Another wacky-rig technique...

[jdoyle5599]

Hi Guys:

I live down south so our fish spend a lot of their time in fairly deep water. I live near a very clear impoundment that is heavily fished so a guy needs an edge anywhere he can get one. I use to quit my wacky rig when the fished moved into their deeper summer haunches. But then I was talking to a buddy who would use a 1/4 - 5/16 oz wide gap jig head on his 5" senkos and shake it on the humps our fish locate on in the summer. Since then I can tell you I have caught a ton of fish on this rig when nothing else would work. I think it's because most guys don't use this rig and the fish haven't seen it too much in that 25 - 50 foot water column. You might give it a try next time the fish just don't seem to want that jig. I just cast it out - let it settle to the bottom and pick it up slowly and shake it a little bit and then pick up the slack. The bite is like a jig bite ( kinda like you have hooked into a wet wash rag and you are dragging it). Anyway, you might give it a try. p.s. - if it works for you - then start slipping a small piece of plastid tubing over the worm sack area and this will keep the senko from tearing up so badly.

Hey Deitz:

Thanks for the drop shot tip - I will try it our this weekend. Think I will stick with my little 4" worm - but never thought about a wack rig on o drop shot.

I guarantee the jig wacky rigged will catch you fish.
