How to Fish the Wacky Worm Full Length: studio.ua-cam.com/users/video5HpOib1sWI4/edit
What are you go to colors??
@@mikesullivan7153 it’s in the main video I’m pretty sure he states which colors he likes don’t quote me but I’m pretty sure.. one of his videos says it lol if that helps
@@mikesullivan7153 Green pumpkin Black Fleck for clear to light stained. Stained to Muddy Black and Blue. I buy them by the 100 geni.us/Dingers100Pack
What kind of kayak is that. I cannot find pedal kayaks or pedal fishing kayaks anywhere
Hands down my go-to rig when the bite is slow or I'm probing different areas of cover. When I have my nieces and nephew with me thats what I'm setting them up with and they'll pull them out left and right and have a blast.
Right on Tater… tried and true!
Same. Rigs these for my daughters and wife and they get hammered.
I feel like a idiot. I throw this in rotation and never thought how easy and a good learning lure this rig would be for my son and daughter. Theyve been loving the action they get on a 1/16th oz ball head jig with a 2.75 inch zman slim swim for creek smallmouth and rock bass.
@@wendellfishingcan I just say that it's not an octopus hook but offset bait hook.
You said more about your retrieve than 99% of the videos out there....THANK YOU!!!!!!😊
Thanks Jorden.. appreciate it
@Wendell Fishing I just get pissed, all these vids and no one tells about the retrieve...fast, slow, top or bottom...and WHY are the doing the retrieve they are doing!!! Thanks for letting me vent lol 😁👍
@@JOovshak82 its the same retrieve on the drop shot in deeper water.
Exactly no one hardly no one ever mentions retrieve, seems like to me.
Hes also using a piece of clear shrink tubing on the worm so the hook doesnt tear it up as fast.
I just fished wacky couple of days ago, I’m try the clear tube on it, I’ve been using o rings, clear plastic looks better! Good video, my go to bait!
I use zman zinkerz worms. They do get more buoyant after soaking it for a while but a 1/16th oz whacky hook gets that fall rate back to normal and i never have issues of them tearing in the middle like yama senkos do so quickly. Id say 15:2 ratio fish caught on zman zinkerz to senkos in term of durability
i always throw the wacky rig with an o-ring
Yup those senkos rip up quick
I thought that was scotch tape haahaha
I literally use this in the spring,summer,fall, cold , hot, cloudy, sunny and it works everytime
ALLL DAY!
facts the wacky worm slays
Right on brother
I can fish every lure in my box and not catch a damn thing, but when I put the wacky on it’s time to catch some fish
Grant... you are in good company brother
I'm in NE Ohio and this I'd exactly how I feel, and it's very unfortunate. I'm obsessed with my tackle, lures, and baits. To the point where it's like I'm a collector at this point. Granted, when I'm in creeks or tribs, a lot of my cranks, spinners, roostertails, or even whopper ploppers will work to my advantage. However, most local ponds or inland lakes [since I don't have a boat or kayak unfortunately] I'm stuck to bank fishing, and I'd say about 90% of the time I'm only catching things with a wacky rig, a frog, or a Jig with a Craw trailer.. not necessarily COMPLAINING because I'm still catching them, but I wish I could feel the rush of nailing some on Spinner, or a chatterbait [legit have never caught one with a chatterbait 😑] a swim Jig, a Glide Bait, one of my deep cranks... it's such a bummer to have such cool gear that I use and use and use with no luck no matter all the techniques I research and try lol
@@dakota2842 yeah man a lot of lures are pretty much boat exclusive. Idk how y’all’s water looks up there but chatterbait near cover or grass, especially shallow, usually works. Same thing with spinnerbaits. Also remember to pop them every once in a while and play with your retrieval speed.
I don’t know why I haven’t used this rig in so long. I just thought about how long it’s been and this short is making me want to try it out again like yesterday. Absolute classic man 👌🏼
Heck yeah.. just picked up 2 18's last week with it
I’ve never had any luck on a wacky rig, but a Texas rigged roboworm is my go to when the bite is tough
Nice!
i have a really hard time with hook sets on my texas rigs, but they are my daily driver because my lake is filled with logs and weeds. any tips for setting?
@@Aethelvladtry lighter gauge hook or different style worm hook what r u using now
Another good way to fish the wacky rig is pull it up as far as you can and let it sink all the way to the bottom, then pull it up and let it sink again, do this the entire retrieve fishing it really slow. They’ll hit it on the fall. A wacky rigged Senko is one of my most confident lures when the bite is slow, along with a Texas rigged fluke with a 1/16th oz bullet weight, give it some pops then pause.
