How to Fish the Wacky Worm Full Length: studio.th-cam.com/users/video5HpOib1sWI4/edit
What are you go to colors??
@@mikesullivan7153 it’s in the main video I’m pretty sure he states which colors he likes don’t quote me but I’m pretty sure.. one of his videos says it lol if that helps
@@mikesullivan7153 Green pumpkin Black Fleck for clear to light stained. Stained to Muddy Black and Blue. I buy them by the 100 geni.us/Dingers100Pack
What kind of kayak is that. I cannot find pedal kayaks or pedal fishing kayaks anywhere
Hands down my go-to rig when the bite is slow or I'm probing different areas of cover. When I have my nieces and nephew with me thats what I'm setting them up with and they'll pull them out left and right and have a blast.
Right on Tater… tried and true!
Same. Rigs these for my daughters and wife and they get hammered.
I feel like a idiot. I throw this in rotation and never thought how easy and a good learning lure this rig would be for my son and daughter. Theyve been loving the action they get on a 1/16th oz ball head jig with a 2.75 inch zman slim swim for creek smallmouth and rock bass.
@@wendellfishingcan I just say that it's not an octopus hook but offset bait hook.
You said more about your retrieve than 99% of the videos out there....THANK YOU!!!!!!😊
Thanks Jorden.. appreciate it
@Wendell Fishing I just get pissed, all these vids and no one tells about the retrieve...fast, slow, top or bottom...and WHY are the doing the retrieve they are doing!!! Thanks for letting me vent lol 😁👍
@@JOovshak82 its the same retrieve on the drop shot in deeper water.
Exactly no one hardly no one ever mentions retrieve, seems like to me.
Agree just wish the video wasn't sped up
Hes also using a piece of clear shrink tubing on the worm so the hook doesnt tear it up as fast.
I just fished wacky couple of days ago, I’m try the clear tube on it, I’ve been using o rings, clear plastic looks better! Good video, my go to bait!
I use zman zinkerz worms. They do get more buoyant after soaking it for a while but a 1/16th oz whacky hook gets that fall rate back to normal and i never have issues of them tearing in the middle like yama senkos do so quickly. Id say 15:2 ratio fish caught on zman zinkerz to senkos in term of durability
i always throw the wacky rig with an o-ring
Yup those senkos rip up quick
I thought that was scotch tape haahaha
Probably the most versatile bait out their. Have been fishing the wacky worm for over 10 years. To save on the baits use a rubber ring so not to rip the bait with hook.
I literally use this in the spring,summer,fall, cold , hot, cloudy, sunny and it works everytime
ALLL DAY!
Agreed caught my pb on a senko like that with a ring, and they love it
The fish was 8.01 lbs
DAAAANNNGGG! Get some Chris!
facts the wacky worm slays
Right on brother
I use the o-rings and weedless hooks. It works great for fishing in and around weeds and grass.
Right on Jake...
I also use weedless hooks on frogs. I take the double hooks out and put weedless down. 10 X's hook ups.👍
@@JamesJones-cx5pk Solid
Okok 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾love to see people out fishing 💪🏾🫵🏾
Heck yeah! GET SOME!
I don’t know why I haven’t used this rig in so long. I just thought about how long it’s been and this short is making me want to try it out again like yesterday. Absolute classic man 👌🏼
Heck yeah.. just picked up 2 18's last week with it
I’ve never had any luck on a wacky rig, but a Texas rigged roboworm is my go to when the bite is tough
Nice!
i have a really hard time with hook sets on my texas rigs, but they are my daily driver because my lake is filled with logs and weeds. any tips for setting?
@@Aethelvladtry lighter gauge hook or different style worm hook what r u using now
I can fish every lure in my box and not catch a damn thing, but when I put the wacky on it’s time to catch some fish
Grant... you are in good company brother
I'm in NE Ohio and this I'd exactly how I feel, and it's very unfortunate. I'm obsessed with my tackle, lures, and baits. To the point where it's like I'm a collector at this point. Granted, when I'm in creeks or tribs, a lot of my cranks, spinners, roostertails, or even whopper ploppers will work to my advantage. However, most local ponds or inland lakes [since I don't have a boat or kayak unfortunately] I'm stuck to bank fishing, and I'd say about 90% of the time I'm only catching things with a wacky rig, a frog, or a Jig with a Craw trailer.. not necessarily COMPLAINING because I'm still catching them, but I wish I could feel the rush of nailing some on Spinner, or a chatterbait [legit have never caught one with a chatterbait 😑] a swim Jig, a Glide Bait, one of my deep cranks... it's such a bummer to have such cool gear that I use and use and use with no luck no matter all the techniques I research and try lol
@@dakota2842 yeah man a lot of lures are pretty much boat exclusive. Idk how y’all’s water looks up there but chatterbait near cover or grass, especially shallow, usually works. Same thing with spinnerbaits. Also remember to pop them every once in a while and play with your retrieval speed.
