Wacky Rig set-up

Featured Replies

Who fishes it on casting gear? And if so what rod action do you prefer?

I prefer spinning...and maybe come sringtime I can get a Cumara spinning rod for specifically that technique.  :)

I for some reason like to throw anything I can on casting gear I'm thinking of picking up a 7'0 med. casting and a 50e.

Anything 1/4 ounce and up I'll use a casting rod unless I'm trying to skip the lure up underneath something.  I just can't skip that well with a casting reel.  90% of my casting rods are Fast or Extra Fast.

Try a Cumara...you won't be sorry.

I've heard nothing but good about the 50e.

Loomis MBR 782 with a REVO STX HS...throws a weightless wacky rigged senko a mile and still has enough backbone to handle the good fish.

I use both:

Senkos:

*St. Croix LEC68MXF/Daiwa Sol

Flick Shakes:

*Loomis CR721 IMX/Daiwa Pixy

*Daiwa Fuego 6'9"ML/Fuego 2500

I usually use a 7' MH but I think a 7'0 M Fast would work the best..

Lami xc724. They don't call it the "senko special" for nothin.

Cumara for sure. Especially the 6'8" model in MH Fast. I have mines with the core100mgfv. Perfect combo.

i use a Falcon Cara T7 Micro Guide Casting Rods 6'10" Heavy with a 50e for my wacky set up

Vendetta 6'9 MH with Revo STX-HS-L. Anything over 1/32 oz.

Kelley

6'8" MXF St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass

Pflueger Supreme XT 30

I prefer spinning for this technique and I love this setup. I may try a baitcast out in the future, but I don't know that I would like it any better and I certainly don't have the patience to learn to skip with one.

I throw 5&6 inch senko type baits on a powell 683 with a revo preimier and 12lb fluoro

I throw 4 in and light 5's on a cumara 6'8 MH with a chronarch 50mg and 10lb fluoro

In really clear water or times when lighter line is called for I use a 6'6 M action spinning rod with 8lb fluoro.

spinning gear for me

fast action or xfast.

This year will be G Loomis BCR803 GLX and Shimano Curado 51e.

Should be quite effective.

I'm definitely going with the 50e for the reel but still a wavering a little on the rod...  :)

Yeah its crazy light on the Loomis... But I did buy a backup rod (Powell 683 CEF).

very nice rod for the money.