Said every fisherman ever 😂😂😂
Believe it or not, you didn’t know this at one point in your life
@@wendellfishing that logic could be applied to literally everything. Ever
I use the o-rings and weedless hooks. It works great for fishing in and around weeds and grass.
Right on Jake...
I also use weedless hooks on frogs. I take the double hooks out and put weedless down. 10 X's hook ups.👍
@@JamesJones-cx5pk Solid
Agreed caught my pb on a senko like that with a ring, and they love it
The fish was 8.01 lbs
DAAAANNNGGG! Get some Chris!
Okok 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾love to see people out fishing 💪🏾🫵🏾
Heck yeah! GET SOME!
My absolute go-to, the king of Rigs.
Big facts there
I learned this rig years ago, but he broke it down on the retrieve better than most.
Thanks brother! Get some!
2/0 gamakatsu octopus hook is my choice. It is super consistent in hooking and landing bass while I keep seeing other people lose fish.
Right on Wrink.. I've seen Size 1 - 2/0 recco'd for this. Glad you are picking them up.
Just started using the wacky rig last year. It is now my confidence bait.
It's just plain deadly... Right on Chris
Dude ....I watched this yesterday, try it today and got the biggest bass of my life! ❤
Heck Yeah Brother! Congrats!
5 tugs and no bite is golden advice 90%of the time! The other 10% are those crazy ass end strikes that end up catching me some of the biggest bass I've caught. I would actually reel in 75%of my line after a few drop and pauses, then drop and pause to the shore after I figured that out.
GET SOME!
When i was shown the wacky, i was told, "the beauty of this bait is, there's no wrong way to fish it."
Nice bass my dude!
GET SOME Brother!
Probably the most versatile bait out their. Have been fishing the wacky worm for over 10 years. To save on the baits use a rubber ring so not to rip the bait with hook.
I just fished for 3 1/2 hours on the Kentucky river, used 4 inch senko didn’t catch one fish, I’m new to this though, hopefully I’ll get better over time, definitely going to use your tips
Whacky rig is amazing, caught a 4 pounder bass with it
ive never heard of the wacky rig. Thanks!
Slay em brother!
I have heard of that artificial worm thought it was a gimmick but after the way you demonstrated how to hook and fish it I'm buying some ...
They don't get much cheaper than this: geni.us/Dingers100Pack
Love your videos!
Glad you like them!
I’ll second this setup
Right on brother!
Been doing it with a Zoom finesse worm since ICast 1998 fishing show in Vegas. Learned a lot for sure.
Right on.. never tried it with a finesse worm before. Always something to learn
Smart man... wacky and a ned rig. This guy knows his finesse game!
Nothing works better for me in the Midwest than these two lures. It's crazy.
@@wendellfishing same here man! I live in Indiana and started off power fishing with reaction baits. When the Wacky came out I jumped on it. Then the Ned and Niko rig. Those stick worms are so versatile. I use them in all 4 seasons and mainly stick with a finesse approach now. I dont blame you one bit brother! You got a decent pig to show for it!
@@billywood9717 Yeah.. people clown on me saying they are lures "that require no skill and catch everything" I don't know about you.. but that sounds like the perfect lure. Who would want to fish with the inverse?
@@wendellfishing lmao! Well said! Man Ive caught carp, crappie, bluegill, largies an smallies on the wacky. Its hilarious seeing people's reaction. I agree with them, idk why they bite it either... but they do an thats good enough for me! Lol thats what im in it for!
Great bait to add to the toolbox
Big facts brother!
the great rig for when the bass are being bitches and not biting!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥
Right on Bass Snatcher.. I love the name BTW
@@wendellfishing dude appreciate it! i subscribed just now! check out the few shorts i have myself. my videos are simple but they’ll get better with time as i pick up my editing skills!
That's Right ✅️
Right on Bruce
@Wendell Fishing yes sir sinko's and yum dingers also. Green pumpkin purple flake is killer color now for me. 👍Good fishing 🎣
Senkos are so much fun to fish
One of my favorites!
Yeah, hooking it like that makes it danc in the water better than the traditional weedless method.
Right on brother!
An old man taught me that rig when I wasn’t catching anything one day, swapped to it a laid them out the rest of the day
Smart man... Works 100% of the time 90% of the time
Excellent advice 👌
Glad it was helpful Joel!
