I am wondering if fishing a wacky rigged stickbait in very stained almost muddy water is a technique that will work? Will it produce enough water displacement or will I basically have to hit the fish on the head with it? I am thinking when it's twitched it would move enough water but I am not sure. I have a tournament on very stained water this weekend and think it would really produce around the abundance of shallow,  visible cover in this pond,  is this a good idea or not?

I wacky rig a finesse and Trick worm in all water colors, works great. I don't do any twitching though, just a slow 1'-2' pull and give it slack to fall to the bottom.

I do just fine in the nasty stained water around here with senkos and trickworms rigged Wayne P. style.

I weight mine most of the time and do a lot of crawling along the bottom like using a t-rig with twitches. It is my belief that a little weight will cause more vibrations from the bait. Clear water I would want a slow natural fall.

The wacky technique will work in stained or muddy water.

The secret is the bait's color.

Try pumpkinseed with black flake; pumpkinseed with a touch of chartreuse on the tail; and black; or black and grape.

You will have to experiment with colors to see what will work on your wacky, Texas or Carolina rig plus pitching and flipping.
