Wacky Rig Hook Ups
I’m new to wacky rigging and I have about a 66% hook up. I’ve tried with the O-rings and without. Still struggling with the hook up and landing of bass. Any tips on gear, rigging, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
I watched John Cox video on soft stick baits earlier today and it was very helpful! You should check it out!
what hook you using?
Gamakatsu is a awesome hook manufacturer. But
They have a hook labeled wacky/drop shot.
The hook is a mistake. Here is why , if you hold it level with your eyes you can see the point lines up with line tie, therefore leaving hardly any gap to hook the fish with plastic bait in the mix. I bring this up because of two reasons, you may be using a brand that looks the same. Or you use this hook because its labeled as the one to use. And its wrong. Now if compare it to say the Aaron Martens G Finesse hook which gamakatsu makes as well you will see the difference.
Also what hookset style you using? If swinging in em as if it a texas rig hookset there could be your problem. Now lot pros use a big strait shank hook.
that would help too , but me pereonally I dont like all the extra hook , visually it makes me lose confidence.
