Okay, I'm about to make a deal with myself to use lures and plastics all summer NO BAIT this year. but I need to know one thing, what kind of a hook does one use to wacky, whacky, whakee...etc..etc..rig a "stickbait" plastic? I have about a thousand senkos, gulp sink minnows and varying other types of this bait I have collected over the years...like 5...so I want to use them as I already tossed some that were "brittle and flaky" and just didnt look right to me. so other than texas/carolina rigging, and of course the spinner rig use of such items, I do have like 2/0 hooks in regular, circle, wide gap worm and offset worm....so which is better to use. Is it in the hookset or should I let the fish take a circle and hook them selves with this set up? Thanks to all from this cornocopia of knowledge in advance.

Yamamoto and other companies make a rubber "O" ring that goes around stick baits like the Senko. I works pretty good and keeps the expensive Senko's from tearing. But, Gammy makes a circle type hook with a plastic guard that you fold over the barb to keep it weedless. This hook is the most snag resistant wacky rig I have ever used. It doubles as a good drop-shot hook when you need a little thicker shanked hook for walleyes.

Hey Joe, I looked for the rubber "O" rings on the Yamamoto site. I didn't see them. Where did you get them from?

Go to any plumbing supply store and you can get all the o-rings u want just take your senkos to size them with.

]) I'm not sure of what type hook is the best for larger plastics. I use 1/0 wide gap but snag occasionally. I've seen em with wire "snag guards" but have never used them for wacky rigs, live bait in FL. is all but they seem to do the job.
