My thoughts on the wiggle rig 4 weeks later. 2024

atlbasser reply :

I have now been in possession of the wiggle rig kit for 4 weeks. I have fished with it many times in the last 4 weeks. By my count I have fished with the wiggle rig 16 trips now. Below is a thorough report on my experience with the wiggle rig.

I ordered the wiggle rig on a Monday. 3 days later it was on my door step. I took it out that afternoon and practiced with it from my dock in the shallow water where I could see it. This was because of a tip I received after emailing the company that sells the wiggle rigs. I emailed the owner and asked him how to set up and use the rig. Less than 3 hours later I had an email back telling me which lures work good and what techniques to use to make the bait wiggle.

So Following his advice I walked out on my dock and started practicing with the rig. It only took me a few min to figure out that I needed to do. After about 30 min of practicing with worms and flukes I felt confident enough to venture out in my Jon boat and try to catch a few bass. Let me tell you. This little rig really does make the worms and flukes and craws look like they are alive. The lures looked so real that I wanted to bite into them. What you see in the videos on there site is what you will see when you try it for your self.

I set out in my little boat and headed to my favorite spot. I tied on the wiggle rig with about a 18-20" leader going to the hook. On the hook I placed a 6" culprit in fire and ice. I worked the rig until I felt it "hang" on a piece of limb or grass and proceeded to bounce my rod tip about 1". After the first cast being un successful I casted closer to the bank and hung the rig on a limb on a downed tree that was in about 3' of water. This time after only 30-40 seconds of wiggling the worm I had a big blow up and set the hook. After a short fight I landed a 3 lb 5 oz bass. I threw back to the same area and pulled out 4 more bass in the 1-2.5 lb range. I continued to work the banks in my small pond and wound up catching 14 bass in just over 2 hours.

I didn't get to fish for 2 more days. This time we went over to a friends farm pond and I fished flukes on the wiggle rig. I watched the slapping technique video on the site and that's what I used most of the day. The blowups were awesome. Just about every bass I hooked came up out the water to get the fluke. I caught a 4 lb-11 oz and around 27 in the 1-3 lb range. This was in 5 hours of fishing.

Went out in my pond the next day and this time I knew what action to put on both worms and on flukes. I tied wiggle rigs on 2 rods. 1 for flukes and 1 for worms. I started working the dam of my pond where I rarely catch bass at. I would throw the worm and if I didn't get a hit I would try a fluke. I found that the deep bass (10-15' down) would not hit the worm but would nail the super fluke. So I started working the structure around the dam and wound up catching 11 bass from a spot a rarely catch bass at. When the bite stopped there I moved to a few neighbors docks and started working them just like I would drop shooting. Casting right to the end of the dock and wiggling the worm. I caught 1 girl weighing in the 3 lb range and several dinks and 1-2lbers. It was getting dark so I decided to head in for the night.

The next weekend I got to fish a rarely fished farm pond near Augusta GA. I posted a report about that day in the wiggle rig thread but I will add it here.

I Took the kit to a friends pond near Augusta GA on Sunday. I had the rig on a 24" 10 lb floro leader with a 3/0 gamakatsu ewg. On the hook was a baby bass colored super fluke. I spent about 20 min practicing on the bank. Once in the water we headed for some downed trees we saw and I threw right beside the trunk of one of the trees. I started Wiggling the fluke and after about 15 seconds I hooked a 3 lb 6 oz large mouth. I threw back to the same tree only 5 or 6 feet down the trunk. After about 1 min of wiggling I pulled a 2 lb 9 oz large mouth out. I worked the rest of the tree and moved 15 yards or so down to the next one. Worked the trunk the same way and pulled 4 bass out fro underneath it. 2 were in the 2 lb range 1 was a dink, the 4th and last one from that tree went 5 lbs 12 oz. My friend was fishing with a GYCB senko in watermelon and only pulled 2 bass total out of both spots.

While moving to a shady spot we found a small but sharp drop off on the fish finder. I threw to it and hooked what I believed to be in the 8-10 lb range. He wrapped himself around a stump deep in the water and I lost him.

I did pull out 1 more that was around a pound.

We moved to a shady spot in the pond and worked the bank for 100-200 yards. I had switched to a 6" June bug zoom and brought in 6 more bass in the 1-3 lb range. I didn't get to weigh the last 4 or any more during the day as the batteries died in my scales. (Rapala Digital scales.)

