has anyone ever tried wacky rigging a zoom finesse worm?

has anyone ever tried wacky rigging a zoom finesse worm?

Yes, it works, why ?

You can wacky almost any kind of worm that you want to...............

Not as much as I used to.  I find myself wacky rigging senko-type baits more than anything.

I never understood the point of wacky rigging lol. Honestly what for?

Its just a texas rig with the bait turned in different direction which dosent matter anyway because its not like you know what direction the fish's eyes are focused. And the hook is exposed which means more hangups and mossy grass to smack off your lure.

Honestly please explain to me..the point of a wacky rig

Wacky rigging with a finesse worm? Sure do, a LOT. I use a 2/0 Gammy Octopus hook and rig it exposed point or weedless (same hook) depending on the amount of cover. I carry at least 10 bags of Zoom finesse worms with me at all times. I used two bags of them yesterday. My thought on why to wacky rig is, the presentation makes the bait look more vunerable to the fish and when pulled and given slack, it backs up when it straightens out. It also looks like you are presenting two small baits at the same time when you move it and it folds in half. Sometimes I will dip 1/2 of a bubble gum worm in chart. dye to get the orange color and have a short pink and a short orange worm together. I do that with the Trick worm also.

PRESENTATION & BAIT ACTION are completely different, it 's an excelent example on how a rigging technique can change dramatically the way the bait moves ( ACTION ) and bring a different way the fish visualizes the bait ( PRESENTATION ). When you wacky rig a bait instead of having one action you have two, first: instead of having one appendage calling the attention of the fish ( the tail ) you get two appendages ( the tail and the head ), just by wacky riggng the bait you doubled the number of appendages ---> more attention; second: since you changed the center of gravity now the bait sinks in a different pattern, it darts from one side to another because it presenta a larger surface resistance.

More hangups ? man, there are weedless hooks intended for that purpose.

Wow. you guys got it going.  :

Before wacky became popular we used to use this method on the gin clears lakes around boat docks using a green pumpkin Zoom centipede. I still do at times.

I save my raggedy t-rigged senkos and wacky rig them with o-rings.  Kinda of 2 for 1.

A photo of a 2/0 Gammy Octopus hook #02412 rigged exposed point and weedless. Note: I always mash the barb down-usually it breaks off. It makes removal easier since the hook shank is so short-doesn't result in any lost fish. About 2000 bass caught on this rig in 2006 (mainly the weedless setup) including one over 9# and one over 10#
