Re: wacky rig tool
I have one of these, works great. Just slide your worm in half way, slide an o ring up onto the worm, and then just position your hook under the o ring. If you fish wacky style a lot this tool will pay for itself in no time. Once in a while a worm might slide off, but it's rare. Overall it's a great product and allows you to catch several fish on a single worm.

Re: wacky rig tool
Like basswrangler said it works great. I usually use them on senkos with a drop shop hook. It makes your worms last longer they don't get tore up from hooking through the center of the worm.
Thanks for the epiphany captain obvious
Re: wacky rig tool
Agreed I have 2 (one in my travel bag and one in my regular tackle bag). They really do extend the life of you're plastic worms.

Re: wacky rig tool
i personally just use a regualr pair of needle nose pliers, put the o ring over them and open it up. then i just take the worm/senko and thread it through the hole carefully.

Re: wacky rig tool
These things are great. I bought one and use it all the time. I take all my used t-rigged senkos and dingers and use the o-ring to keep on using them to catch fish. I have a big plastic bag filled with used stick worms that I use and this tool just makes it easier to use. Yes, you can create something else to get similar results, but this is just easy to use and not that expensive. If you plan on wacky rigging worms, it's a good investment.

Re: wacky rig tool
Great tool.
I also put an o-ring on the nose of my flukes or Case SSS/SSM's. It keeps the hook from tearing off the fluke's head, and allows me to fish the same fluke all day.

Re: wacky rig tool
I bought the o-rings that bps sells for wacky rigging. But instead of buying the tool that they sell, I took an old push button ink pen and use the bottom half of it to put my o-rings on. My senkos fit perfectly inside the bottom half of the pen, plus I saved myself a few bucks.

Re: wacky rig tool
I fish Dingers and get 4 bass on average. If I used Senkos I'd invest in one tomorrow.