Ahh yes a senko worm can’t go wrong with them, once a fish detects some wierd feeling in the life they will let go so you need to let it sit there until a bass sticks personal experience for me only!
Thanks for the whacky tutorial. You’re a gem
hey.. everyone learned it for the first time... some time.
All Summer I’ve Been Smackin Bass With The ZMan Wacky Love It!!
niiiiice... do you weight that bad boy?
I love this rig
Heck Yeah.. Get Some Jeff!
Great tip thanks
Glad to help
Great short video to help learn a new rig or improve technique in its use!
Glad it was helpful!
Senko Wacky Rig is my go to for bass. I have so many different colors. Love my Senkos!
Right on CK... Interestingly enough.. I only use GP, GP with red fleck, or black senko's.
Same here, Senko all day. I use the 5in half green half white wacky rig with an o-ring and I’ve caught more bass on that than anything else
I use the half blue half black as a year round bait. One of my go to baits anywhere I go
NIIIICE!
Good rig makes good day
Amen to that!
I don’t real it in after 5 pops cause I have them bite at bank all the time. Some places I agree like less pressured lakes but high pressure lakes I keep the worm in the water the whole time
This is my go to rig, I hook this for wife and kids.
My daughters love this rig as well!
You are now the third person in the past day that recommended using a wacky rig... guess I outta give that a try!
When the bite is tough.. it produces. Get some!!!
I somehow figured this technique out all on my own just by watching people do it. If it doesn't get bit, there's simply no fish in that spot lol I consistently catch fish out of my local pond, all sizes. Iv heard different colors work better at different times so I'm using a baby bass color kahlins wacko worm if anybody is curious, their worms seem really durable as well
That's how I feel about it... I'm pretty confident in my ability to find fish with the wacky rig.. if I ain't catching them.. they likely are not there
Little piece of shrink wrap in the center of the senko will make it last way longer
Big facts
I just started using the wacky worm last year, and I love it! I prefer the magnum trickworm in watermelon red flake. Toss it into a hole in the grass and hang on!
Heck Yeah Ramblin... GET SOME!
I live by this bass fishing method. Pike and pickeral love it also.
Wacky rig is my all time favorite! Fun technique and caught my biggest “7Lb largemouth” bass on this setup! Didn’t even use the rubber in the middle just straight hook and worm.
Right on EZGray.. what state did you catch that in?
@@wendellfishing Mississippi!
@@Gray.1063 Right on!
Tried this same method and caught my first bass (15 incher) from a dock
Good stuff
I’ve fished a wacky rig every single time I’ve been fishing for like the past 2 months and I’ve yet to catch a bass. I did catch a warmouth but they literally bit everything put in front of them. I will not give up!
That's unbelievable to me.. if there are fish there.. I have never had any trouble having them devour a wacky.
@@wendellfishing that’s the weird part about it cause im tossing it in all the likely areas for em to be. I can’t say it was a wacky rig but close to it, i was fishing a senko Texas rigged with a tiny split shot that helped it fall but it fell slower than if I had a bullet weight and I caught my last bass on that. Anyways I’m not gonna give up on the wacky rig, I’m confident it will produce, maybe I’m not using the right color, retrieve, etc. I’ll get it right eventually 🤝🏼
Sweet wacky rig
Sweet Wacky Rig
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Wacky Rig
I believe they never could
Sweet Wacky Rig
Good times never seemed so good
those are some nice healthy bass...great lip rippin
Thanks boss!
As a wacky work enthusiast personally I’d recommend just pulling it up instead of jerking because the bass like eating it on the fall when it flutters. I don’t think it hurts the performance I just don’t think it’s necessary
If it works for ya... that's all that matters
@@wendellfishing it’s the only thing I use for bass😂😂
I'm close to it.. it's hard to use other lures when it performs like it does
@@wendellfishing fr I’ve used it muskie fishing before and it almost worked😂😂
@@patrickimmelman897 love it
My father-in-law swears by those things. Just picked myself up a bag I'm going to give them a try
Get Ready!
Thank you
Right on Plea.. happy to help
I wish I could use this, but bass are rare in my area, they’ve been over fished and some people aren’t even sure if there’s bass in the lake anymore
Some of my favorite places to fish is where other have told me "There's no bass in here" :) Where do you live?
Works so well!
PREACH!
I slay smallmouth and large mouth in the local creek. Green and white are really good
Right on Brother... GET SOME !
That always works for me
Right on Kelley!
Keep up the great content
Thanks! Appreciate it
I think my son has been using this for a few years, definitely catches some bass, even a catfish occasionally
Smart kid of yours!
