I have now been in possession of the wiggle rig kit for 4 weeks. I have fished with it many times in the last 4 weeks. By my count I have fished with the wiggle rig 16 trips now. Below is a thorough report on my experience with the wiggle rig.

I ordered the wiggle rig on a Monday. 3 days later it was on my door step.  I took it out that afternoon and practiced with it from my dock in the shallow water where I could see it. This was because of a tip I received after emailing the company that sells the wiggle rigs. I emailed the owner and asked him how to set up and use the rig. Less than 3 hours later I had an email back telling me which lures work good and what techniques to use to make the bait wiggle.

So Following his advice I walked out on my dock and started practicing with the rig. It only took me a few min to figure out that I needed to do. After about 30 min of practicing with worms and flukes I felt confident enough to venture out in my Jon boat and try to catch a few bass. Let me tell you. This little rig really does make the worms and flukes and craws look like they are alive. The lures looked so real that I wanted to bite into them. What you see in the videos on there site is what you will see when you try it for your self.

I set out in my little boat and headed to my favorite spot. I tied on the wiggle rig with about a 18-20" leader going to the hook. On the hook I placed a 6" culprit in fire and ice. I worked the rig until I felt it "hang" on a piece of limb or grass and proceeded to bounce my rod tip about 1".  After the first cast being un successful I casted closer to the bank and hung the rig on a limb on a downed tree that was in about 3' of water. This time after only 30-40 seconds of wiggling the worm I had a big blow up and set the hook. After a short fight I landed a 3 lb 5 oz bass. I threw back to the same area and pulled out 4 more bass in the 1-2.5 lb range. I continued to work the banks in my small pond and wound up catching 14 bass in just over 2 hours.

I didn't get to fish for 2 more days. This time we went over to a friends farm pond and I fished flukes on the wiggle rig. I watched the slapping technique video on the site and that's what I used most of the day. The blowups were awesome. Just about every bass I hooked came up out the water to get the fluke. I caught a 4 lb-11 oz and around 27 in the 1-3 lb range. This was in 5 hours of fishing.

Went out in my pond the next day and this time I knew what action to put on both worms and on flukes. I tied wiggle rigs on 2 rods. 1 for flukes and 1 for worms. I started working the dam of my pond where I rarely catch bass at. I would throw the worm and if I didn't get a hit I would try a fluke. I found that the deep bass (10-15' down) would not hit the worm but would nail the super fluke. So I started working the structure around the dam and wound up catching 11 bass from a spot a rarely catch bass at. When the bite stopped there I moved to a few neighbors docks and started working them just like I would drop shooting. Casting right to the end of the dock and wiggling the worm. I caught 1 girl weighing in the 3 lb range and several dinks and 1-2lbers. It was getting dark so I decided to head in for the night.

The next weekend I got to fish a rarely fished farm pond near Augusta GA. I posted a report about that day in the wiggle rig thread but I will add it here.

I Took the kit to a friends pond near Augusta GA on Sunday. I had the rig on a 24" 10 lb floro leader with a 3/0 gamakatsu ewg. On the hook was a baby bass colored super fluke. I spent about 20 min practicing on the bank. Once in the water we headed for some downed trees we saw and I threw right beside the trunk of one of the trees. I started Wiggling the fluke and after about 15 seconds I hooked a 3 lb 6 oz large mouth. I threw back to the same tree only 5 or 6 feet down the trunk. After about 1 min of wiggling I pulled a 2 lb 9 oz large mouth out. I worked the rest of the tree and moved 15 yards or so down to the next one. Worked the trunk the same way and pulled 4 bass out fro underneath it. 2 were in the 2 lb range 1 was a dink, the 4th and last one from that tree went 5 lbs 12 oz.  My friend was fishing with a GYCB senko in watermelon and only pulled 2 bass total out of both spots.

