I've watched a ton of fishing content over the years but to this day this dude has probably taught me more than anyone.
Nice! We love to hear feedback like this. Happy to help. Thanks for being a loyal viewer!
So glad you brought up color. From what biologists say, fish are color blind so they're seeing in shades of grey. That being said, I'd think the darker the color, the more visible it would be against the background.
5:30 if you already know how to rig it.

I fish a 5" senko early rigged, weightless on a gamakatsu 1/0 offset worm hook. I caught 16 bass today. The senko wacky rig requires it being weightless for maximum wiggle. It also gives the bass the most time to grab it on the fall.
Yeah.....to each their own and I hate to be pedantic but by definition a wacky worm rig is weightless. I can't wait to try out my Wave fishing 5" bamboo sticks. These are some fat, heavy senkos.
how do u reel the worm?
@@super_5402 with your hands
I've not tried this yet but this video explains alot more than most who are just tring to sell something. another great one form yinz guys.
mwmnmwm Thank you!
That’s very true I agree this guy really does explain good I always thought with the other videos I was bad at paying attention but no there just bad at keeping peoples attention and actually teaching them
V 8.

Love fishing weightless especially in small lakes and ponds. Weights attract weeds and grass more. I have be rigging worms through the head, or tail or middle since I was a kid. As a kid I could not afford to buy new worms so I had to be creative in my rigging. Today I am just cheap. :). I will reuse a worm til it is just too short to use. I rarely use a jig head but will give it a try a bit more.
This is a great way to fish. I have caught many bass using this method. I use o rings on my worms. Seem to last a little longer.
Excellent video to teach you how to wacky fish!
Bill Crow Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Love wacky rig with a 1/16oz tungsten bullet weight, weedless wacky hook and a trick worm. Catches big and small fish alike.
I love to use this setup, catch more fish with this than anything else!
After watching this video and using some of the tips my wacky rig fishing has gone up dramatically
use wacky rig a lot but usually insert weight in senko or worm. never tried on jighead but will. good video, thanks
I fished Lake Biwa here recently and caught all of my fish except one on a wacky rig. It was the first time I fished the wacky rig all day and it's definitely something I'll have rigged up all the time.
I've fished it weightless a lot but I will definitely try it with a jig head/weighted hook now.
MassYak85 yea I never used a weight
First time on this channel. I already like this guy. Honest and not trying to do a bunch of unnecessary stuff and use ridiculous amounts of gear to impress people or make himself sound more educated. All about the honest, simple approach that works best for him in his experience. And amen to the worm color not making a massive difference. I'm always debating people on that topic and I'm with you. It's all in the action.
Wow closinginonclosure, thanks for the feedback and support. Glad I can provide value. I look forward to hearing more from you.
BassResource - Bass Fishing Information Absolutely. Thank you for investing the time and effort to make these videos, and content to help fellow anglers. I've looked at many channels and yours is the first one I subscribed to. It's important to me to respect the person's opinion and feel like minded to an extent. As well as having a relatable approach and mentality on the water. I feel like you're genuine and genuinely trying to help. Where as some channels seem to be a showcase of how much shit they know that you don't. How much tackle and hardware they own, and how amazing they think they are. Haha. Glad I found your channel. Looking forward to watching more of your content. Thanks again!
Started fishing this summer and haven’t gotten anything yet. All the videos out there are so confusing and telling you to buy this or that. Thank you for keeping it simple yet detailed. I appreciate you mention what gear works best without having to spend so much money. I am going to try these tips!
Glad to help, @freddyj5845. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
I'm gonna try a weighted setup now...never had much luck with them weightless due to lack of action. Good tips!
I wanted to tell you how great this video was. I recently got back into frequent fishing after many years of it being rare due to life things. I inherited my father "small tackle shop" worth of rods, reels and tackle. He loved to fish. Probably slightly more than he loved to find and buy more gear and tackle "just cuz you never know what they will want" I kept hearing about wacky rig and I had to find out what it was. I googled videos and yours popped up. So I tried it out. I have about 8 bass this year and 6 of them on wacky rig. I was using various size rods/reels and line weights. Some braid some mono. KVD Coffee scented green pumpkin sticks ( I just ran out of them so time to shop haha) I use them with weedless weighted like you show, with standard J hooks, Circle hooks and off center circles too. Basically the fish just cant say no. Well except this one lake in the WMA I fish. So far those bass only hit rattle traps from rapala. Anyway, many thanks this is one video that definately improved my catch.