My absolute go-to, the king of Rigs.
Big facts there
Smart man... wacky and a ned rig. This guy knows his finesse game!
Nothing works better for me in the Midwest than these two lures. It's crazy.
@@wendellfishing same here man! I live in Indiana and started off power fishing with reaction baits. When the Wacky came out I jumped on it. Then the Ned and Niko rig. Those stick worms are so versatile. I use them in all 4 seasons and mainly stick with a finesse approach now. I dont blame you one bit brother! You got a decent pig to show for it!
@@billywood9717 Yeah.. people clown on me saying they are lures "that require no skill and catch everything" I don't know about you.. but that sounds like the perfect lure. Who would want to fish with the inverse?
@@wendellfishing lmao! Well said! Man Ive caught carp, crappie, bluegill, largies an smallies on the wacky. Its hilarious seeing people's reaction. I agree with them, idk why they bite it either... but they do an thats good enough for me! Lol thats what im in it for!
I just fished for 3 1/2 hours on the Kentucky river, used 4 inch senko didn’t catch one fish, I’m new to this though, hopefully I’ll get better over time, definitely going to use your tips
Just started using the wacky rig last year. It is now my confidence bait.
It's just plain deadly... Right on Chris
Thank you!!
Senko Wacky Rig is my go to for bass. I have so many different colors. Love my Senkos!
Right on CK... Interestingly enough.. I only use GP, GP with red fleck, or black senko's.
Same here, Senko all day. I use the 5in half green half white wacky rig with an o-ring and I’ve caught more bass on that than anything else
Been doing it with a Zoom finesse worm since ICast 1998 fishing show in Vegas. Learned a lot for sure.
Right on.. never tried it with a finesse worm before. Always something to learn
All Summer I’ve Been Smackin Bass With The ZMan Wacky Love It!!
niiiiice... do you weight that bad boy?
ive never heard of the wacky rig. Thanks!
Slay em brother!
Dude ....I watched this yesterday, try it today and got the biggest bass of my life! ❤
Heck Yeah Brother! Congrats!
Senkos are so much fun to fish
One of my favorites!
I live by this bass fishing method. Pike and pickeral love it also.
I’ll second this setup
Right on brother!
Thanks for the whacky tutorial. You’re a gem
hey.. everyone learned it for the first time... some time.
2/0 gamakatsu octopus hook is my choice. It is super consistent in hooking and landing bass while I keep seeing other people lose fish.
Right on Wrink.. I've seen Size 1 - 2/0 recco'd for this. Glad you are picking them up.
Great bait to add to the toolbox
Big facts brother!
I use the half blue half black as a year round bait. One of my go to baits anywhere I go
NIIIICE!
Love your videos!
Glad you like them!
Great video my man
Appreciate it
Excellent advice 👌
Glad it was helpful Joel!
Whacky rig is amazing, caught a 4 pounder bass with it
Another good way to fish the wacky rig is pull it up as far as you can and let it sink all the way to the bottom, then pull it up and let it sink again, do this the entire retrieve fishing it really slow. They’ll hit it on the fall. A wacky rigged Senko is one of my most confident lures when the bite is slow, along with a Texas rigged fluke with a 1/16th oz bullet weight, give it some pops then pause.
I don’t real it in after 5 pops cause I have them bite at bank all the time. Some places I agree like less pressured lakes but high pressure lakes I keep the worm in the water the whole time
Great short video to help learn a new rig or improve technique in its use!
Glad it was helpful!
Wacky rig is my all time favorite! Fun technique and caught my biggest “7Lb largemouth” bass on this setup! Didn’t even use the rubber in the middle just straight hook and worm.
Right on EZGray.. what state did you catch that in?
@@wendellfishing Mississippi!
@@Gray.1063 Right on!
My Fishing buddy fishes senko from the start and I use a small square bill Crankbaits to see which was better for that trip and both put on the same lure.
Who wins?
Great tip thanks
Glad to help
That's Right ✅️
Right on Bruce
@Wendell Fishing yes sir sinko's and yum dingers also. Green pumpkin purple flake is killer color now for me. 👍Good fishing 🎣
I just started using the wacky worm last year, and I love it! I prefer the magnum trickworm in watermelon red flake. Toss it into a hole in the grass and hang on!
