Using the wacky rig close to the surface is something I started doing after catching a nice large mouth on a wacky while hung up in tree . I was bank fishing an old gravel pit. I had started out about 6 am and by noon I had caught some nice fish and was getting a little tired. I made a cast and my line got hung up in a tree. Well the cool shade and soft breeze was feeling pretty good so rather than fight to get my line free, I thought I would take a little break. I had managed to let some line out and got the lure to lower til it was just on the surface while still wrapped around the branch. I then laid back for a nap. I did occasionally twitch the line with my finger. I dozed off this way. I was awaken by my pole being dragged toward the water. A big bass was headed for deep water with my lure. I grabbed my pole and set the hook. After a good fight with the bass breaking out the water several times I got him in. A 5 1/2 lb’er. It was the First time I caught a bass while hung up in a tree AND while sleeping. Since then whenever I get a little tired I throw a wacky rig over a branch and take a nap.
The #1 VMC Neko hook with an offset solves any hookup issues with an O-ring. The VMC Crossover ring also solves the issue and provides much better hookups than a O-ring.
Have done this for 30years , I use a gama g lock and bend the point out a little. Great hook up , I use 3 0 size and for deeper water I use a piece of solder in the head burry it in the plastic. Sencos are great but my favorite is a zoom dead ringer 6 or 8 inch with solder in the front and it will swim down like a blue gill. Great in grass and docks!!!!
1976 the wacky rig was called the Twink Worm. A 6 inch Creme Scoundrel was used because it was a more dense, sturdier worm. It was featured in a summer 1979 BASSmaster article.
Thanks, Randy! I started rigging this way this year and have had much more success! I also noticed you can rig the worm slightly off center and it will give an action smallmouth can't resist. I've been doing well on smallmouth so far this year in northern Michigan.
Get a 3/8” clear tubing, cut them however wide you want. I prefer 3/8” wide. Slide senko through it and use a lighter to shrink it on once you have it where you want it. Put hook through the shrink perpendicular to the senko.
I fish Senkos. I also double a rubber hair elastic in the middle of the bait the place the hook where the elastic forms an X. The hook is now at a right angle to the stick bait. I also use a 4/0 wacky finesse hook. I seem to have many fewer miss fish, and I’ll twitch the bait on a semi tight line all the way to the bottom. My typical lakes are very clear and on a bright day can see depth up to 12 feet. 11:39
I don't use the o-rings much anymore....simply because of what Randy said about how the hook lays on the bait. That said, I would think if a fish could see an o-ring, it could see a hook. But, I digress... This is the first time I've heard anyone say anything against using a circle style hook, the point of which I thought was to keep the fish from swallowing the hook. Regardless, I'll try both, as I've got nothing to lose. And, a HUGE thank you for mentioning not purposely targeting spawning bass. That's as much of a problem as anything else it seems, these days.
Great tips and I have noticed I loose more and hook more too deep with Owner & Gamakatsu light wire octopus style. A few trips back I decided to try a 2/0 Gamakatsu EWG and it worked great and landed almost every one.
My favorite fishing channel Always warm and fuzzy. Here in Northern California we’re about a month behind with all our weather. I’ll be trying out all kinds of new baits and techniques for me including wacky rigs, drop shots and Neko rigs. I want to do it right and with confidence of course. This is where I come before I make any decisions about tackle technique or strategy This Channel is Gold
A good trick to rig a wacky rig is to get some old fountain pen springs, stretch spring out a little bit and screw it into the worm and trim ends of spring off. Rig hook through the spring. Your bait will last longer.
Bass are afraid of O Rings. They don't see them naturally in their environment like they do wires and blades on spinnerbaits and A rigs. Most baitfish have plastic bills on their nose and pieces of grass stuck to their belly and treble hooks look just like that. Also a lot of the things bass eat wear skirts. Bass will try to eat a 3/4 oz weight that is dragging the bottom in front of a rage bug on a C rig because it looks like a bullet bug which is common in all freshwater. Haven't you dug up and earthwork before and seen a hook stuck through it?
I see this type of comment all the time on Randy’s videos. It makes no sense. You can catch the fish without the strike deterrent o-ring. You however cannot catch a fish without the strike deterrent hook. The o-ring is unnecessary, so he is saying to minimize these unnecessary strike deterrents. These types of comments are flat brimmed and ignorant.
My favorite way to fish is a waky senko! Been using since middle of February in alabama. But I use a circle hook for 20 years and never loose fish or miss fish with a circle hook. Now if I hook in the tip I lime a straight hook...
i watched this video the other day . Went to local tackle shop.=, bought some #1 Gamakatsu hooks and the pumpkin with chartreuse worms. . And I used a panorama ghost pro shad. ill always use this in all waters . i really smoked them whileb others at our farm pond watched.
I love you Randy but the rubber O ring is going to be a strike deterrent because the fish get up close but the hook isn't? They're not going to see the hook. I think you're giving the fish two much credit. I catch a ton of fish every spring on wacky and neko rigs using an O ring.
Agreed. I use the VMC offset rings which are amazing. I seriously doubt a tiny o ring makes any difference. The hook is much more visible than any o ring and it still works with a hook on the rig
