Put a smallie beaver on a 3/16 or 1/4 oz. Shakeyhead.... Fish it in thick brush and hang on.

Do either of you know if the 5.5 will fit into the o-wacky tool?

 

I have not used the smaller size Pocket Rocket  but with the larger size I have a feeling it might be a little difficult with that type of wacky tool. 

Concerning the Pocket Rocket baits, I'm not a big fan of fishing them wacky style, one, because I think that there are better wacky baits out there and two, because as mentioned earlier they are kinda fragile.  BUT - last fall Academy put a bunch of them on sale, so of course I had to buy some - just a few bags, of each color available on the close out aisle.

 

I got the larger size, would have gotten the smaller size also, but none were available.   The most success I've had with this bait is throwing them on a Brewer Spider Slider head, the pro model which has a slightly stouter hook.  I clip a quarter inch or so off one end so that they snug up better to the back of the jig head.

 

I haven't gotten around to trying this yet, but I think that they would work ok trimmed down some on a ned rig.

 Totally agree as it's always been my most consistent walk the dog bait. I have some of the originals and have no plans on selling them.

 

This is my other favorite soft stick bait besides the Senko, I have only used the 5.5 ".  I use the G7 wacky tool to install the O rings. 

 

Here is a link to the G7 tool  https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/G7_Worm_Tube_Pliers/descpage-G7WTP.html

 

My preferred O ring is this one made by Mustad.  https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Mustad_Wacky_O-Ring_Replacement_Pack_25pk/descpage-MWO.html

I too want to try these Mustad O rings. Can you CONFIRM one way or the other if the small or medium size is what you want for a 5 inch senko or a trick work or something? Don't want to buy one then end up having to return it for the right size.

I love the names and "4:20" size! Also, love the sweet beaver, I only fish it texas rigged but need to try some other stuff with it.

I can't believe I'm going to publicly admit this but I find some of the names of their baits and colors to be offensive.  I'm not a prude in any way but I guess I see fishing as a family friendly activity and as a man with daughters I just don't like it.  Not enough to "protest" or worry about but enough that I won't buy them.  I'm sure they don't miss my money and I have no interest in telling others what to or not to buy.  I just personally don't care for it

 

 

I guess I never really thought of it that way. You should have heard the cracks from the non anglers at work when I mentioned fishing a chatter bait. I'm 62 with children and grandchildren and I still don't get it. LOL

I'm trying but I can't find the joke in "chatter bait" either.  Maybe they think you are a "master baiter?"  I dunno....lol

Absolutely love the Flirt 4.95 & 6.95.

 

Flirt 4.95 is my go to for drop shotting on an Owner 1/0 Cover Shot hook. Works well nose hooking on a #2 Owner Sniper Finesse, but line twist is pretty bad and its not weedless.

 

Flirt 6.95 works great on a shaky head and on a Neko rig.

 

Their colors are phenomenal as well.

 

Stopped at my Local Tackle shop and noticed they have new packaging. No more stripper/female silouhettes. That made me a little upset. 

 

Luckily they had a mix of old and new packaging in some popular colors in the Sweet Beaver. I grabbed a bunch of the old packages. 

I guess I never noticed what was on the package. I'll have to remember to take a look when I get out to the garage tomorrow.

There is a "peepshow" website with the same name, but a different spelling.
