I really enjoy fishing with a wacky rig. Nothing skips better under docks and flooded brush along the bank. You can even take couple of feet of leader, put a barrel swivel, put a small weight on the end, and thread your hook in between so that it freely slides and use it to fish a wacky rig super deep without having to wait hours for it to fall (thanks, Matt Stefan!)
Thanks again Randy! Best “JUICE” on the net and I never leave the ramp without a wacky rig set up.
Great tip Randy. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and tips with us. It’s 18 degrees in Nashville but I hope this was the last freeze from Mother Nature.
It is the same temperature here in Ohio too and we are hoping this is the last of the cold weather.
I’m in Nashville also, the morning it’s 70 I’m at work..or asleep from working night shift! Can’t wait for it to regulate and no be so crazy, 30 degree swing within hours!
Hah! In Maryland here it snowed 6 inches yesterday but is 30ish degrees. I took the kayak out today
I dont use o rings in tourneys ! You say it dosent fall naturally!! I dont think a senko is a natural bait!! What is it supposed to be ? Unfortunately anyone can catch fish on them ! Realy no skill to it ! They should be banned in tourneys!! Like forward face n sonar ! Lol
Exclamation points should be banned from all social media.
YUM dingers…. Berkley fusion 1/0 weedless No modifications necessary and you can put on an absolute smoke show skipping docks with the dreaded braid to flouro leader on a spinning rig!!!
You ain't finesse wacky until you try a size 6 drop shot hook 2lb floro and tube tentacle trust me it works
I’m sure this is not the place,but anyway I got my jigs I just wanted to take a minute to say thank u I look forward to using them can’t wait again THANK YOU
Thx for the great video Randy! When you use this rig do you normally use spinning rod or casting? Guessing maybe medium or medium light rod for this presentation? Thx
Great video! What are your other 2 out of top 3 bass catching baits?
Have been wacky rig 30 years, I use a zoom 6inch dead ringer with a piece of none lead solder. Got to have the tail wiggle on the fall,it imitates a blue gill SWIMMING down!!! Watermelon with chartreuse on the tail my favorite and black at night.
The best hook I like is a gama g lock I wacky everything up to a 10 inch black worm at night tournament money in the bank.
Thanks for the tips! I like to use 2 o-rings, and hook the bait through the "cross" or "x" so it sits like a traditional wacky rig. Seems to be a good middle ground so far 👍
I'm also becoming a huge fan of z-man and similar "elaztech" plastics; those things are almost indestructible! Hard to get a rattle in 'em though
On that note, clear shrink tubing seems to work the best, but I have a bunch of old wacky rings that I don't have any other use for 🤷
A wacky rig isn’t rigged with the hook along with the lure, it’s supposed to be sideways. Neko rigs hooks line up with the worm.
@@rickyrodriguez9831 I understand that; you can put 2 o-rings on a senko and rig your hook perpendicular to the bait like a standard wacky rig with no ring (you could also do a neko rig and set the hook parallel, but there's no reason to use 2 rings for a neko rig). I'm no artist, but to give you a rough "bird's eye view", --->|
Try heat shrink tubing in 3/8th for stick baits or 1/4th for trick or finesse worms. U can rig the hook the right way and they make the worm last awhile!!! I've had 1 yum dinger last 10 fish or more!
3” Senko is great around the spawn. It’s also a great bait for stream fishing in the summer for Smallmouth and Trout. Tournament fishing I use 10 lb braid tied directly to the hook. 4lb mono stream fishing or fun fishing. My team partner freaks out if I fish 4lb line. The light braid doesn’t seem to negatively affect my success and I can man handle a decent size fish with it.
Wow!! You gave away my secret for big small mouth bass. Oh well. This is a great bait. I use a 3 inch fat senko. Catches everything!
It definitely works..buddy outfished me 2 or 3-1 today in dirty water..while I was throwing a small lipless.
Yum makes a nice 4” that I have had success with. Root Beer looking color WTH a bright yellow tail.
Im gonna go hit some backwoods ponds at around daylight in the morning...im gonna give this one a shot. I know a regular wacky rig is absolutely deadly up there.
Green pumpkin for me baby, but you do you. I’m sure any color can work well in the right circumstances
fat senkos work well wacky rigged to..watermellon red,black flake and faded watermellon.6 lb line is key.eveytine u throw it expect a fast hit.they are not shy on this worm.and i think you will definitely add a few more to your # on it
I can bet that you'd be lucky to catch 1 or 2 bass per day at the small lake I fish out here in California..no comparison to the lakes you fish and with electronics.
another great wacky rig is thd zappu tungsten head with a jacjall grn ppk candy or cola worm.only instead of lettin it hit bittom first you just let it sink say if 8 ft deep fall to 4 ft then start givin it short pops every sec or 2.this it the active wacky way compared to the standard weighless slow fall standard
Idk about this one
Sometimes I put a little puff of 420 on mine
Ha
How about the water in the lakes in Florida with much warmer water. Will this wacky rig work in these conditions ?