My friend was getting tired and wanted to go in for a bit. (He only caught 4 bass the whole time) So I asked him if we could hit 1 more spot before we went in. He agreed and we moved to the spill way area. The water here is around 14 feet deep and full of downed trees, roots, and a sunken wooden bridge. (It used to let you walk onto the spill way to check for damage.) This 100 yards was my most productive spot of the day. My friend did ok here too.) I changed my leader to 3 feet and was casting around all the different structure. Same June bug worm. I pulled out 12 bass and 3 jack fish. The largest of the bass would have went in the 4-5 lb range. The smallest would have went close to 2 lbs. One of the jack fish was huge. I'm guessing he went 8+ lbs.

All in all I lost 4 of the tear drops as the swivel cut the Spectastic cord like its supposed to. I went through 4 of the Spectastic cords. I caught 29 fish 26 of which were bass. My buddies who fished with stenos and jigs all day only caught 10 fish all of which were bass.

The next time I got to fish it was 3 days later and the wiggle worms I ordered had came in. I ordered the wiggle worm in pink, white, and pumpkin seed and the wiggle peanut in pink. I was fishing the peanut on a #4 long shank hook and was throwing into bream beds that I could see. I wound up pulling over 18 blue gill off of 3 beds. These were nice double palm sized blue gill. Once the bream were off the beds I switched to a white wiggle worm and was throwing it into the bed and wiggling it out to the edge and then onto deeper water. This method produced over 31 bass in 3 hours. 2 went 3 lbs and change. Then I switched to a 10" culprit in red shad and started working this huge hickory tree that was laying in the water. This tree went from the bank all the way to 10' deep water. I pulled a few small ones out and then on my last cast before I was going to head in I felt my rod almost jump out of my hands. I set the drag and began to fight this girl. After about a 10 min fight I had landed a 7 lb 4 oz bucket mouth. I decided that was a nice ending to a awesome day and headed in after kissing her on the head and letting her swim back to safety.

All in all I would have to conclude that the wiggle rig works. It does what the site and every one says it does. The action put on the lure is just like what you see in the video. If anyone has any doubts about it don't. It works folks. I just put in an order for some of the wire kits and more tear drops. As well as some peanuts in watermelon and pink. I have now fished this rig in 7 different ponds and 1 lake and it produces fish every where I go. I cant wait to try it on stripers next spring.

EDITED FOR SPELL CHECK

StandOut reply :

The Wiggle rig is just a tool, in comparison, just like a hammer and a rock are tools that can drive a nail, up until now fishermen have only had a "rock" That's all they have ever known, they think the rock could never be improved on. The rock has always worked as well as anything they have ever known,

That's because they have never seen a hammer used, they have never seen what a "skilled" person can do with a hammer, they have never seen the speed a nail could be driven with a hammer, and they have never seen a nail removed with anything,, the hammer works both ways.

The Wiggle rig gives the fisherman "total" control of his lure's action, control he has never even thought he needed,, because he never thought it could ever be done. It is an entirely different "way" to fish. It does require the fishermen to experiment, to practice, no two fishermen will work their lures exactly the same way on the Wiggle rig, but no two animals that fish feed on move the exact same way either.

Here is a photo from another customer I received last week,, Lee Smith from souther MS. got back seated by his buddy, he was only able to fish water after his partner had fished it, Lee Kicked his buddy's butt, the were both using the same plastic worm,, in the same color, Lee was using a hammer, and his buddy a rock I understand Lee caught 7 times as many fish as his buddy

Here is his email address, ask him yourself

Yes very good report indeed. I have tried practicing with it using my hot tub, lol. I tell you the action on

that seems to work very well. I am going fishing this week and the next so I will let you know how

it went.

What this rig does is takes lure presentation from 2 dimensional, to 3 dimensional, like real nature, that's why the catch rates go up so much. It also allows you to "wait" for fish to come to the lure, to keep it in the one spot where they are, and to vary the action until you make them hit it,, no fishing technique in the history of fishing has allowed all this. The rig does nothing, it just allows the fisherman to do "almost" anything with their lures. it takes practice to master it, so it's not for those who just want to cast and reel, and let the lure manufacturer control the lure's action.

Although this rig allows fishing in one spot,, the fisherman has the option to cover water with it, like other rigs,, they just still catch more fish due to the increase of "natural" action and vibration that is placed on the lure with this rig.

