Best Wacky Rig Weight

Bradkraussoutdoors reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Wacky Rigs technique and WOO! Tungsten Nail Weight on Cayuga Lake.

Skipping a worm under those docks gets a lot of quality bites. "

Gratton Fishing reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Wacky Rigs technique and WOO! Tungsten Nail Weight on Blue Marsh Lake.

Lots of boat traffic, heat, and fishing pressure has been tough on the fish. Finesse presentations have been getting the most bites. "

Chris Moyer reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Wacky Rigs technique and WOO! Tungsten Nail Weight on St. Johns River. Additional comments from this report: "First time on the St. John's and she did not disappoint! Caught a 9.37 lb. giant! Caught decent numbers. Our spot was a well trafficked location, so we had to do something different than everyone else to get our bites. When the water is running and the sun is high, can't go wrong with a wacky rig! "

Fishinislife47 reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Wacky Rigs technique and VMC Neko Weight on Keuka Lake.

Aaron reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Wacky Rigs technique and VMC Neko Weight on Little Bearskin Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Cooler than normal weather and water conditions had the largemouth bass tucked into heavier clumps of submerged vegetation in about 4-8 ft of water. Short pitches of wacky and neko rigged plastics around the clumps and weed lines yielded nice largemouth. Simple technique for kids and beginners to build some confidence and have fun fishing. Light line, sensitive rod and smooth drag are key to the presentation in clear water. "

Patrick Walters reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Wacky Rigs technique and VMC Neko Weight on Rodman Reservoir. Additional comments from this report: "Ended up finishing in 4th place in the first Bassmaster Elite Series event on the St. Johns River, and I fished all four days on Rodman Reservoir! I was fishing isolated cover in Rodman, from lily pads to stumps to standing timber on flats anywhere from 4 to 9 feet of water. The fish were moving up to spawn more and more everyday, I was targeting the fish in transition to there spawning grounds and picking them off when they would set up on the isolated cover. Catching them on reaction baits such as jerkbaits and then following it up with the wacky / neko rig to clean house. "

Largemouth are still heavily relating to bluegill beds. There are a lot of them up shallow in 2-4" with large numbers of bass around. Targeting these fish with wacky rigs is money. The average size isn't huge but you can catch TONS of fish. For better quality bass target the bluegill beds on the weed edges (easy to find with side imaging). I have been fishing these with texas rigged craws and having good success.

Jacob Stem reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Wacky Rigs technique and VMC Tungsten Worm Weight on Oneida Lake . Additional comments from this report: "Today I had a Kayak bass tournament for the Elite Kayak Series. After two days of practice I was able to locate a couple productive areas in the grass for largemouth bass even found a bedding smallmouth with 70ish degree water temps. I switched between a wacky rig and a Texas rigged worm. In the morning I even messed with a spro epop (popper). I caught a ton of largemouth and finished 12th out of 43."
