Wacky Worm Fishing

[LittleBigBass]

My buddy and I caught 9 bass at the last tournament in not so good conditions, with really, really murky water on the wacky rig...Buy O rings from bass pro, with the O ring tool, or just hook it through the center part, about 3 ribs up. Also, it helps to use hooks with a metal weed guard to keep from getting hung up. I use size 4/0 gamakatsu hooks, but you can use as small of a hook as you want, i just prefer the bigger hook. I typically use the wacky rig, about any time of the day when the fish are on beds, or have even slowed down. Try using a spinning reel combo and use the "Skipping" technique to get the wacky rig under overhang, to me it is a necessity to use a spinning reel when using the wacky rig, but that is just my preference...Skipping the wacky rig can really get you into nice little pockets under the bank, and can get it in the strike zone... Hope this helps, the wacky rig has by far caught 70% of my fish this spring.. I almost forgot, when you skip it under overhang, let it sink, and almost move your pole as if you were working a drop shot, just tatter it off the bottom slowly, Sometimes, the bass will move out to the middle and working the wacky rig in a random spot in the deep water will really catch fish.
