Buy 3/8 inch shrink wrap and cut a 3/8 section of the wrap, position the shrink wrap to the middle of the worm and heat the shrink wrap till snug. I have caught many fish on the same worm rather than 1 or 2 using a standard wacky worm set up. Hook the middle of the shrink wrap with a #2 weed less hook and fish anywhere with great results. Pads, limbs, rocks it wont hang up. Fish ignore the shrink wrap and hook. Caught several hundred bass with this set up.
I like it
I've been doing this for years
I started doing the 3/8” elec heat shrink for over a year. It works great, I’ve used the same Senko for weeks.
Can you tell me more about the weedless hooks you use
@@sageywaveyVMC Weedless Neko hooks size 2, 1, 1/0 or 2/0. Same thing for non Weedless Hooks, depending on the size of your worm. Use the VMC CROSS OVER RINGS, they work best for NEKO or Wacky style, and you will have a better hook-up ratio. I hope that helps you.
Sounds crazy but we have been using the smallest zip tie you can buy for this purpose for almost 20 years. Between my father and I, we easily have 1,000+ bass with several over 10 pounds using them. One plus is that the bait slides up the line while fighting the fish if you set the tension correctly. That said, for the 48 I like the Mustad wacky rings. They are very similar to what you have in the video. I caught one over 5 using them on a 48 just yesterday.
That's is an awesome new way to rig a wacky. I'll be trying that this weekend. Thanks again for the time you offer up on your own to pass on your knowledge. You're appreciated.
Not new, see other replies here
Great tips!! Yeah, the pliers aren't cheap, but love I can store them in the handle!!
This set up works great
Great tips! I'm glad I ordered a pair of pliers and some rings before you let out the secret and they go out of stock everywhere.
O-Rings for Neko Rigging!! Heat Shrink material for true Wacky Rigging. Heat Shrink Material is tough and holds the plastic really well. ;-)
I've been using a 1/8" piece of heat shrink tubing for my wacky rigs for many years... works great and it's inexpensive... I do like the idea of the little hook tab they added to their band tho
Thanks John 👍 Awesome tip!!!
👍 🎣 🇺🇸
Thanks John that is so cool!
I use clear heat shrink tubing, but those look pretty nice! 3/8" fits a 5in Senko perfectly
Awesome product!! Thanks for sharing!!
They work great especially with the 48 worm. I make my own Senko style baits and like a weighted hook and it’s great.
Agh, Mr Crews, today is " worm saddle" time. That's the name I gave it. I tried some of those 2 yrs ago. I believe it was a RAT ( Research Angler Team) project. I really enjoyed them but I did tend to rip it when I got bit and the hooks grabbed the fish on the outside of the face. Again, I like the idea of the hook riding outside of the worms. That short strike was eliminated. Might reconsider getting them again. Lately I've been just hooking the worm like I did when I first started fishing the wacky rig. I ran out of 48s so I'm using a senko & 6th Sense cloud worms.
I lose too many wacky rigs (rocks) so I go a less expensive route and use number 16 black rubber bands. Cut them to length, tie hook to worm (x pattern), cut tag ends and go fish. Works like a charm and you'll never throw one off because the rubber band grips better than the O rings. I *usually* make 2 or 3 up before I go fishing if I think I'll be using a wacky rig.
Haven't gotten them yet, but heard quite a bit about them. Looking forward to using them. Thanks for the heads up and tight lines.
Great info, I use it all the time on all my wackey rig and neko with a quiver 6.5.
Always good to learn modified techniques.
Used them at Santee last weekend, works pretty well. :)
Thanks for the video
Been wrapping small piece of electrical tape around worn for years to keep hook perpendicular and save worms .
Great video!!!
I learned a lot. Thanks 👍
I use clear shrink tube cut in about 1/4 inch length. a little heat and it doesn't move.
Owner Med CPS Spring FTW!!
It will tear but a decent option
Save your hard earned money and use 3/8 inch heat shrink tube sectioned to appropriate width, very versatile, can hook in subtle ways for different bait action. Tips that do not cost you much money are always the best. Most gadgets and accessory items catch your money, not more fish.
