Well I was out earlier today fishing from the bank and I cast to a dock piling and sure enough I got one! He hit it on the way down as it was sinking. Felt good to finally get one on the wacky!

Lots of good suggestions here! Thanks everyone for the replies. I’m gonna try again on Thursday when I get back out there.

Here’s my gear: ultra light rod 6lb test flouro 1/0 wacky rig hook 4” or 5” yum dinger junebug or green pumpkin weightless I’ll cast it out wait on the fall for bites and then twitch it or just lift and let it fall baitcast rod- 6’6 medium action 10lb mono Basically same technique as above. I will try it on a jig head also.

I’ve tried weightless, jig head, dropshot, not even a nibble. I’ve tried 4 inch and 5 inch yum dingers and other senko type plastics.

I just started fishing again after a long long layoff. I have no trouble getting bites and fish with a Texas rig and ribbon tail worm and various senkos. Catch a bass almost every time out that way. Whenever I try a wacky rig I get nothing. I’ve tried yum dingers, Yamamoto senkos, even 4 inch senkos on a drop shot with an ultra light rod. Nothing a bite on either. I’m using a 1/0 hook. Any tips to help get the bite going?