No one or company has ever offered a

"total" instant Money back warranty, without even having to return it, on any product in the world,, yet this is what I offer. That has to tell you something

I have them but have not tried them as the Senko and finesse worm bite is still strong in Virginia.

But I will try them, both on local ponds and at the Mattaponi River, the worse bass habitat in Virginia at this time.

atlbasser reply :

Hey guys.

No I did not get any royalties from the post and I dont want any I am just your average weekend fisherman and fish just for the relaxation of it. I am guessing standout is the owner of the company. Sir if you are thanks for such a great product. As soon as I run out of stuff expect another order from me. This rig you have made is awsome and it is now the only thing I fish with. I take it and several packs of various worms and flukes with me. This rig has let me size down what I take in the boat considerably. All I take is 2 rods, my wiggle rig kit, and about 5 packs of soft plastics. I cant wait untill next spring and I can sight fish on the beds for those huge mommas.

Btw you can post the report on your site if you would like. I dont mind.

burleytog reply :

Yep, working now.

This report has piqued my interest. Time to visit the site again and give it another look see...

johnkook73 reply :

Well I finally used it this morning.

Place was a local pond my friend owns. About 20 Acres.

Conditions were humid and sunny. Temp about 78 then shot up to about 90.

We usually start off with topwater, Got a few hits but it died and nothing was biting.

Used a Zoom Brush Hog and caught 3 for the day.

After they stopped biting the Brush Hog, me and my brother (who is home from the military and

hardly ever fishes and doesnt have any experience at all) put on the wiggle rig using the pink

wiggle worms it came with. I caught 2 in about 15 minutes, about a pound each. My brother landed

one 4 lbs and another that he lost at the boat. He got alot of hits but couldnt set the hook right. I

caught 2 more weighing about 2lbs. We fished for about 3 hours total. Overall I say this is a good

product and worth getting for sure. When things got slow the wiggle rig came out on top. I will be

ordering some more wiggle worms and kits really soon. Cant wait to try this on the river and lakes.

Thanks, John.

Get the tear drop kits,, they come through everything about the best, order 4 and I will throw in some wire weight sets, for you to use any slip weight with (also let you use all those supplied SpecTastics with the other 4 kits)

The SpecTastics wear out, so I try to supply enough to last till you loose your weights with each kit,, I'm being told people loose their weights before they run out of SpecTastics, so I ether reduce the number of SpecTastics in each kit,, or I "give" people the hardware to use them,, I would rather give them the hardware

jb_adams reply :

OK, I just took another look at the site. The baitmonkey convinced me that this is not a "chatterbait" craze. This thing has got to work for me. It's something that I know the local bass haven't seen and the logic of how the bait works is just too simple. I bet you could kill summer bass with a trick worm on this rig.

My lake has water that is clear up to 10ft. I can drop shot this thing up to 20ft and they could still see the bait. I bet I can even push 30-40ft with a brighter colored worm and maybe a rattle of sorts. Maybe a c-rig clacker.

I can't wait to get an order in. I tried telling my fishing buddy but he's non responsive. I'll order a kit of these and he'll quit rolling his eyes at me when I start catching fish!

My Version of combination:WIGGLE LURE/STINK BAIT

If your going to put something down, you should at least know just a "little" about it

The Wiggle rig is "NOT" a lure, it is a new technique of lure "presentation" that works with most soft plastic lures. According to the History channel's Modern Marvels it has brought fishing into the 21 st century.

If you search the internet , you will find every lure, regardless of how good it is, getting bashed by someone that has used it. In all my searches, i have not found even one person, "who has tried it",, bash it, (plenty who have never tried it, bash it) I have also never been asked to return anyone's money, although I don't even require they return the kit, all they have to do is email me for a refund. (I'm sure that will happen someday, by someone wanting to stop me from just saying that)

Show me "any" lure, or terminal tackle company that offers such a warranty ?????????????????

Heck,, show me any company that warrants "ANY product" in the World that way ??????????????

THERE IS NOT ANOTHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure there are some fishermen, some where, who "don't want" total control of their lure's action

I just have not met one yet

I have found a few tournament guys, who are machine gun cast and retrievers, they want to cover huge areas of the water fast, not even knowing they drag those lures past 25 bass for every 1 they catch, if they can't win on a spinner bait, or crank bait,, then they just won't win. When those bites are on,, they do well,, trouble is, those bites don't stay on, it's time to slow down, and catch every bass, not just 1 in 25.. but Each to their own

I thought it was funny,, ;D he did not get me angry, I don't mind bashers either, actually I would much rather see what they are thinking, than have them just think it, I can't answer what I don't know their objections are.