+Joel Harris That's awesome Joel! You just made my day. Glad it helped!
Wacky worming works! I love skipping wacky rigged Senkos under boat docks.
I like wacky worm about this time of the year when the grass mats are pretty much fully floating. It's easy to drop it into holes and in the edges and gives you time to play the worm on the way down. I have caught a lot of nice five doing this.
I use a very light weight to help me get distance from shore or in windy conditions. Not all stickbaits or worms fall the same; depends upon design, salinity, line type and line size, etc.
Color is an important factor, especially when fishing in dark tannic water or muddy conditions. Dark colored baits are easier to see in low vis, clear or bait imitating plastics for whatever the bass are feeding on at that time. The more anglers putting the hooks in the fishes' faces, the more critical details become to be successful at fishing pressured bodies of water. Glenn is in an area that doesn't have the pressure we have here in Southern California.
I am anxious to try this technique. I have seen it work for some people and work well! Thanks for sharing how easy it is!
Jimmy Chaplin You're welcome!
I have never fished a worm wacky style!. Since I have watched this video and seen ways to present my bait to the fish and how to rig it correctly, I wanna try it now more than ever. Great video! Thanks Bass Resource!!!
Bridgette Woolwine Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Glenn May always gives the insight on the best techniques for bass fishing!!!
tonymaxedon Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Creative and informative can't wait to employ this next time I get out fishing.
Braid to leader allows anglers to see falling bites easier. The high-vis braid acts like a visual cue.
I've never been good at fishing the wacky worm. Practice, practice, practice is what I need to do to get better!!
Thanks. I have never tried Wacky Rig fishing but am going to give it a shot this morning. Great video instruction.
Mike Geer Thank you!
Great way to fish , Love it cause it flat out catches fish !
Haven't spent much time fishing a wacky rig. Can't wait to put some time in and work on these techniques. Thanks for the great tips and video.
Good video with great ideas. Looks like a good way to fish in every season. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you for the awesome tips i have Larned a lot of good information from your videos that have got me caching a lot more bass on my home waters thank you for all the helpful tips
David Cates Thank you! And thanks for watching!
I
I do the wacky rig with small 4"worm on #6 Hook & slip sinker.
Glad you didn't completely bash people who use o-rings. When you use a cenko weightless it has a vibrating/flutter action so you don't really have to use a jig, unless you're in deeper water which I think you were. The o-rings help us average Joes to not waste our hard earned money by having to buy a ton of worms. You will lose a lot if blue gills are around and short striking bass and even weeds without o-rings.
Thanks for the feedback and support. I look forward to hearing more from you.
That's how I fish wacky with the exception I use an unweighted 1/0 weedless wacky VMC hook. If I need the weight for deep wacky fishing or it's windy, I'll put shot on the line 6-10" up from the hook/bait
This is a simple way of fishing love it
One of my favorite ways to fish. Learned some new tips thanks.
i'm new to bass fishing thank for the videos.
This is an awesome way to catch fish. just don't wait to long to set the hook bc they swallow the bait quickly!!
ak47soulja2 they normally hit it on the drop and when you start reeling he’s already had it in his mouth for 10+ secs
I love the wacky rig, great for pressured bass on Guntersville
Thanks! I picked up a couple of things no one else has talked about.
Thomas Palmer, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Awesome article. Ive never tried but hust went and gots to use for wacky fishing. Cant wait to try this weekend. Thanks
Great video! Lots of info! Thanks for the tips Glen!
Chuck Barrick You're welcome!
thanks, glenn! great, detailed video... as usual. i'll be hitting it with the wacky rig shortly. ty.
Glad to help, doublegregg. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.
@@bassresource tysm, glenn! i will.
Very informational video! I'll keep it in mind in the future when I wacky rig for sure! In addition to that I did all asked and those baits would be nice addition to help catch some bass
Just started fishing wacky rig. Still no bites, but this helped a ton.
