Do you all know where I can find the attachments for the wacky rig so I won't have to hook through the worm? Someone told me about them but I don't know what they are called or where to find them. They hold the worm on the hook without piercing it and tearing it on every bite. Bass pro has them. There is a "kit", that comes with a hollow tapered aluminum tube along with the o-rings. Just stick the bait in the tube, and roll the o-ring down the tube onto the bait.

I also use the Mustad Weighted Impact Weedless hook. I also cut a small piece of shrink tube, slide the worm in the shrink tube and then slide the hook under the shrink tube. Worms last a long time. I can catch several fish on one worm with little or no damage.
They have several sizes of shrink tube so I can use it for finess worms all the way up to big Senko's. If the worm is too loose I just shrink the tube a little (only a little so you can use it again)for a tighter fit.

I'm convinced that Senkos are designed to come apart, regardless of how you rig them! Lol

If you will store your O-wacky tool, loaded with rings, in a bag with some of the senkos, it makes it a lot easier to use. The tool gets greasy that way from the worm oils.

That's a good idea but I'm not understanding the purpose of the screw. This might be a dumb question but is it to hold the O-rings stacked up in reserve until you get ready to slide/roll them over the big end of the tool with the bait inside positioned for the O-ring to hit in the middle? Thanks. JT

I've never used the tool but it looks like the screw is used to adjust where the O ring will go on the worm. You push the front of the worm in as far as it can go and then slide the ring onto it. The screw moves in and out, reducing or increasing the distance you can put the front of the worm in.

Although the o rings make my senko a last longer, I don't catch near the same amount of fish. I have my tool away
