Wacky Rig Hooks...what do you use?

[RumRiverRat]

Honestly I have never used a wacky rig.

Going to add it to my bag of tricks this year to see what all the hype is about.

What hooks do you use for Senko style baits and Baits like Ring Fry?

Thanks.

[Deitz Dittrich]

The widegap finesse hooks by gamagatsu is what I have always used.. I have a bud that uses mustad long shank with a weed guard.. I recently just bough the new wacky hook by Gamagatsu with a weed guard built on a kahle style hook and look forward to using it this summer.

I use an o-ring around the worm and a circle hook.No need to set the hook,self hooking usually in the corner of the mouth......

Bought the same Gammy as Deitz. Mainly because he said he would beat me up if I didnt.

[beakgeek]

Are you guys using the 2/0 gamagatsu?

[RumRiverRat]

Got a model# on the hook?

I think I located the Kahle style hook on a few websites.

[Cecil]

It's called the wicked wacky. I bought some 2 and 3's. Model number is 306414 I think

Gammy 2/0 straight worm hook with weed guard spring thingee.

Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG worm hook in red.

VMC drop shot hook.. not sure what size, but it's not a big hook by any means.

[TonkaBass]

I like the Gammy 1/0 Splitshot drop shot after its bent like Aaron Martins bends them and the owner one is good too.

I us whatever's handy... I have some Gamakatsu weedless finesse wide gaps that work pretty good. I have some Owner wacky hooks that are good - plus they're rgeen, so they're cool looking. Mosquito hooks are fine and I use them a lot since I have scads of them for drop shotting. Northland weighted weedless wacky hooks are pretty slick too.

I don't think it matters too much, as long as the hook gap is about twice the width of the plastic.

[Religion_Of_Fish]

Agree with some above, Gamakatsu Drop Shot, but I by no means am an expert whaky-er. Anything with a wide enough gap to get the worm on and leave the tip exposed with it resting in the inflection point of the hook works for me.

[Larson15]

Owner wacky hook.

[PerchJerker]

Kahle hooks. I really like them. It's a confidence thing

[hockeybc69]

Kahle hooks are the cats meow for wacky.....

Nothing better.

[BassNut33]

I use Northland weighted weedless wacky hooks.

[MN BassFisher]

I have fished wacky rigs a lot in the last two years and have caught a lot of bass. I think I prefer a weighted hook, it makes it fall a bit erratically and I've had better success. Maybe it's a confidence thing, I'm gonna try to find some with weed guards this year!

[BAIT956]

On Deitz' advice above, I ordered some of the new wicked wackys in 2/0.

I have used the finesse weedless wide gap in the past. Only problem was the weed guard getting twisted up after a couple of fish. Hope the new model will help this problem.

[kaine]

gomakatsu finesse weedless or regular 3/0 and 4/0 these are all i use.

[KickNBass]

This is kind of an interesting way to try Wacky rigging and it really protects/saves your Senkos.

Buy a couple bass'n nuckleball jigs from fin-tech and some small rubber bands and you're set.

The weight of the jig is hardly noticable on the drop but helps in the cast.

I use the hair rubber bands I stole from the wife:
