wow great tips guys made me think twice about what i use... but what i use is wayy more durable than anything on here since it is a plastic zip tie but i like that the shrink tube makes it so i can place the hook pointing up rather than to the side but i have not had any problem with hooking fish only diference is since the hook is laying sideways and not up like it should i tend to land fish with the hook in the corner of the fishes mouth and not deep in but lust a bit past the lips but yea ill look for new ways and will definately give shrink tubing a try

It's always worth the shot. I was doing wacky just through the worm, now I'm giving both methods a shot. O-rings and heat shrinking tubes. I know one thing for sure got to beat just hooking the worm lol.

Put it this way.  I've never lost a fish using heat shrink.  One worm will last you...well, a long time with the heat shrink.  You just need to make sure you use an appropriate size to the worm.  Otherwise it's pointless.

I don't use Senkos or their knock-offs much. When I do want to rig one wacky style, I use the 3/8" heat shrink tubing and do not heat it (tight enough for me). I then use a 4/0 or 5/0 Octopus hook with an added weedguard that I install. I always use the hook perpendicular to the bait instead of parallel. I do not want the size of the bait to interfere with the hooking ability since even wih the 5/0, a bent double Senko is a lot thicker than the hook bend-that is why I do not use the "O"ring or even the heat shrink tubing in the same manner.
