Casting wacky vs. T-Rig

Featured Replies

Is there any noticeable difference in casting distance when rigging a 5" Senko wacky vs. T-Rig?

I find that a t-rig goes way further, especially if you're using a weight.  Even weightless it will go further though.  A wacky rig cathes more air, increasing the drag, reducing the distance.

Wacky Rig also catches more......................BASS

That would all depend on where you are fishing it and the conditions as well. A T-rig is a lot more versatile and can go in places where the Wacky Rig could only dream off!

Yeah, kind of what I was thinking, but then I thought that I might be over thinking it.

LOL, its a Senko Slap Fight!!!!  My Senko is bigger than yours!

Who cares how far they go, its WHERE you put the bait that counts with a Senko.  Its a "spot on the spot" bait.

Sometimes you can't reach that "where" without the casting distance.

Darnit i was just about to say that man!!!!

This bait catches fish no matter how you rig it. If you are fishing from shore and need the distance, T-Rig it. If you are targeting specific spots such as a laydown or want it to fall straight down, go Wacky style. If you want to skip it under docks etc, T-rig it.  Let the conditions and target dictate how you rig it.

No, you have it all wrong.  The correct term is:  "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine."  500 points for the first one to name the movie reference.  The two (Schwartz and Senko) are comparable in deadliness.   ;D

I cant believe I remember this. Spaceballs.

I'm pretty much "wacky" when it comes to Senkos so I can't say.  I did however find that a wacky rigged Super Fluke will fly just about as far as a T-rigged Super Fluke.

Funny movie right there.

Somebody give 500 points to this guy!  He's a genius!  

Spaceballs will always be one of my favorite movies. It is to corny not to like! They breathe air out of an aluminum can! Who in their right mind can to that?!?! And combing the desert? I dont think that movie will ever be topped for shear stupidity or brilliance (depends on how much beer I have drank!).

the grandmaster = A Schwenko !   :)

Not to mention the T-rigged wacky worm  :)

aka a flik-shake variant.  Try it this way and/or with a jig and see if it gets you to your "spot".