Good to know the 3 inch work so well. Was curious about how little action it might have, being so short. Thank you Randy.
The gamakatsu G-finesse stinger is the best hook for wacky/neko imo. Surprised you don't use that hook Randy. Size 1 for 5 inch senko and I would say a size 2 would work well on that smaller stick bait.
Randy, what do you think of the VMC Crossover system?
Great tips. And yes, that Bridgford jerky is the best. Always take a bag fishing, great source of protein.
Randy thanks for all that you do for the bass community. Have not tried the 3” yet but will. Something that has improved my hook up ratio with less harm to the fish are thin wire circle hooks. If you can let us know what you think about circle hooks in future videos. Can’t wait for Mental Monday tomorrow.
This is the way before the o rings, and they will pick up anything when on their beds🤨
Yum dingers work great 👍and I use a four inch senko also. No o rings for me.
Whenever I am feeling down and need a good laugh I can always count on your click bait.
Stumbled upon this technique and boy he is not lying
Would you ever wacky rig other plastics such as tubes, craws, or lizards?
Compared to the cost of losing jerkbaits in sunk wood, why is the number of fish per plastic worm a significant issue?
I already know I’m a clueless newbie. I don’t need anyone rubbing it in.
That’s actually really similar to how i fish the floating worm all year
When I can't catch them on anything else the wacky rig is my go to.
I use 2 “O” rings and crisscross them so the hook is pointing correctly and it doesn’t seem to bother the fish any but who truly knows if something thats foreign to us bothers the fish or do they think it’s just stripes on the worm, you can also put a piece of rubber tubing through the middle and glue it in ahead of time before you go fishing and that saves on baits too
Thanks Randy that's some good s*** there
Down size your wacky. Do what, lol
Hey @Randy I’ve been following your channel for some time. Great stuff. I have been using your “roughen-up” technique on my wacky rig and love it in ultra clear water (Lake Lanier). I just posted a new video (mentioning your tip) where i caught a bunch of big spotted bass and largemouth bass skipping docks. Check it out on my channel. Thank you!
Rigging one tomorrow, thank you
saludos from mexico
Hi Randy,
After trimming the Ned Rig, approximately how long is it?
Thanks!
Sponsored by GYCB for many years now. It is without doubt a fishing catching machine….
This is an interesting take on the technique.. I used to,fish with those smaller plastics in the North. We called them, French Fries….
Thanks for the share !
Watch your live scope while waiting for the rig to sink! Sorry couldn’t resist! Great channel and that bridgeford jerky is good stuff.
OK, I’m off to sportsman‘s warehouse right now to go get that stuff. I don’t wacky worming because I don’t have confidence in it, but I’m gonna try this set up and see what happens. Hold on!!
I actually use a 3 inch stick bait just like you're saying here, and I've caught some gooooood bass out here round my ways.
Love that bait,patience is the key,let it fall with a loose line so it doesn't arc back,I drew Bret Ehler in nor cal,he used a sinko half the day,he has amazing feel with plastics, great show.
I wish I would skip docks on the St. John’s river wit 6lbs on a wacky rig. I’d get bit and my feelings hurt.
We caught close to 30 fish on our 5” Phat Bat this past weekend skipping them under docks . Great modification Randy
I use the 2-ring crossed wacky rigging because I carry all my gear in my backpack. So that means that sometimes I have just 2 or 3 of one bait; don't always carry a full pack due to limited space. I use clear rings for natural colors and black rings for dark baits.
I will definitely be giving this one a try! It's like a wacky Ned rig. I literally have 3700s full of ring worms, frys and slider worms sitting on the shelf. 😁😁🎣🎣
VMC crossover rings are the deal, check them out. There not like the standard o-ring. You can use the slot on them for neko or wacky. There nice! Thank me later 👊
The new vmc o rings i believe there called crossovers are awesome. They have two ways to hook them for neko or wacky and ive been loving them.
