Whacky Riggin'
 
I was just curious as to who has tried this type of rigging.

I usually just Texas rig or Carolina rig my worms, but I think I'm gonna
give this a shot.

I have whacky rigged Senko style baits with very good success. I just toss
it to a likely location and let it sink to the bottom. Jig it up once or
twice, and then crank it in.

I pretty much use the same method of WW-ing but I,ve found that if I stop my
retrieve in mid retrieve, kill it and let it fall a few feet, I get bite
fairly often . I guess bass just follow it out of curiousity but can't
resist the wiggle
Last year [late fall] I experimented by using circle hooks instead of
traditional worm hooks and my catch rate went up a little . OR at least it
seemed to

WW Sencos have put a lot of bass in my boat. I really like it around
shallow (10') hard cover in clear water. It has nearly replaced the
jig&pig for those targets. Add in a bunch of grass edge fish and you've had
a good day.

A majority of my senkos cast last year were on size 1 gammy octopus hooks
wacky rigged. It's just a killer presentation. When I go out fishing I
usually have two rods just for senkos, 1 wacky rigged and 1 texas rigged for
those not so friendly exposed hook places.

But casting that wacky rig into some brush or sticks has paid off as well,
sure I've lost enough hooks but some nice fish have come out as well.

An often unweighted worm hooked through the middle (exposed point). Pretty
simple, but killer!

Wacky rigging is great. I throw 5" and 4" Senkos on Owner Mosquito or Reaction
WW Hooks when hangups are an issue.

Circle hooks prevent as many "gut hooks" which kill the fish even if you do
get the hook out with pliers. Good job!