Those “collars” u r ca.long them are crossover rings and they do not force it to the side for wacky. There are 2 ways to place the hook one for wacky and the other for Neko. I use them all the time and catch tons of fish. Simko lasts longer also.
Question for the people losing fish to circle hook wacky set ups. Are you trying to set the hook with a crazy hook set? Circle hooks set themselves if you just keep the rod pointed at the fish and reel.
The lure that catches the most fish for me, will admit I fish it a lot but rarely zero because of it. Never used the O ring, just seems unneeded, I do use different hooks, some times drop shot and circle hooks, can't remember loosing a fish because of it. I also will sometimes put small screws in each end if I want to change the speed of the fall.
I use a 1/4" wide, 3/8" clear shrink tube and place it about mid-worm. Avoids the look of the black wacky ring, and you can hook the rig the "correct" way.
Is there a water temperature you like to have when using the “shake just under the surface technique” that you mentioned? Are suggesting i.e. - 70+ degrees in the post spawn period?
Hey Randy thanks for the great video I see you use a different hook and then I see the hook john cox uses his hook is really small . He claims the small hook hooks them better I don't think so I use the mustad 1/0 Titan hook .
Randy, when do you prefer the neko rig? Ive had days the wacky did well and other days they prefer that neko rig, but i havent really figured out when or why the difference. It did seem that aroung cypress trees they typically like the neko better, but not always.
Excellent video 👍. The senko is all I use and ned rig. Z man . Both killers 🎣. Hopefully a video is made about the ned rig &z man. Never used the plastic coller Keep making the videos
The o rings seemed like they were a good idea, but I've had small bass steal my worm by slipping it off the o ring. I even saw one bass barf my worm up and I had no way to get it back! so I stopped using them.
Hey Randy, how do you know what lures/baits to take with you on an outing? I have more tackle than I would like to take with me. I love the videos and they have helped me out a lot. Thank you.
Could have fooled me. Small circle hooks seems to stick better than a larger flipping hook. Ring tends to save my plastic and the bass domt seem to mind it. Cant say i have watched one on ffs stop and get a closer look to check for orings, they just smash it. Tight lines!
I love your channel and I'm a subscriber but one question. I understand the not using an o-ring because of the way it sits effecting the movement and the hook up ratio, but do the bass really shy away from a bait because of an o-ring when there is a silver/bronze hook right there as well? Trying to build my knowledge not sharpshoot you so any personal experiences you have had is helpful.
wacky worm gets bit more often than not (in my case). I'll try my other baits I have yet to catch a bass on to challenge my self (jig, top water, and jerk bait) but when I want feel the bite and reel a bass in, wacky worm never fails.
I like the wacky rig up small ones or bigger ones up to 10 inch Worm not you can do it Rong. People say to put the hook the direction of the worm I say no to that. Go through the center best. Nice video clean.
If you take your wacky rig and cross it over itself to form an “X” you can still get the proper hook lay. I still prefer to not use any rings and use Mend It glue for repairs
Sure your worms are free. At $9 a bag hooking thru the bait gets bit off right away from a blue gill or rock bass. At least with a wacky ring or small piece or clear tube you can use it a lot and catch multiple fish.
I lost a local tournament because I was using a o-ring. I lost by 2 pounds, but I lost 4 good fish that would have been a major upgrade. No more o-rings for me !!
Agreed. If you are catching dinks, it does not matter how you rig it. Oring, 2 Orings, or straight theu the worm. They will tear the it up. KVD ocho's straight thru the worm works just as good
Zlinkys are made from biodegradable doa plastic much more life like than regular soft plastics, best wacky hook was made by falcon they weighted them as well as no weight, sure wish someone else would come out with a replacement
I wonder why wacky rigged fisherman don’t try screwing in a hitchhiker into the middle of the stick bait , seems like it would save losing ur stick bait
Yep, that's all I use, with an O ring. Killer on Smallmouth. Fish almost hook themselves, just sweep rod a bit. Can't remember ever having fish shake off. Baits last a long time.
the o-rings are terrible, i would often cast my worm off the hook. i buy clear plastic pieces from a guy on ebay that are actually like a collar and they work great. i switched to them due to how much longer the bait lasts rather than just hooking it. i use yamasenkos and they are too expensive to lose on every fish
The most important aspect of wacky rigging is ignored here: how does the giant flipping hook come through weeds, dock legs, and other structure? There is no way it's better than small, light wire wacky, circle, octopus, and neko hooks in this regard. Also, the big hook increases the fall rate which is surely not good in anything under 6' or so. ???
I think you're off the mark on this one, sir! I fish wacky and neko rigs quite extensively and you won't convince me that a bass will see a black keeper ring on a junebug worm and not see that huge hook that you are suggesting. I disagree, but hey if it works for you...by all means go for it!
I didn't know about the stretching and roughing-up of the worm to give it more action. Thanks for that tip, Randy.
I could listen to Randy talk fishing all day. He's just in a zone, and u can tell the passion he has for fishing. Can't wait for his FFS seminar! LMAO