Thanks!
Then there’s no fish
Great video, definitely going to try this out
"don't know what it is this bait resembles". RIGHT? i ignored this type of lure until this year, cause i just never thought it'd be worth anything. using it this year? i've caught more and bigger bass on this lure than any other lure i've ever used. i've now got about a dozen colors, in 3 and 4 inch size since i'm in ohio, and it's something i CONSTANTLY have on one of my poles as i fish from my kayak. i never thought to use a jig head, but you've convinced me to give it a shot. i'm going to try that out this evening.
Great! Let me know how you do!
I've always fished 'weedless'. I'm going to try wacky weighted!
Very informative. I have not fished this way before, but plan to give it a try after seeing this video.
I love my weightless senko fishing. Keep saying I'm going to try wacky but never get to it. I just finished setting up one of my senko rods for wacky. I will give it a shot tomorrow morning.
Curious fishing minds here wanna know how it went??
+ryanjofre I caught two that morning. i still prefer weightless senkos, texas rigged.
Hey, we saw the NASCAR race in Phoenix two weeks ago....damn Harvick......I thought Junior was gonna win. I don't understand........so your saying a Texas Rig is your favorite. A weightless Texas rig would just be a weightless rig....lol. A bullet weight on top of a vertically rigged senko is a Texas rig right??
Great info. Thanks for sharing 🎣 👍
Never tried this before but willing to try anything on these lake Allatoona bass.good video.
Very good information here. Thanks BR!
Haven't had much luck wacky rigging myself. both times I've tried it I've gotten snagged and broken off. I may have to look around some stores and grab some of the weedless hooks, or try making the regular hook weedless as I saw on a website the other day.
Wacky rig drop shot has been good this year for me.
Andrew Bromfield do you just put a split shot?
Simplistic. Great instructional video.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Ill have to try this out, looks pretty interesting!
I wacky rig senko and it works really good
Outside of green pumpkin also used watermelon color. I've gotten more on those two baits than I have on any others. Now semi Smokey black with silver Fleck in it will also work in areas but as Clearwater as he mentioned watermelon and green pumpkin will be best.
Yes, absolutely Todd Dreher! Thanks for watching!
I've been fishing for decades and no idea that was how you were suppose to hook those kind of worms. I would always just hook it though the head like a nightcrawler
Finesse fishing is my favorite style, love to feel that bite!
good info will start trying this
One of the best video.Thanks
You need to get a little higher up towards the head end of the worm with your hook. And I don’t understand how he doesn’t understand the benefits of weightless. When I fish googan, zoom, culprit and get nothing at this time of year (early June) in NC, the wacky rig bright watermelon red zoom finesse worm weightless is tearing em up. You make 3 or 4 small quick jerks and then let it sink for a second or two then repeat, snatch fish out of water, let cool for 2 minuets and enjoy
I sometimes just put a split shot above the top of the hook and it works great....just like a weighted one
That’s a good tip as well, Johnny Blaze. Thanks for sharing.
I have tried wacky rigging my tubes and no joy. For some reason I have never used a senko and plan on using it this weekend both weightless (10 ft depth water) and weighted on some 30 ft holding fish to see what happens.
great tips for wacky style
Great information here
I like to have my rig about mid water if not three forths from the bottom I feel that works wonders
That’s a good tip as well, AJ Weimer. Thanks for sharing.
Another awesome video
I love the wacky in the grass!
Love the wacky rig .
your videos are awesome I haven't caught any bass yet with wacky rigs but hopefully I do so I get more experience for senkos and other baits for bass and some color senkos work amazingly for drop shot because of what they like I guess
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
+Jayson V yes because it gives like a new skill set for senkos and some bass or big bass prefer wacky rigs
Great Video with a lot of info
Great info. Sweet. Thanks.
Thanks for the video! Great info!
Thanks for the video. Ive never really used many soft plastic baits vert much bc honestley ive never caught many fish on them. I'm gonna give this a shot thos evening though and see what happens.
Joseph Lilley, glad I can help. Thanks for subscribing as well.
