Just wondering what everyones best setup for wacky rigging was? I used a standard length Yamamoto senko with a LFT wacky rig ring and a size 2 hook with a weedless spring on it. Got bit ALOT but had many short bites and only landed two fish.

You may want use a larger hook as #2 is pretty small. Try may be a 1/0 or 2/0.

The way I like to fish the 5" Senko is on a 3/0 or 4/0 Gamagatsu EWG super line hook weightless T'rigged. Reduced hang ups over wacky and increases hookups with the larger wide gap hook.

Depends on the lake. Falcon and Choke no less than 20 lb flourocarbon. Amistad 14 lb in more open water up to 20 in the grass and brush. On Falcon if they are tight to the trees and brush may be even 30 lb test.
