O-rings for finesse works

Featured Replies

I like wacky-rigging finesse worms when i feel like i want to downsize from a senko. However the o-rings I use for senkos are to large of a diameter for finesse worms. Any of you found ab alternative size o-ring for this presentation. I really prefer to use an o-ring for wacky rigging.

I like surgical tubing for all wacky rigging, comes in diameters to fit any bait, you can customize the width, and you can orient the hook any way you want.

You can save some $ by visiting your local hardware store.  Take one of your finesse worms along and match it to the O ring. Some of the bigger stores offer bulk packaging for pennies per ring.

I wasn't even laughing about o-rings....just that is nearly impossible to leave a hardware store without buying something I didn't know I needed when I walked in

Ya, even Menards sells them at 10-for-$2.99 vs 100-for-$8.09 for the Harmony one's I linked above...on my budget, I'll stick with the Harmonys if I need more.

I bought a set of 200 at Harbor Freight for like $4.  Not all of the sizes are usable for fishing but it was still a good deal.  The bait monkey hates it when I buy fishing stuff at Harbor Freight.

LOL. In a pinch, I have used some of their sockets as a sinker when fishing bait...

I ordered a few different sizes from McMaster Carr when I was ordering some other stuff so I could combine shipping. 100pc packs are $3 - $5

Size 2-010 is 1/4” ID for finesse worms, any silicone O-ring will work.

Size 2-011 is 5/16 ID

Size 2-012 is 3/8 ID for 5”or 6”  Senko
