


I rig a Senko style bait differently with this hook. I use a short piece of silicone tubing around the bait & put the hook thru it. I use a nasal speculum tool to get the silicone tubing onto the Senko.






The little O-rings will work but after 2-3 fish the O-ring cuts your bait in half. I buy medical grade silicone tubing off Amazon by the foot. You want 3/8" ID for most soft stick baits like 5" & 6" Senkos. Then I cut the silicone tubing into approx 1/4 long pieces with scissors. You have enough silicone rings for two years from one foot of silicone tubing.

When you get a bite on this rig you just lift your rod & start reeling fast. The hook sets itself. I rarely miss a fish on this setup. I went to Comodero last Feb and we were catching 100 fish per person per day.

Using this setup with the silicone tubing we would catch TWENTY fish from ONE Yamamoto Senko using this setup. Gary will hate me for sharing this little tip.

Dang Ken, ya gotta tell everybody? Lol. Been using the tubing deal for awhile now & definately gets more mileage from a pack of Senkos for sure.. Dipping the ring in chart or red spike-it works good tòo.
