Senko wacky rigging

I have heard of guys using electrical tape or some type of plastic band
to support the hook penetration area. Is that a common way to beef up
the area? Just how is it done and does anyone have a link to a webpage
showing it?

Thanks

The most commonly used options are neoprene O-rings from a hardware store
or "cigar bands cut from a large tube bait. If using the 1st option, you
don't pass the hook through the bait at all. Just hook the O-ring on.

So what are these o-rings called(in which area of the store) if I went
looking for them in my local Home Depot?

Thanks

Call em "o-rings". Find em in the plumbing section. Generaly found in
smaller organizer boxes along with other types of seals.(that's what
an o-ring is, a seal) They look like black rubber O's.

I have not heard of anyone using tape but I guess that would work.
Rubber O rings are common and I suppose a plastic zip tie would also
work. It doesn't really beef up the area. The idea is to slip the O
ring or whatever on the worm and then slide the hook through the O
ring. The O ring then holds the hook instead of the worm. That way
when the fish strikes the worm doesn't get tore up.

Hope that helps.

Mike
