Experience You Had With Wacky Worm Tiny Hook Retainer Rings

I've been using heat shrink tubing, Senkos last a lot longer than using the O rings with heat shrink.

I like the bass BPS brand of tournament series whacky worms but I am just liable to put anything plastic in the tackle box on the line and use the same technique. They are not my go to 12 months a year. I do not worry much about the color just dark or light shades. I do have a few pink and green however for real low light periods. Wacky worms and trick worms take a lot of practice to be to understand them and really be effective with them. There are so many variations to the system of fishing them. The past 2 weeks I have been fishing them off channel banks that lead to spawning areas. I have been fishing them with a slow drop as As deep as at least 10 ft. It is a tedious thing to do and take a couple of minutes for a retrieve. It works that way for me. Lot of the fish I catch or not right on the bank either. But I make my cast to the bank and work the wacky back and down.

Enjoyed all the comments on rings, shrink wrap, etc. for wacky rigging. I've used a wacky rigging system with good success called the Wacky RIG'R from K&J tackle. The O-ring applicator works great and the system has worked good for middle of the bait applications as well as a nose rigged variant. Also, a custom 'quick sinking' hand poured stick bait solves the sinking issue real well. Let me know if you are interested in a source for these; I buy mine on line from a small business in Walden, NY.