Heck Yeah Ramblin... GET SOME!
I love this rig
Heck Yeah.. Get Some Jeff!
Said every fisherman ever 😂😂😂
Believe it or not, you didn’t know this at one point in your life
@@wendellfishing that logic could be applied to literally everything. Ever
Have that same zebco I love it
Dropped in saltwater and it's still good
Right on Matt!
He’s using a Lews spinning, reel and rod. Are you talking about the one that’s behind him or the one he’s using I mean I don’t know too many people that use Zebco anymore that was one of my first rods. The genesis in that thing worked great for 59 bucks shut up
@@kennyg3192oh those multicolored rods looked alot like zebcos. My PBS 8 I'm a very well experienced fishermen I still use ugly sticks and zebcos. Have s few nicer rods to
@@mattburke9554 when I first started fishing for bass and being competitive, and every chance I could get into a call my first small mouth on a Jirkbaits 13 years ago I was using live worms and I got on my buddies boat and I had my coffee my four rods!!! I turned around and try one up and set my rods. Accordingly, I turned around,🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ where is my worms go I said!!!! my best friends, father said boy I know you’re catching fish, but I’m a show you today how to have fun without running to Walmart or having to compost or go buy worms, he said, and you can even use this trick to catch some channel cat and rockfish, he threw me a bag of worms, paddle tail swim baits, some EWG, and worm hooks and he told me from that day I will be OK. He said just start buying to what you need for what lakes you’re going to be fishing and I fish all northern Baltimore County, Howard County, Macgomery County, some Virginia and western Maryland I do go to Solomons Island and my first few rides was the ZIP Code Genesis. I had the medium and the extra heavy, and then I bought me a Saint Croix’s legend tournament jerk, bait rod, and my jig and worm rod, I got me a Dobbins fury, medium heavy and then after that I started to realize after the years and years and years went by that things that were $400.08 years ago you can get for 120 today same make the same strength and some of the carbon modules are a lot better depending on how it’s made and I will see this arc rods are great and I’ve been landing big catfish on the cheapest series to me. It’s all about the drag system and how you set the hook it’s just like any tool or a drill you know everything‘s got its own way for me. I’m still trying to learn topwater. Do you know the only way I can strike bites six in the morning never caught number for whopper poppers, but poppers spook, Junior pencil poppers even hell raiser, and buzz baits was my first go to topwater, but if I’m not on the right water like this year, I’ve been stuck to four lakes I just don’t have the transportation right now because of me and my wife share a vehicle and my work is right near Lake Roland so it sucks and I’m in Baltimore city I got to drive deep into Virginia three hours away. If I want to get on some good trout or some good bass, Lock Raven had smallmouth in Baltimore city hitting good and then the last three years has been snakeheads up there deep so everybody that used to fish for largemouth bass is a bear one they called a dragon chasing the dragon is what they call it up here. I guess I’ve only got a few of them, but God bless you brother take care you got my email man you ever got any questions or have any good juicy stuff let me know man I’m always willing to try something out, record it and show somebody if it worked for me or if it didn’t. God bless you brother. Sorry for the damn notebook of conversation.
5 tugs and no bite is golden advice 90%of the time! The other 10% are those crazy ass end strikes that end up catching me some of the biggest bass I've caught. I would actually reel in 75%of my line after a few drop and pauses, then drop and pause to the shore after I figured that out.
GET SOME!
I slay smallmouth and large mouth in the local creek. Green and white are really good
Right on Brother... GET SOME !

Right on Brother..Love it
Works so well!
PREACH!
Little piece of shrink wrap in the center of the senko will make it last way longer
Big facts
I caught that same exact brand of worm in a net when I was net fishing, free worm, finders keepers
Agreed :)
When i was shown the wacky, i was told, "the beauty of this bait is, there's no wrong way to fish it."
Nice bass my dude!
GET SOME Brother!
Tried and true rig. It my go to in my home lake
Right on John!
I think my son has been using this for a few years, definitely catches some bass, even a catfish occasionally
Smart kid of yours!
@@wendellfishing he's trying feebly to be a semi professional fisherman. Has the equipment, but not really the time it takes
Yeah... it's a grind... all day.. and all night.

Right on Bass Snatcher.. I love the name BTW
@@wendellfishing dude appreciate it! i subscribed just now! check out the few shorts i have myself. my videos are simple but they’ll get better with time as i pick up my editing skills!
