 Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 2:53 pm Post subject: Wacky rigging question |
 |
|
| I have had some recent luck experimenting with wacky rigging worms (caught a 4.5 lber last Sunday). My question is how do I make it weedless? I tried those weedless hooks but I still catch a lot of junk. I caught a ton of fish on spinnerbaits this past spring, but lately nothing, So I'm trying different stuff. |

Rich,
This thread: http://www.ctfishtalk.com/senkos-and-hooks-t1997.html had some information on wacky rigging and some comments about going more weedless.
The two suggestions, I believe were to use a hook with a wire weed guard (I think Gamakatsu makes one, and I'm sure others too) or to use a small hook and O-ring, which tended not to get too hung up.
Haven't tried either to be honest. I need to give a little more attention to wacky rigging; haven't been using senkos lately. Nice work on the 4.5 lber. |

| A dumb question, but does the weed guard go on the outside of the hook or inside clipped to the barb? With it inside, I collect a lot of junk. |

they clip the barb. the gamas are circle stylish, eagle claw uses a traditional stye of hook. I dont like them ,they seem to pick up weeds. the gamas hardly ever pick up crap, the weed guard is made of pastic real good hook sets the claws have a wire guard seemed to me harder to set hook .good luck

| Rich try this, take a #2 circle hook put it threw the eggsack of the senko or worm then swing the hook around and bury the tip in the worm |
