- There are many lures and presentations anglers can pick from for bass fishing during the spring and pre-spawn, but some long-time staples often get overlooked. During the spring, the wacky rig can be one such technique that anglers forget about. In this video, we're going to look at some different ways for using a wacky rig when bass fishing and how they differ from more traditional techniques. #fishing #bassfishing #fishingtips

Are wacky rigged worms a confidence bait for you?
Yes, I caught more bass on a wacky rig than any other lure this year so far. Its so easy and simple to use, pretty much dummy proof.
When i use wacky rigs I've gotten a PB in spring,and December near Christmas, so it's a good year round option for me, I like it near cover,and out deep,clear or stained water. It's just useful,and skips docks well too! Go Lowbrow 💥 🎣 ✌️.
Went fishing yesterday and tried many different lures and the wacky rig caught 90% of our bass.
Great video, my second time to watch it. I fish the Wacky rig probably 75% of the time. It is very effective and catches big fish and like you suggested, I fish it weighted and weightless. Great bait.
I have just started using the wacky rig. I saw on a YT video someone had a new twist to making a worm less destructable by using a ball point pen spring. They cut off the tightly curled portion of the spring and "screwed" the spring through the mid section (accross the worm, not lengthwise the worm), cutting the spring flush with the worm and threading the hook down the center of the spring. This eliminates the O ring and if you use a Mann Elastease worm, prolongs worm use. A Zoom worm works well also.
I love a wacky worm in the spring! I don't ever see anyone else on my lakes doing it! Junebug or green pumpkin are what works best for me.
Awesome! Those worms work great!
Excellent tutorial, just what I needed.
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching!
Love the tips for sure! Another great video LB!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Some good information! Love fishing the wacky rig! There aren't many times that I don't have one tied on! Thank you buddy!
A wacky rig can be hard to beat for sure!
I like a wacky rig in the summer and fall. Never really used it in the spring. But I'll probably change that! Great video!
A wacky rig can be so effective in spring!
Good video. I rig a wacky worm differently. I use 3/8 inch shrink tube cut it in about 3/8 length. Insert the worm to the middle and shrink the shrink tube to the worm. Use a weedless hook and insert it through the worm in the middle of the shrink tube. I often catch 8-10 fish on the same worm. Very durable. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. I like the wacky rig up in the brush myself. I do a couple of things different. I don't use o-rings. I use a bait keeper spring through the middle of my sinko. It increased my hook up ratio running that way instead of through the o-ring and got better action out of it to. Just my preference, everyone fishes different. I use a weedless wacky hook, too. I still get snagged sometimes, but who doesn't fishing brush lol. I loved that waco rig deal with the tungsten in the sinko. Never tried that before. I'm trying it next time out, lol.
If you can learn to be patient, a wacky rig is easily one of the most productive techniques out there!
Lowbrow. I'd love to see a video with you and Steve Roger's running the boat together.
You never know!
I need to try the Waco rig, thanks LB!
It really works great!
The Banjo Minnow! That brings back some memories. Used to drive my brother crazy when I would use that. Lol. Caught fish though.
I think I have that infomercial forever imprinted on my brain, lol!
Cool tips. The weather where I am has been so inconsistant, I dont think they know whay to do. Lol. But seriously, I will be trying the wacky and neko rig. I love finesse fishing, so Im good with the patience game. Thanks.
March weather is always all over the place!
For sure.
Same in my area here in northern california. 70's then a whole week of 50's rain. So bi polar. Meanwhile everyeherr else people are ctaching bass constantly.
I need to start fishing these. I hadn’t been confident in them.I like a jig more, but this spring I’m shifting.
Nothing wrong with a jig at all!
Hey Lowbrow, I was thinking the other day about putting a wacky rigged stick bait on a shaky head (without the screw lock) perpendicular to the hook. I haven't tried it yet (it's been raining here in Western Arkansas) but I hope to be able to try it tomorrow (Saturday) when my brother and I go out on Ouachita. Planning on trying it in the creek openings along the rocky banks in 0-20 ft. of water between late winter staging areas and spawning areas. Thoughts? Thanks for the videos. 👍🇺🇸
I often use a 1/4 oz bitsy bug jig without the skirt and wacky rig a stickbait on that. Catches tons of fish. So I think putting it on a shakey head would work great!
I have caught most of my big fish on a spring senko style bait.
A good old soft stickbait is hard to beat!
I always used purple worms for years. Caught lots of fish with them.
Use what catches fish for you!
Was just thinking about wacky rig leader the other day and wouldn't a monofilament help slow the fall?
It would, depending on length and pound test.
I always have a wacky tied on early spring till the water drops off late fall
Wacky rigs are proven fish catchers!
Where do you insert the nail weight?
Rig the worm weightless like for a Texas rig but with a small 1/0 lightwire EWG hook. At the egg sack, bend the worm in half and push a 1/16 oz weight into the middle of the worm, down towards the tail. Tungsten is preferred because it's much smaller, but lead will still work.
I've never caught a single fish on a wacky rig. My catches as of late has been hair jigs, tube jigs, or Texas rigs
Those are all great ways to catch bass!
What’s up with your trolling motor ?
The switch is fried so I have it manually tied together. I bought a replacement, but it went out after 1 use so I ordered the exact part from Minn Kota. Still waiting for it.
I was never any good with a wacky. Too slow for me. I need to use them more but it's hard to be patient.
It's hard to be that patient for sure!
I have to ask
Yum Shad is it still working for ya
Did you try Crawfish ???
Not yet, but the shad juice is working great still!
Wacky rigs are some of the best fish catching tools out there. I think a lot of guys don't use them because they are too "slow".
It takes patience for sure. But they can work so good!
If you fish a wacky how i fish it you can power fish and cover ground faster. Its basically a drop shot wacky rigged. But shhh i dont tell many people the secret. Youll catch more bass than a traditional wacky 3:1 ratio any day of the week. As a bait maker who owns a tackle business i can confirm this. When theres big ones around is the only time i use a regular wacky.
Well, you were holding up a neko rig.
The video covers wacky rigs, neko rigs, and Waco rigs, which are all fished similarly and can be used in similar situations.
lets go
Thanks for watching!
Didnt see how your rigging is different
Most anglers aren't fishing a wacky in thick cover. It's usually fished from the outside edge.
🤠👍
Thanks!
Lol, full circle.
Wacky was invented as an alternative to weightless ewg
I know they have been around for a bit. My uncle fished wacky rigs in Florida back in the 1970s. He showed me when I was a teenager, but he called it something else. I can't remember what, though. That's been 40 years ago.
