Best Weedless Wacky Rig Hooks for Senko Action / Fall

Featured Replies

What are some good weedless hooks to wacky rig Senkos so you get the same fall rate and action / wiggle?  I have some of the 2/0 Gamakatsu weedless finesse wide gap hooks but they don't have enough weight.  The senko drops very slowly and doesn't wiggle much.  Should I get the 4/0 version of these?  What else has enough weight?

I bought the Owner wacky hooks this year with the plastic "Y" guard on them and haven't lost a single fish on them yet.  Likewise the Jackall Flick-It jigheads.

Those Owner Wacky hooks seems to be a top item too. I went to Gander Mountain yesterday and they was gone! those and the finesse wide gap weedless. They did have those in 1/0 so I bought a pack of wide gap. I was also looking at the VMC's live bait hook that looks similar to the Owner's Wacky hook, has anybody tried those?

I make my own version of a weedless hook using a 4/0 or 5/0 Gamakatsu Octopus hook. That gives me plenty of hook strength to handle big bass in heavy cover, a heavier weight hook, and a weedguard that is durable and replaceable.

The guard is made of 7 strand stainless steel leader material, and the attachment is 1/8" electrical heat shrink tubing. The tension is about equal to the stiffness of a brush type weedguard on a jig.

And here I was looking in the store for weedless attachment for hooks!! Haha, I was going to to try the weedless after you mention them in my wacky O-ring topic. Well now I know why I couldn't find just the weed guards. Don't I feel............................

endless, if you prefer a less stiff weedguard, use saltwater leader mono like this:

Cool I will check this out.. Thanks how do you make it weedless? any crimping or just use the shrinking tube?

I use nothing but the hooks with the weedless guard on them for the wacky rigged 1/8oz carolina rigs.