don't always agree with you on Live-scope, but your fishing knowledge is some of the best on You tube in my opinion.

If you use 2 o-rings and cross them to form an x you can slide your hook under that sideways and save wear and tear on your worms
I been doing that a long time. I kept playing around trying to rig with a ring but having the hook opposite cross instead of in line. Works great
Not 1 but 2 strike deterrents
Been doing this for years the guy talking about O-rings being strike deterrent, must be his own strike deterrent…
@@BakersfieldBassFishingLOL
Nice video Randy on wacky rig. You explained everything easy to understand and I look forward to trying your technique this spring
I use clear heat shrink tubing. Works amazing, and the hook very rarely comes out. Senko lasts longer too.
Do you mind sharing more on how you set that up? Sounds interesting.
Get a 3/8” clear tubing, cut them however wide you want. I prefer 3/8” wide. Slide senko through it and use a lighter to shrink it on once you have it where you want it. Put hook through the shrink perpendicular to the senko.
@@robwright3064where you get the tubing?

VMC Neko hook also works great. With or without weed guard.
I love the vmc neko hooks. I swear the offset helps pin them to the hook
They’re definitely the best
Exactly what I use
Best way I’ve found as well
The only hook i use for wacky rigging.
Thank you Randy for the technique on how to fish this setup. I was never sure how to do it but I thank you for sharing....

Hope you can get out this weekend cause the bite should be on with this weather finally warming up this weekend
Sacramento ca here.
I used this technique yesterday with a blue worm and hammered them. Thanks Randy.
Thank you Randy for those tips. Im a bank angler. I am going to stop working the wacky rig all the way back to shore now. 😊
A good trick to rig a wacky rig is to get some old fountain pen springs, stretch spring out a little bit and screw it into the worm and trim ends of spring off. Rig hook through the spring. Your bait will last longer.
Thanks Randy, I had forgotten about working the salt up in the worm. It does makes a difference for sure!
My whole fishing experience is from this channel. Love it
Thanks man I appreciate that!
It’s videos like these Randy why started watching your channel
Randy, for the rubber hook rings try it with two rings used in an X shape over the hook. This way the hook point stays perpendicular to the worm.
dont use an o ring because its a strike deterent but the bass wont see the massive flipping hook lol
Bass are afraid of O Rings. They don't see them naturally in their environment like they do wires and blades on spinnerbaits and A rigs. Most baitfish have plastic bills on their nose and pieces of grass stuck to their belly and treble hooks look just like that. Also a lot of the things bass eat wear skirts.