They come in black, clear and several other colors. Definitely one of the best out there. I dont think a bass cares about an o ring
@@jamesbarron1202 yes always did that instead of one anyways because one rips your senko after casting a couple time
@@jamesbarron1202 1 vmc is better looking for your presentation than 2 o rings and the vmc are awesome for neko rigs
@@jamesbarron1202 agree like i said a bass doesnt care about an o ring.. but the vmc are a better presentation in my opinion and opinions are like assholes everyone has one and they stink 😄
@@jamesbarron1202 use to do that until i got the vmc rings and havent gone back. They fit alot tighter and the tiny plastic hole that the hook goes through makes it almost impossible for it to slide off the hook. 2 orings work but this is just better and for 5$ for a years worth of orings im not complaining saying ill go through 2 bags of senkos some days
randy, you just gave away my big crappie secret. yes I do catch tons of bass when they are mixed in my crappie spots. thanks, at least you didnt mention crappie.
I really like to throw the wacky rig In my local ponds. It seems to always catch fish. I’ve made believer’s out of a lot of my friends.🎣🎣😎
Yeah behind jerkbaits wacky rig is my favorite most effective technique!
Hey Randy, I like to see the line swim off straight too. I'm excited to give it a try and Go wacky this season !
Oh and Randy I always have watermelon seed color worms because around where I live it seems if you can’t get a bite a watermelon seed will produce
I really like this tip. I fish Smith Mountain Lake in VA and this is going to be great.
Love this lil worm! I use the O-rings but I still hook it through the middle and cross two O-rings so you don’t lose your worm but you still get the same fall as you would when you hook it through the middle
I wouldn't say don't use o-rings but use the shrink tube style rings and you get the best of both worlds, it allows you to still thread the hook through the middle while forming a kind of shield around it for longevity of the bait.
When you rough the bait up do you add scent after? Seems like it would transfer oils and scent from your hands to the bait? I am sure they will bite it but as far as holding onto it longer?
Yep garlic bang
I had wondered about that myself. Seems like you would be rubbing human scent on the bait.
I store my plastics in a ziplock sandwich back with enough garlic salt to coat the worms. The salt roughs up the surface, the garlic adds scent, and the combo makes handling and roughing easier. Most of it washes off in the water and takes the skin oils with it.
We need to get Randy more subs so he can afford another set of scissors so he doesn’t have to use diagonal cutters. 😂 The ocd in me cringes every time.
Ooo. I use those little senkos but i never wacky rig em. Ima try it Randy!
Randy could you put a little weight out in front for deeper applications or maybe tungsten puddy on the hook
Zoom Double ringer or fish doctor is a better finesse' approach.
Snatched up a limit on wacky yesterday on the delta ..definitely try if u haven't
I’ll try that in guntersville in a couple weeks. Thanks
Late night tips in the"Tackle Room"🤓Loving loving this tip😊😊😊
Matt Stephan did a great video of inserting rubber tubing and running a hook through that. It looked like an awesome modification
do you use o-rings when skipping or is that a different setup altogether?
As soon as it thaws out here in Ohio I will have to give this a try. I have watched a lot of your videos and you always mention about "roughing" up the softbait, it is unreal as to how much it changes when you do this. As always thanks for these great tips!! :)
Your top shelf Randy thanks for sharing!
Awesome secret!!!
zoom finesse smokin blue .bass crack.i use matzuo octopus hooks 6# mono
Thanks for the tip. The wacky rig is just a great way to get lots of bass.
Thats a 4 inch
I don't use o-rings either and I smack em.
Racky wig
That is my go to bait I am new to fishing and I fish it all the time thanks for all you do
Thx man
@@randyblaukatintuitive I am on the lake now and I am about to throw it for awhile
Keep the secrets coming, Randy!
I have always used the 4 1/2 zoom finesse worm wacky rigged with number 1 or 2 octopus hook on a Medium Light extra fast spinning rod to get that small light bait out there. Works miracles when the bite is tough. Green pumpkin magic is the most versatile color, but scuppernong with blue flake or whatever flake you want is good too. Good luck out there.
I've used those. That bait really flaps like a bird! Caught a ton with those a few Summers ago.
Thanks for the tips Randy!!
Let it soak, great analogy 👍 thanks
Do you add a weight?
Thanks for the info and idea!!
Thanks for the video
Good stuff!! As always!!
Laugh out loud!!!😂😂
Good tips randy
Love that jerky
Good stuff Randy!
🤫 🤫
Thank you for all your insight!
👍
👍😎❤️
Really like your ideas and share them with my buddies. I’m not a fan of o rings and seems smaller baits on pressured areas are key .. thanks
Thanks for the tip randy..I use the arsenal wacky tube its clear and its a 1/4" wide and its $3 for 15 i can hook either way through it and it does not affect the presentation in my tank test it looks better than before in my opinion. To each his own, when you buy all your baits having them last through several bites is key
I use clear heat shrink, and yea, I don't see any reason to through bait away for no reason
Thanks for the tip Randy. Do you use a light weight wacky jig head on these in clear water?
This wacky is not finessy enough.