@@wendellfishing he's trying feebly to be a semi professional fisherman. Has the equipment, but not really the time it takes
Yeah... it's a grind... all day.. and all night.
@@wendellfishing all week driving hotshot campers, and trying to get in on the weekend tournament's
Trying to learn, appreciate the content.
Right on brother!
Americans after catching a 5 pound bass: 🥳
Brits after catching a 20 pound carp: damn that’s a small fish
lol... it's always gives me a chuckle how Americans view carp as trash fish and in other parts of the world they are the gamefish
Your comparing two different types of fish that’s like saying me catching a marlin isn’t shit cuz you got a grouper. Carp are dogshit anyway in America we are supposed to catch ‘em and kill or throw on land trash ass fish
My Fishing buddy fishes senko from the start and I use a small square bill Crankbaits to see which was better for that trip and both put on the same lure.
Who wins?
I caught that same exact brand of worm in a net when I was net fishing, free worm, finders keepers
Agreed :)
Another Tip, i fish in sac. Lots of weeds and debris through out the year. Weedless texas rig is a better choices.
Right on
I'm finding on medium to high pressured waters that the wacky rig is less effective every year. When we first started fishing this rig 25 years ago it was truly a game changer and 20 to 40 bass days were the average. Ned rig has replaced it in my arsenal as the "go to". Still have it ready to go but doesent produce like it used to on my waters.
Where you located JJ?
That sounded like a gta cheat code lmao but good vid 😂
:)
All my hogs been on seinko 🔥🔥
NIIIIIIICE!
Good stuff bro thank you for your information
Thanks brother.. appreciate it
Nice catches!
Thanks boss!
Wacky worm literally never fails first time I ever caught a fish on artificial bait was with a wacky rig
Nice Bennie
That speed stick is a game changer tho..
Not a bad setup for the price
Works sooo good
soooo gooood
Hands down. Live bluegill will catch you monster. Be a ninja and don't get caught 😂😂
I’ve been usin this and I love it, I get way more bites on that than anything else I’ve used
Right on brother! GET SOME!
I was using those back in 2004 ,crazy how they blew up to this day . Great lure .
Tried and True bass slayer
All i seem to catch with wacky rigs are rock bass. Then I’ll switch to texas rig and cast in the same spot and immediately catch a largemouth after catching ten rockies
That's awesome!
Sanko is my favorite way to fish I catch all my good bass that way
Preach!
love the wacky rig
Puts fish in the boat.. .can't argue with that
They make specific hooks for wacky rigs I must say my hook set has been much better since switching hooks
Definitely didn't know how to work one of them. Appreciated fr
Here's some more juice: ua-cam.com/video/5HpOib1sWI4/v-deo.html
I love wacky rig
Alll Day!
I love that rod and reel combo
Not a bad combo for the price!
What combo is it?
@@Alex-xs8tu Lew’s Speed Stick Combo
In AZ I let it fall till slack wait 5 seconds then a couple tugs and repeat. You'll be surprised how many bass eat it just siting on the bottom.
Big Facts
@@wendellfishing I also love tying on a weighted wacky hook with a 6.5" zoom trick worm. Caught some of my PB's on that rig.
Wacky Rig and Texas Rig…..the dynamic duo
Big Facts there... Ill throw the Ned in there for the Dynamic Trio
Don’t forget the Neko. I find it very effective as well.
When in doubt dinger out!
Ahhhhh Yeah!
You had me at Gamakatsu
Yeah.. I really don't use too many other brands of hooks anymore
About time for me to purchase! 😂
Heck yeah.. won't be sorry
Wacky is more successful from a Kayak when you can really target fish! I struggle with it from the bank
I can see that
ok. I'll order me some wormies and give it a try. my last outing got me nothing with shakers and poppers
This will get bass on your line. Give it a morning and you will pick em up. Watch this as well: ua-cam.com/video/5HpOib1sWI4/v-deo.html
I use this all the time it’s awesome
Right on Carter!
I'll add the biggest split shot 2 feet ahead of the hook thatI can find and work it on a deep weedline. 15' and deeper.
Right on Eric.. solid tip
I pop and pause mine all the way in even caught some 3lbers right on the bank with the wacky so I definitely would keep going after 5 tugs bro bro js
I'm not saying you will never catchem after 5, after 20 years of using this rig, I will say with 100% certainty that catch rate percentage goes down after 5. 3lbers.. NICE!!! Get some brother!