While moving to a shady spot we found a small but sharp drop off on the fish finder. I threw to it and hooked what I believed to be in the 8-10 lb range. He wrapped himself around a stump deep in the water and I lost him.
I did pull out 1 more that was around a pound. 

We moved to a shady spot in the pond and worked the bank for 100-200 yards. I had switched to a 6" June bug zoom and brought in 6 more bass in the 1-3 lb range. I didn't get to weigh the last 4 or any more during the day as the batteries died in my scales. (Rapala Digital scales.) 

My friend was getting tired and wanted to go in for a bit. (He only caught 4 bass the whole time) So I asked him if we could hit 1 more spot before we went in. He agreed and we moved to the spill way area. The water here is around 14 feet deep and full of downed trees, roots, and a sunken wooden bridge. (It used to let you walk onto the spill way to check for damage.) This 100 yards was my most productive spot of the day. My friend did ok here too.) I changed my leader to 3 feet and was casting around all the different structure. Same June bug worm. I pulled out 12 bass and 3 jack fish. The largest of the bass would have went in the 4-5 lb range. The smallest would have went close to 2 lbs. One of the jack fish was huge. I'm guessing he went 8+ lbs. 

All in all I lost 4 of the tear drops as the swivel cut the Spectastic cord like its supposed to. I went through 4 of the Spectastic cords. I caught 29 fish 26 of which were bass. My buddies who fished with stenos and jigs all day only caught 10 fish all of which were bass.

The next time I got to fish it was 3 days later and the wiggle worms I ordered had came in. I ordered the wiggle worm in pink, white, and pumpkin seed and the wiggle peanut in pink. I was fishing the peanut on a #4 long shank hook and was throwing into bream beds that I could see. I wound up pulling over 18 blue gill off of 3 beds. These were nice double palm sized blue gill. Once the bream were off the beds I switched to a white wiggle worm and was throwing it into the bed and wiggling it out to the edge and then onto deeper water. This method produced over 31 bass in 3 hours. 2 went 3 lbs and change. Then I switched to a 10" culprit in red shad and started working this huge hickory tree that was laying in the water. This tree went from the bank all the way to 10' deep water. I pulled a few small ones out and then on my last cast before I was going to head in I felt my rod almost jump out of my hands. I set the drag and began to fight this girl. After about a 10 min fight I had landed a 7 lb 4 oz bucket mouth. I decided that was a nice ending to a awesome day and headed in after kissing her on the head and letting her swim back to safety.

All in all I would have to conclude that the wiggle rig works. It does what the site and every one says it does. The action put on the lure is just like what you see in the video. If anyone has any doubts about it don't. It works folks. I just put in an order for some of the wire kits and more tear drops. As well as some peanuts in watermelon and pink. I have now fished this rig in 7 different ponds and 1 lake and it produces fish every where I go. I cant wait to try it on stripers next spring.

I mean absolutely no disrespect, but you may want to have your scale checked.

how tall are you? you gotta be at least 7 foot if that is an 8 pounder.

Regardless of what that fish weighed that is an impressive report provided by atlbasser.

What this rig does is takes lure presentation from 2 dimensional, to 3 dimensional, like real nature, that's why the catch rates go up so much. It also allows you to "wait" for fish to come to the lure, to keep it in the one spot where they are, and to vary the action until you make them hit it,, no fishing technique in the history of fishing has allowed all this. The rig does nothing, it just allows the fisherman to do "almost" anything with their lures. it takes practice to master it, so it's not for those who just want to cast and reel, and let the lure manufacturer control the lure's action.

Although this rig allows fishing in one spot,, the fisherman has the option to cover water with it, like other rigs,, they just still catch more fish due to the increase of "natural" action and vibration that is placed on the lure with this rig.

No one or company has ever offered a

"total" instant Money back warranty, without even having to return it, on any product in the world,, yet this is what I offer. That has to tell you something 

Great report(s) atlbasser!  The WR has worked for me too although, I rig mine the other way.

Can someone link me to the official site?
