I fished some wacky rigged Senkos (hooked through the body) recently, and was successful, but those Senkos took a beating. Wanted to try using O rings, but wasn’t sure if I should try HD, Lowe’s, etc. Then I remembered I have a hoard of 100 grain Rocky Mountain Revolution broadheads for bowhunting that use O rings to keep the blades closed until impact. I bought about 100 of them for $125.00 (that was a real steal), and they came with numerous packs of replacement O rings. Hmm-m-m...would they fit?

 

Lucky day today!

 

 

 

Gotta love it when things around the house become multipurpose!

 It would be a real hoot if an O ring that was on a broadhead that passed thru a buck or doe wound up helping to lure in and land a nice bass. 

Sweet!  Those fit perfectly.

Well, nice is in the eye of the beholder. No hits pretty much all day on wacky rigs.  Just before leaving I found a bank with some overhanging trees and the water was clear with a sandy vs muck bottom. Second cast this bass hammered the 5” Senko as soon as it hit the water. Just a bit under two lbs but put up a great fight!

 

And the Senko made it through unscathed!