I really didn't Mean to jump on him,, I was really just answering what many on this group are "thinking"

There have been so many SCAMS out there in this industry, so many MAGIC lures, fishermen have been burned for years by people making all kinds of claims of their tackle.

When something comes along that is on a completely new page, not just some version of the same old things, it makes everyone think , it can't be real. I've had people tell me I used camera tricks to get those actions, especially this one

http://ezknot.com/Storm3.wmv

Any person can get the same action with this Storm lure, and just 2 min. of practice with it.

Now you tell me,, would that action work better than just jerking that lure through the water , like it was designed to be fished ?

Nope, I don't have the resources yet, that requires two cameras and a split screen video, it would be the only way to zoom in on both the rod tip, and the lure at the same time. It's in the plans to develop such a video and put it on an instructional DVD. If i ever get this company off the ground

Please do,, but remember lure presentation is just part of catching fish,, you still have to find them, and in a tourney you have to find bigger fish than everyone else, or be able to catch them better once they are found,

The major "flaw" the Wiggle rig has,, it won't catch fish when they are not there

Some day perhaps,,, I will invent something that will ;D

You must be able to put your lure where the fish are with this rig,, if they are suspended at 12 feet, in 30 feet of water, your not going to catch many with this rig.

Practice with the rig prior to using it in a tourney, learn how to get the lure action you want for absolute best results, but rarely has it not out preformed every other rigging method for soft plastics, the first time a fisherman uses it, but i want to catch "every bass" not just a few more than others.

Remember to , it is just a rig,, you still need to use the right lures for the conditions.

If i don't catch a bass after three cast,, I'm changing lures (of course this is where I know there are bass)

atlbasser reply :

Just wanted to add an update.

I got the white wiggle worms in yesterday. I sent standout an email and asked him which hook to use. He sent me an email back saying that a long shank #4 was the best. So I wigged up the white wiggle worm on the rig with about a 24" tag going to the wiggle rig from the hook.

Let me tell you that this worm kicks butt. I casted to the bank and worked the wiggle worm slowly back to the boat barely wiggeling the rod tip while lifting the rod dragging the rig back to the boat. taping the rod but makes this work look like a earth worm dropped in the water. Every cast when the worm was in about 4-6 feet of water produced a fish. I dont mean every other cast or every few cast I mean EVERY CAST. I was catching bass, brem, warmouth and a large bluegill. Even pulled in 1 small crappie. I only fished from 7 pm to 8 pm as it was hot. But I wound up catching a total of 37 fish. I dont remember the count for each type but I know I kept 12 blue gill in the 3/4 to 1 lb range. This white wiggle worm kicks but. Its a fish killer. If you want to catch fish the whole time I sujjest buying some.

Just wanted to add an update.
I got the white wiggle worms in yesterday. I sent standout an email and asked him which hook to use. He sent me an email back saying that a long shank #4 was the best. So I wigged up the white wiggle worm on the rig with about a 24" tag going to the wiggle rig from the hook.

The white worm was really just a mistake,, when they did a "test" run on my mold, they had white plastic in the injector, me and the owner went up stairs to his office, while they we setting up the mold,, we got talking, and lost tract of time, when we got back they had run 4,000 white worms on the mold.

I told him I didn't want to buy any white worms,, Heck I had never seen a white worm in a store, much less ever fish with one. I went ahead and placed the order for the colors I wanted the worm shot in,, the next day I went to pick those up,, and he gave me those 4,000 white worms for free. I threw them in my office, didn't know what I was going to do with them. The next Saturday, my son called and wanted to fish for a couple of hours,, I grabbed a bunch of the new Wiggle worms,, and what the heck, grabbed a few of those white ones.

When we got to the lake the water was fairly stained, visibility about 2 feet. He rigged up a green pumkin seed, I rigged up a pink wiggle worm, we wiggled those worms for at least 30 min. not a bite, he walked back to the truck and came back with a white wiggle worm,, I started laughing, on his first cast he caught a 3 lb spotted bass on that little white worm, after two more cast he had another one. H'mmm,, I put a white one on my rig, third cast I had a little 1 lber, we both were catching bass, about 1 every 5 min. or so.

