The wacky rig is a popular and effective bass fishing technique that involves rigging a soft plastic worm, typically a stick bait or Senko-style lure. In this presentation, the hook is inserted through the middle or center of the worm, allowing both ends to move freely. This setup creates a unique and enticing action when the bait is in the water. Anglers often use specialized wacky rig hooks, which are thin and may have a circular or oval shape. The most common rigging method involves hooking the worm through the egg sack or center. The wacky rig is known for its simplicity and ability to trigger strikes from bass in various fishing conditions.