I use this all the time it’s awesome
Right on Carter!
Nice catches!
Thanks boss!
Works sooo good
soooo gooood
I somehow figured this technique out all on my own just by watching people do it. If it doesn't get bit, there's simply no fish in that spot lol I consistently catch fish out of my local pond, all sizes. Iv heard different colors work better at different times so I'm using a baby bass color kahlins wacko worm if anybody is curious, their worms seem really durable as well
That's how I feel about it... I'm pretty confident in my ability to find fish with the wacky rig.. if I ain't catching them.. they likely are not there
I have heard of that artificial worm thought it was a gimmick but after the way you demonstrated how to hook and fish it I'm buying some ...
They don't get much cheaper than this: geni.us/Dingers100Pack
I love wacky rig
Alll Day!
Tried this same method and caught my first bass (15 incher) from a dock
Good stuff
Ya.. my go to as well. Love it
Heck yeah.. Get Some!
@@wendellfishing headed to Ohkissa Tomorrow just for that very reason and I'm going to definitely have that set up bro
@@DV87777 Oh Yeah!!!!
@@wendellfishing Halftime.. lol 4 in the boat.
@@DV87777 NOIIIICE
Wacky worm is my favorite too but u need some weeds I also caught my first musky on it
Musky on a wacky worm.... wow.. did you land it?
I learned this rig years ago, but he broke it down on the retrieve better than most.
Thanks brother! Get some!
When in doubt dinger out!
Ahhhhh Yeah!
I’ve fished a wacky rig every single time I’ve been fishing for like the past 2 months and I’ve yet to catch a bass. I did catch a warmouth but they literally bit everything put in front of them. I will not give up!
That's unbelievable to me.. if there are fish there.. I have never had any trouble having them devour a wacky.
@@wendellfishing that’s the weird part about it cause im tossing it in all the likely areas for em to be. I can’t say it was a wacky rig but close to it, i was fishing a senko Texas rigged with a tiny split shot that helped it fall but it fell slower than if I had a bullet weight and I caught my last bass on that. Anyways I’m not gonna give up on the wacky rig, I’m confident it will produce, maybe I’m not using the right color, retrieve, etc. I’ll get it right eventually 🤝🏼
Nice catch good type of fish, sa na all😁
Thanks Dice.. appreciate it!
This is my go to rig, I hook this for wife and kids.
My daughters love this rig as well!
I love that rod and reel combo
Not a bad combo for the price!
What combo is it?
@@Alex-xs8tu Lew’s Speed Stick Combo
I pop and pause mine all the way in even caught some 3lbers right on the bank with the wacky so I definitely would keep going after 5 tugs bro bro js
I'm not saying you will never catchem after 5, after 20 years of using this rig, I will say with 100% certainty that catch rate percentage goes down after 5. 3lbers.. NICE!!! Get some brother!
About time for me to purchase! 😂
Heck yeah.. won't be sorry
You had me at Gamakatsu
Yeah.. I really don't use too many other brands of hooks anymore
Thats crazy ive never caught 1 with that rig
I will definitely have to try this more this summer! Tried it a little bit last summer but I wasn’t letting it fall long enough at first I think.
For sure.. the fall and pauses are the magic
You should toss it a couple feet out and watch it sink also when you tug it it comes up a little
nice one brother
Thanks!
Love it
Right on Jaxon
I have caught 10 bass this year using that it works great 🎣
Heck YEAH!!! GET SOME
I wish I could use this, but bass are rare in my area, they’ve been over fished and some people aren’t even sure if there’s bass in the lake anymore
Some of my favorite places to fish is where other have told me "There's no bass in here" :) Where do you live?
I set up my whacky style a bit different and the color I’m using very successfully is a 5 inch purple worm. I use the o-rings also with a red hook same size and I even had I perch 1 inch larger than my bait and almost tossed that as a lure.
Right on Dave.. thanks for the add
In AZ I let it fall till slack wait 5 seconds then a couple tugs and repeat. You'll be surprised how many bass eat it just siting on the bottom.
Big Facts
@@wendellfishing I also love tying on a weighted wacky hook with a 6.5" zoom trick worm. Caught some of my PB's on that rig.
Yeah, hooking it like that makes it danc in the water better than the traditional weedless method.
Right on brother!
Man that is my favorite
Right on... have fun with it... it will catch you a ton of bass
Best technique
Big facts there SBF
You are now the third person in the past day that recommended using a wacky rig... guess I outta give that a try!
When the bite is tough.. it produces. Get some!!!