Since then the white Wiggle worm has out caught every other lure in my tackle box. I had never even heard of a white worm , but a few fishermen told me they had used white worms before,, so someone is selling them. I'm down to about 500 of those worms now,, I guess I'm going to have to tell him to shoot white ones for me very soon,, I may even get the Peanut shot in white,, heck white jigs and grubs have always caught fish,, why not a white worm,, they can really see the thing,, that's for sure

Nope,, when I first invented the very first version of the Wiggle rig, I made a deal with B.A.S.S. they got the first story on the rig in Bassmasters, if they would never ban it in tournaments. Of course the first version no self respecting pro would ever throw,, the "Wiggle rig" is a whole different story,, it won Best Of Show at the Bass Master Classic, and is used by many of the top pros

Any good picture son how to rig it. Maybe I'm just tired, but the wire thing doesn't click with me, not sure what I'm even looking at on the site. But the videos look AWESOME and I want a couple!!! Pics or good descriptions on how to rig it ? Looks like a great touch up on a regular drop shot.

Don't limit this rig to drop shotting conditions, it totally replaces Carolina and Texas rigging applications as well, out produces "BOTH" at least 5 to one, in every head to head test we have done.

Plus it can be fished where "no other" rig can, like behind a log where you have 12 inches of water to work,, or a weed pocket 75 feet from the boat,, bedding bass you make just one cast to a bed, the lure stays in the bed (moving) until you pull it, AND THE BASS out of the bed ;D

As far as rigging the Wire weight system,, the wires slip into any slip weight (bullet, egg, or even Mojo), you then bend the wires 180 degrees, so they will catch any thing on the bottom (but they will never hard snag your weight),, you attach the SpecTastic by putting into the wire's lock swivel (a number 7 drop shot swivel attached to the wire), the other end of the SpecTastic goes into another one of these swivels that is tied to the end of your line.

What makes the wire so good is you can use very light weights,, the wire holds it in place by partially snagging stuff, but "springs free from everything" with about 1 Oz of pull. If your lead ever hard snags in rocks, the wire pulls completely out of the weight, all you loose is the lead,, just slide those wires into another weight and you fishing again in seconds, you didn't loose anything else

David P reply :

Where's the hook go?

Line from your reel goes into the swivel which is attached to the weight with the wire in the weight... So where's the hook in this equation? Sorry if these questions are dumb, I might be tired and look at this tomorrow and see it clearly..

The "end" of your line is "tied" to the swivel,, this is rigged similar to a drop shot rig,, the hook goes a ways up the line above the swivel

I might as well confuse you some more,, for working your lures close to the bottom, it can also be rigged like this

This method keeps the lure tight on the bottom,, but depending on the angle your fishing, the bottom could restrict some of your action,, not necessarily a bad thing, because in many cases all you need is a little action anyway,, especially on a worm.

The swivel in this case is "not" tied to the line, but is slipped on the lien prior to tying your hook on, this allows the Wiggle rig to slide like a Carolina rig

the wire weight system just replaces that drop shot weight on the end of this rig

I offer 4 different weight set ups, It would have taken too many photos to show each one rigged this way,, perhaps I need to do thumbnails, then a person could blow up each one, if they wanted to see each weight system fully rigged ?

On the "buy" page each weight is shown attached to the SpecTastic, but not fully rigged

http://ezknot.com/wigglekit.html

The "Spectra" elastic goes into these drop shot swivels and locks, this photo shows a drop shot weight (that snags all the time in brush and rocks)

Here are the various weights that can be used with the wire system and how they are bent

I have read all the posts and its seems you have a good product. I would suggest that you try to make your web page a little more reader friendly. No offense, but your website looks little a 15 year olds myspace page. I would lose the repeating jpeg background, the mix matching fonts/sizes and try to do something cleaner and easier to understand what is being purchased. I tried to figure out what the others are buying but am completely lost. I asked a colleague to help and he was just as lost as I was. Could you provide a direct link to the teardrop rig?

