I need some help finding out the name of a rig that was posted on BR a ltitle while ago. It was similar to a neko rig, head weighted plastic with a wacky rigged hook, but instead of the hook being wacky, it is rigged weedless, with the line coming out of the plastic at the top. I tried searching, but to be honest, I don't really know where to start? Thanks in advance. F.

Are you talking about the chicken rig?

Ding ding ding! "Chicken Rig"! Thanks guys.

What the heck....

Yes! I'm going to give that a try sometime soon. I know they'll bite it just because they haven't ever seen it. But I'm going to rig it with a Trick Worm. I even put some finish nails in my box for when I find the time to try it. I imagine this working around lilies or overhanging limbs.

I might substitute a floating worm and fish it through rip rap from the bank.

Back in the early 80's I read about this rig and I believe they called it the original wacky rig.