I like the b10 stinger hook from gamakatsu.
Great stuff, Randy. Thank you.
I use the clear VMC Crossover rings and you can’t even see those where they are clear and catch several on one worm but each to their own
Yeah, those things are the bomb and they allow you to use smaller hooks as the hook is just above the worm.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to giving these a fair chance this spring
You are a fishing scientist, thanks.
You are exactly correct about the o rings. I tried them, but like you said I didn’t have a good hook up ratio at all. Good advice.
Randy, why is the rubber collar a visual strike deterrent and the hook isn’t? If the fish are that close? Just curious your thoughts on that
i watched this video the other day . Went to local tackle shop.=, bought some #1 Gamakatsu hooks and the pumpkin with chartreuse worms. . And I used a panorama ghost pro shad. ill always use this in all waters . i really smoked them whileb others at our farm pond watched.

caught my pb on wacky rig about 15 years ago.
A little gel crazy glue works wonders on keeping plastics on hooks .
I use a crazy octopus hook weedless and a keeper ring , have great hook ups and catch alot of fish b4 the worm is ruined😮
Great video. Keep it up.

I used the G finesse to catch a 7 and 10 pounder this week. Great hooks but the keeper always comes loose after 4 or five fish.
Thank You!
Hey Randy...do you ever cut off the weighted worm holder? Just wondering about if it hangs on stuff
Good info
Hey Randy thanks for the great video I see you use a different hook and then I see the hook john cox uses his hook is really small . He claims the small hook hooks them better I don't think so I use the mustad 1/0 Titan hook .
does more salt make it fall slower or faster?
Definitely hard to beat a wacky rig or a weightless texas rigged senco
Thank you for the video

That would be called a n.j. rig.I use a gamagotcha size 1 G lock hook.That way it can be thrown in more cover.Its semi weedless.
Old school 1/0 straight shank hooks are the best. Cheaper the better.
9:35 he says "Ungulate".
Undulate
Fish dont see the crossover rings or the g7 surgical tubing. Worried about them seeing a clear piece of tubing but use a hook 5x bigger than most.
Sure your worms are free. At $9 a bag hooking thru the bait gets bit off right away from a blue gill or rock bass. At least with a wacky ring or small piece or clear tube you can use it a lot and catch multiple fish.
Nice
im back lol! one of the last informative channels left. not sponsor driven
Hey randy it's is really 9 bucks almost for one Hook in this page or is it for a pack

I disgaree on no keeper. I get just as many bites and use way less worms. A 1/0 hook is perfect, but the rubber ring works great.
I just bought a bunch of those little circle octopuses son of B 😂
He didn't mention hook set.
You wanna let the fish have it for about a good 4 seconds before setting hook or you'll miss them for sure!
Loved it
You telling me the fish can't see the hook but can see the caller just like they can't see the fake baits as well 😅
How many hooks each pack ?? 🤔😧
Zlinkys are made from biodegradable doa plastic much more life like than regular soft plastics, best wacky hook was made by falcon they weighted them as well as no weight, sure wish someone else would come out with a replacement
I wonder why wacky rigged fisherman don’t try screwing in a hitchhiker into the middle of the stick bait , seems like it would save losing ur stick bait
Any of the colors mentioned will work all of the time.
Anyone else like a mosquito hook? I use a size 2 and have had pretty good luck keeping them pinned.
Yep, that's all I use, with an O ring. Killer on Smallmouth. Fish almost hook themselves, just sweep rod a bit. Can't remember ever having fish shake off. Baits last a long time.
the o-rings are terrible, i would often cast my worm off the hook. i buy clear plastic pieces from a guy on ebay that are actually like a collar and they work great. i switched to them due to how much longer the bait lasts rather than just hooking it. i use yamasenkos and they are too expensive to lose on every fish

Put one of your springs in the center. Then hook it.
👍
Never been a big fan of the circle hooks..I may need to try that straight shank 1/0
Randy hi . Baby Bass colour not on TW
Where I fish I HAVE to use weed guards or it will get caught in grass , slime , brush , trees , stumps .
So an o ring keeps a bass from biting but a 1/0 hook sticking out of a bait doesn't? Really.
I think you're off the mark on this one, sir! I fish wacky and neko rigs quite extensively and you won't convince me that a bass will see a black keeper ring on a junebug worm and not see that huge hook that you are suggesting. I disagree, but hey if it works for you...by all means go for it!
Decoy makes the most snag free and fish pinning wacky hook 3/0, ur welcome
Wig a racky rig......so thatvfastvten times 😂
And the big a$$ hook doesn’t matter? Use 2 hands and cross them. Hook sits perfect.
2 Bands.