This weekend was some hard fishing. With temps over 100 for a week and a high pressure system that hasnt left the south east for 2 weeks the bass were few and far inbetween. Well for my friends they were. I went out with some fishing buddies from church and they are self proclaimed spinner bait and jig men. They kept telling me how I should tie on a spinner bait and forget about this "new gimmic" I call the wiggle rig. I tried showing them how it works and they just rolled there eyes. So I told them that they were free to fish with what ever they wanted but dont start to cry when I am the only one catching fish. There was 3 of us on a Javlin 2 up front and one in the back (me). So We motor across the lake and start workign drop offs and points. I am wiggeling a white wiggle worm (it has now became my go to lure) and caught 4 bass in the first 30 min. They kept saying that we were in a bad place and that they wanted to move so I told them to move then. We moved to another bank that had plenty of shade and structure and even a sunken road bed. So they managed to catch 2 each in the next hour where as I caught 8. None were too big but they were still caught fish. So we move to some sunken trees they knew and they were throwing 1/2oz to 1 oz jigs . I asked if the trees were christmas trees and they said yes. So I set my tag line going to the wiggle rig to 3 feet and started working the tree pile. I caught 6 more bass on this spot and 4 crappie and 2 shell cracker. 1 caught 1 small dink and the other managed a 4 lber on a spinner bait throwing out into 60 feet of water casting close to 100 yards away from the boat into the middle of the cove we were fishing in. But it was a fluke because that was his last fish for the day. We moved over to a spot close to the dam and I saw some shiners schooling near a downed tree and saw a few bass chasing them. I picked up my rod with the 2 flukes rigged to it and a 18" leader to the wiggle rig. I started casting over to the downed tree and finaly reached it and managed to hang the wire on the wiggle rig on one of its limbs. I then began to make the flukes dance on the surface of the water when the shiners would get close. I caught 3 large mouths, 2 whities, a jack fish and 1 war mouth all from this 60' long downed tree. This was the end of our day as all of us were wore out due to the heat. So we headed in and after it was all over and we had the boat loaded up the guys asked me where they could get the wiggle rigs from. I pointed them towards standouts website. I also told them about this great site.

I hope I get to start posting more on this site. I do alot of reading but not that much posting. I just work so dang much that the only time I get to post is either late at night or earliy in the morning. Working full time and having a G/f and trying to start a soft plastics company is time consuming. I do hope to have my first hand pours out in the next month tho but that is a topic for when I become a sponsor of this great site.

Hey standout do you sell those casting style weights seperately? I have alot of the swivles and cord left but I need some more of the casting style sinkers. I only bought the 6 buck kit of them and the big kit of the wires. I like the wires but like the casting style with the lock swivle in them too. I lost them all but one in the spot I fish alot at a friends pond where there are 4 trees laying side by side and the limbs are all tangled together. I also want to try out one of those knot tools you sell. If I order one do they come with directions?

yes, on the weights

No, on the EzKnots ,you download the instructions (condensed version) ,, it helps me keep the price low, packaging and instructions on such things can cost more that the product. The EzKnot can be used for tying for so many different applications, it would take a small book to show how to do them all in detail,, since I only sell these from the internet, people have access to all of the directions.

Although it's just "one" knot to learn,, it's applied differently in each application.

Here is the hook snell, it takes 5 sec. to tie

Here is the same knot,, just a slight difference for lures and hook, this takes 7 sec. to tie

Then we have the Line to line,, same knot tied twice, it's the smallest line to line knot there is, and it is very strong joining braid to mono

The contest (tournament) is on another board, I hope to be running one here when the weather cools off a bit, I wish I had waited on the other one, as the S.E. right now is not a time to be fishing. Some fishermen here are members of both forums, the other tournament has an open registration for the tournament, for another week or so. I'm not going to advertise the other web site here,, that is, or should be a No-No

santeebasser24 reply :

Yes sir, I understand about different websites, that is why I din't state any. Just wanted to get more involved. I agree that fishing may be a little tough now across the board, but the fishing in S.C. has got HOT! with the weather Just hope it will stay this way lol. :

Thanks standout. I will be ordering some more weights and one of the knot tools. That line to line knot looks awsome for leader attachment or fly line to mono attachment.

Tried it all week of July 14 thru the 22 everyday, didn't get nothen not even a hit. caught very little on carolina as well-strippers were still moven but, not much action for me, exspecially on the wiggle rig >

I plan on bringing it back out again someday soon

I have a lot of emails and letters,, but not from this group yet,, think about it,, your fish that have seen thousands of lures, in high pressure lakes,, have never seen them like this.

I personally fished Lake Paris out in Ca. about the highest pressure lake in the country, the limit for bass on that lake is 2, it is a high pressure lake that is also very clear, the two professionals I was with, back seated me, every trick they knew to keep the guy in back off the fish,, and they also give me a reel with 20 test, High Vis. line that was so old it looked like I was throwing a Slinky. They were both fishing Fluorocarbon,, about 6 Lb test, they drop shotted, Carolina rigged, Pig and jigged, and I Wiggled, I caught 27 bass in three hours, they caught 7 between them.

