Easy wacky rig technique using heat shrink tubing. Works on all soft plastics and its easy to install . Simple tools needed and it can be pre installed before your fishing trip. #fishingthedream
Once the shrink wrap is shrunk around the worm, I find it better to stick the hook through the tubing, perpendicular to the worm, as you would with a standard wacky rig. Same result of saving the worm but less likely to miss as many bites as can be done with the method of shrinking the hook parallel to the worm.
Hey Jesse. Heat shrink tubing, after shrinking, is pretty tough and hard.To run the hook through the tubing perpendicular to the worm, I super glued a sewing needle into a wine cork with the needle point facing out, and I heat the point slightly with the torch. It will easily make a hole in the heat shrink on both sides, just big enough to pass the hook through the tubing and the worm. Tough as hell then. Saves a lot of baits and gets the best hookup for me. Subbed.
@@myusernamewasused The way that I rig them it depends on the thickness and hardness of the plastic in the bait. For a thicker and denser bait like a senko type, I run the hook through the tubing and through the bait about 1/4 of the thickness of the bait. For a smaller diameter and softer bait like a roboworm, I just catch the tubing itself and not through the worm much or at all. Hope this helps.
Nice HACK! From the age of your videos I can tell that I was going bw. Check out John's channel; "Creek Fishing Adventures", or something similar. He puts out content all the time except BB season
