Whacky Rigging Salt Stick Worms
I have had several fish get off on me throwing Senko clones in the last few
outings. I figured it was just me not getting a good hook set, but this morning I had one come unbottoned that I can't figure out. I tossed it up against a line of pencil tulies and I quickly noticed line starting to feed out. I closed the bail and cranked in all my slack line before setting the hook. I got a good hookset and managed to drag the bass out of the tulies along with a couple of the fore mentioned tulies. I was dragging him along with one of the weeds when he gave a good wiggle and came off. I am currently using straight Mustad 2/0 weed guard hooks for this. When I first started throwing stick worms whacky style I was using unguarded bait holder hooks in #2 and #4 sizes. I definitely do not remember losing this many fish on them. Any suggestions? -- Public Fishing Forums Fishing Link Index www.YumaBassMan.com webmaster at YumaBsssMan dot com

Bob, those wire weedguard hooks suck. Learn to tie your own weedguards out
of monofilament line & your problems will be solved. Warren -- http://www.warrenwolk.com/ "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ...

Reaction Innovations makes a Weedless Wacky Hook with a mono weedguard. I've
heard good things about them. I have not tried any yet, but I have a couple of packs to try. They are made with a Kahle style hook and the mono looks to be fastened to the hook shank with some type of wrapping. They even left a small loop so the hook can be used as a drop shot hook and the tag end fed through the loop to keep the hook positioned properly.

Whacky Rigging Salt Stick Worms
When I saw the topic, I knew Warren would be the first to respond as we
both watched fish come unbuttoned using weedguards last year at Dale Hollow. I think it was Sean who suggested when wacky rigging to rig it like you were gonna tex pose it, leave the hook inside, The senkos and senko knock offs are soft enough to pull that hook through with a good hook set. I rig my wacky rigs on a 1/0 octopus hook and fish some nasty stuff, now I do occasionaly lose rigs this way but I also do not miss many fish when the do hit, and when they are hooked they usually do not come off.

Well I got my order today and the hooks look great but the tubes I ordered
don't match the color chart. A little disappointing. What color tubes did you get? You can get all the Reaction Tubes at TackleWarehouse.com with free shipping. Brad Coovert 2003 Angler of the Year, Greenfield Bassmasters http://www.greenfieldbassmasters.com
