Senko wacky rig

[Fitzfisher]

I'm kinda of confused about this set up, do you attach the hook with an O-ring or do you just hook thru the middle? I haven't found much online and only saw it briefly on WFN

[BlackCat]

You can do both!! Reason for using the o ring is to get more use out of one senko!! With the o ring the senko dosen,t tear as fast!!

[Fitzfisher]

How do I rig it with the O-ring ? I can't find any videos show how to do this

[BassSacker]

These work quite well!

here is a post from it showing how some of us rig it with two o-rings.

Exactly.
Crude pictures attached using only o-rings I had at the house. (thicker than what I use)

[Fitzfisher]

Thanks that is a big help, last question. How far down the senko do I put the hook? In the middle or more towards the front?

[kidd]

Round about the egg sack will work.

This is better than an "O" ring and easier to install. 3/8" heat shrink tubing and a GOOD hook that can handle the biggest bass in the pond (4/0 Octopus hook with added braided stainless steel weedguard)

[Fitzfisher]

Wayne that looks great, were would I get that shrink tubing, Home Depot ? That setup looks awesome can't wait to try it

[buzzfrog]

somtimes i hook mine at the top and weight the botton belive gary yamoto did this in tournament as well, did good with,

[Wayne P.]

Fitzfisher, I buy it at Lowe's. Home Depot should have in the electrical dept.
I use the 1/8" heat shrink tubing to attach the weedguard to the hook also.

For the Senko, there is no need to heat the tubing. Some of the knock-offs are a little smaller in diameter so a little heat to reduce the size is needed.

That weedless finesse wide gap hook posted is a missed hookset waiting to happen. The plastic "weedguard" is really weak for fishing in and around substantial cover.
The Octopus hook has a lot better hook-up ratio.

I had tried to figure out the double o-ring set up in my mind and just couldn't. Thanks for those pics. That seems much better than the single o-ring since the hook is perpendicular to the worm. Probably get better action this way.

Does any one ever just nose hook their senkos?

I like a standard o ring and a gammy weedless finnesse hook   

[ssj3goten]

I just hook mine through the middle and if i get lucky to use it again i just hook closer to the top or bottom.

[Bassinkorea]

I like a standard o ring and a gammy weedless finnesse hook

That is my set up also, very simple and great hook up ratio!

I don't think this has been mentioned yet, but someone a few weeks ago posted this from Monster Tackle. It is a double wacky hook:

Do you guys use weights on your wacky rigs?  I had one guy tell me he puts a split shot weight about 18 inches above the worm.

[gillrod2728]

That is my set up also, very simple and great hook up ratio!

I have tryed many brands and styles and this is by far the best setup I have ever used. Great hookups and I can get it through nasty stuff

The new CHT Double Wacky Hook is worth a try for you anglers that like throwing the nail weight style rig.