I received a hand written letter today from a "old" guy in Harrisburg Pa., I'm going to scan it,, then I'm going to frame it.

If I can get my scanner working tonight I will post it,, it's better than any testimony I have ever recived

I understand,, I have just not been on this board long enough,, and the fishing conditions have really stank for all fishing the last two weeks, in most places.

I have this,, An email from a tournament guy in New York state

Hi Rodney,

Here are a few photo's of Jason and myself holding some of our tourney fish from 2006. We had a wonderful fish filled season taking 15 wins, 8 tourney lunkers and 23 tourney large mouths that weighed in over 5 pounds each....in N.Y. waters.

Thanks so much for designing such a great product.

Thanks

This guy has made two orders with me totaling 50 dollars over the last 30 days,, I just could not believe this letter,, I have added little extras from time to time in orders, and i have never had a single fishermen even really thank me,, well maybe a few when I through in a few lures or something,, but sometimes I put a little more of something in a kit or add a few worms to their bag of 20. I guess no one even counts them, I know I wouldn't

johnkook73 reply :

Today I went to a small lake about 45 minutes from me after a friend of mine got off from work so we

got about 2 hours of fishing in. There was a cold front that went through the night before and it was 89

degrees out. This was the first time I have ever fished at this lake. Here is what I tried, Senko worms

wacky style, finesse worms weightless, and the wiggle rig using a

Zoom Baby Brush Hog (Pumpkin with red flakes), Zoom Curly Tail worm(Cherry Seed), and a Zoom

Baby Fluke. I have to admit the only thing I caught was with the wiggle rig. I tried the other stuff

about the equal amount of time. Total was 1 bass with the Baby Brush Hog, 3 bass with the Zoom Curly

Tail, and 1 Grennel with the Zoom Curly Tail. I did not catch anything using the Baby Fluke. My buddy

had the Goose Egg and I rubbed it in, hehe because he usually outfishes me. Thanks again for the

Wiggle Rig.

atlbasser reply :

Great report.

I caught 13 yesterday afternoon in a friends pond. Was using the wiggle rig with a tiki stick and white wiggle worms. I also fished the tiki stick without the wiggle rig and only hung into one that I didnt get in.

I havent't tried any senko worms yet, Anybody have any suggestions on color if they used them with the

They maynot be the right lure for the rig. there are better choices out there to use with the wiggle rig but I have had some success with the sweet potato pie colored tiki sticks as well as the charteruse colored ones. When I fish a senko style bait on it I use an octopus hook with an O ring rigged wacky. I also slide a 2 ball glass rattle in one side of the wacky senko.

When I say some success I mean that I have caught about 15 bass using a senko on the wiggle rig. I find it better to use a soft highly flexible worm like a culprit (6" 10" and 12") or the zoom 6" curl tails. Nothing beats the wiggle worm in any color on the wiggle rig imo though. I have caught so many more fish sice I got my order of them in. I love the pumpkin seed ones for clear water with a bright sun and the pink ones for bluegill are killer. The white ones seem to kick butt in every condition I have fished them in. From clear water and bright skys to muddy murky water with overcast skys. I like to take a red spike it pen and color the "head" of the worm red and also put a few red dots around the hook area .

I just picked up a pack of "tomato" colored culprits that have a deep red core with a translucent charteruse outter skin. I dont know how well they are going to work but I plan on finding out tomorrow.

I also have some Zoom style finesse worms coming in that are 8.5" long. I have a buddy in fl who is making them for me. Each pack has 20 in it and I got 6 packs. Pumpkin seed, june bug, charteruse, white, cotton candy, and what he calls patriot which is a knock off of culprits fire and ice. What I like about them is the fact that they are so long and skinny that they should be awsome on this wiggle rig. He said he would pour mine extra soft so we will see how they do.

I will report back with the results from the "tomato" culprits and the 8.5" finesse hand pours.

Francesco ITA reply :

Hi all, I'm new to the site and I'm Italian, needless to say I immediately bought the "wiggle rig" as soon as I came trough it surfing the web, can't wait to receive it !

I was wondering if it works during the winter months too, very difficult time of the season on this side of the pond.