This is one of those worth the few bucks.
The cross over rings work great. If you are skipping the wacky rig with them your worn will come out. I want to try the 48 but haven’t gotten any yet. Maybe being smaller in the center will keep them from coming off. How would you rate the fall rate on the 48 slow medium or fast?
48 fall is medium. Try a smaller ring to keep from it slipping
I know using the same color is good, but could using contrasting or a bright colored ring create a unique presentation too? Red Rings on dark or light worms, Chartreuse Rings on Dark worms, Black Rings on white or bubble gum worm etc... I've even thought about a Skirted Rings for wacky rigs...🤔 🍺🎣
Love the idea!
Grabbed a pair of those yesterday after watching your video. I'm guessing that's a 1/0 gamakatsu octopus hook you're using??
Bingo 👊🏼
That’s money 💰
I just use the 48 from the drop. If you do you aren’t worried with hunting a laminate side, trying to crimp it down to make it work, you have the wrong worm or tool for the job personally speaking. If a tool has a more efficient and effective way of doing the job why in the world would anybody willingly give up an advantage? To me that’s like saying hey, here’s my waypoints and where I wrecked em in practice for 10 mins solid and were all 4lbs, putting yourself behind the 8 ball before hitting the ramp. The 48’s flat side is jexactly that advantage. I’ve been using the 😮VMC rings w/ the 48 for almost a year now and make the best combo I could find. Once I found the best set-up hookup ratio went up to tremendouslyi. I’ve found for myself where I live and fish mostly, in the grass and around laydowns parallel has been the go iito. LllAround grass line edges, open water, bed fish/spawning, etc, perpendicular SXf has been the juice. I’d say I usellld olllozziperpendicular 85-90% of the time. Tight Lines
PS- I’m gonna need to see you hoist at least hold 1 more of those blue trophies 🏆
Crossover ring broke 2nd cast for me after putting it on with a moderate cast not aggressive at all
Hey John was that a owner hook
It’s a Gamakatsu Octopus
How expensive are they? A nd how many in a pack for that price?
Problem i have with crossover rings is that when youre fighting a fish your hook pulls all the way thru the hole and i cant fit the eye of the hook back thru the hole on the crossover ring.
I like that it gets the worm away from the hook
@@JohnCrews how do you get the eye of the hook back thru the hole once it pulls thru?
@@ggw7948 pull it back through.........................
@@elonmust7470 trust me ive tried....between the size of the knot and eye of the hook its not coming...I end up having to cut my line and retie every time this happens.
@@ggw7948 It went in, it'll come back.
Hey John what rod are you using for that wacky rig
The CASHION Micro Jig Rod
Save time, effort, and frustration - if you want to fish a Wacky Rig weightless, just buy Zman Zinkerz - no 0-rings or other superfluous technology. The Elaztech material will allow any hook dimension, etc. and not tear or fling off. EZ PZ!!
The 7mm does not work on a senko. It’s too loose any bite you get you will lose your worm.
You still got the old Zebco Hog 333 back there?🤔🤣🤣🤣
My young daughters 😂
@@JohnCrews oh sure...
You don't have to lie to be cool🤣🤣🤣
Let me find out you are skipping!! Micro jigs with a spin cast!! Lol I see it there over your shoulder!!
If you're catching them, they still get destroyed after 3 fish if you're lucky. Jumpers can fling a senko no matter how you rig it!
Try that crossover ring bro
@@JohnCrews Okay
U have a zebco 202?
Yes. It was my youngest daughters
Theres another company making a similar ring. Only easier to put on.
I haven’t seen it
@@JohnCrews its called wacky saddle by Frenzy.
Why didn’t I think of that?l lol
If you have funds or are bait-sponsored, then don't use the rings. I use them so I don't burn through my soft baits. I will even repurpose abandoned or lost baits on the shore.
✨😇✝️🇺🇸🚂🎣🎣🎣✨
You shouldn't be putting that toxic plastic in your mouth. Good grief. The manufacturer should have come up with a better way to install their product.
