What hook is everyone using on their wacky rigs? I'm going to try wacky rigging for the first time tomorrow so I'm just trying to decide on what hook to use.

Tonight I was using a 1/0 offset worm hook with good results.

CJV reply :

The best weedless wacky hooks that I have found are the Trokar weedless wacky hook and the owner camo green weedless wacky hook both are super.

Crestliner2008 reply :

I'm a fan of the Gamakatsu INLINE Circle hooks, size 1/0. I've caught everything on them. They work. However, if you are fishing in weeds, your best bet is to probably rig Texas style vs. wacky. It'll take just as many.

WIGuide reply :

I really like the Trokar Weedless Wacky hooks

PersicoTrotaVA reply :

Owner wacky hooks and wacky jigheads. I used the VMC jigheads and they work great. I want to try the Jackalls and see how they work. I use 2 sizes, a 1 and a 2/0 and for the jigheads I use 1/16 and 1/8 oz.

jiggz125 reply :

I have had decent sucess with VMC Ike Approved Weedless Wacky Hooks. Lakes I fish are full of weeds now so I need the hook to be weedless.

Fishes in trees reply :

I prefer the Falcon K-wacky weedless hooks. I use the 1/16 oz weighted ones the most.

VegasFishing reply :

Gamakatsu 1/0 finesse weedless hooked perpendicular through 1/2 inch shrink tubing for soft plastic durability.

Jay Ell Gee reply :

2/0 owner weedless wacky in green has been my best producer. It caught the bass in my avatar pic.

I wouldn't mind trying the weedless Trokar, but nobody around here seems to carry them.

LunkerFisher reply :

2/0 Gammy finesse wide gap in red (not weedless) hooked through the senko.

olegs reply :

2/0 owner weedless wacky

Bluebasser86 reply :

2/0 Gamakatsu Wide Gap Finesse hook. If I need a weedless hook I go with the VMC weedless wacky hook.

Balshy Fishing reply :

Wait, hook color matters?

All this time I've been getting the regular silver hooks. This is a bit of news to me.

Alonerankin2 reply :

I don't stress much( lol ) about hook color, but have to believe hook style and strength is pretty important when fishing this way. I like Owner 3/0 mosquito hooks.. As well as 2/0 SSW owners ( cutting points ).... But I know in my bag of hooks.. There's a hook in there that will work....almost ANY.. Will work... See what works BEST , for you.

Wpcat6611 reply :

I have been using a 2/0 red mosquito hook but I think I need to either use a bigger one or something eles gut hooked the last few fish I caught on it ;/

tentimesover reply :

When fishing wacky, weedless is a necessity -- and, I like the Trokar weedless wacky hook the best of any that I have tried.

Nick49 reply :

I have used a variety of hooks, including circle hooks, and find that a 1/0 octopus hook is ideal.

slainempire reply :

another vote for gamakatsu wide gap finesse hooks. 2/0 mostly but sometimes break out the 1/0 for smallmouth if i seem to be missing some.

The Fisher reply :

Owner wacky hook

Swampstud reply :

Ive lost so many fish and tried many hooks. Whats frustrated me most is those darn circle hooks. Tried all kinds of hooksets. Ill never buy anything but 3/0 trokar ewg's. Ive tried 1/0's they work great on dinks-2lbers, but those bigger fish i could never bury that hook. Bumped up to a stouter hook, and the insane sharpness of a trokar. Now as long as i have my drag locked down, i can bury that hook everytime with trokars.

Maybe it's your rods spine.

I've used many different hooks for wacky rigging recently and all have worked.

Wpcat6611 reply :

so you guys don't think they can see the ewg hooks? when wacky rigging?

Ive tried a 6'6 mh. With 15# flouro

6'8 mh fast action with 50# braid

7'0med spinning rod with 8# flouro

6'6Med spinning rod 8# flouro.

Ive settled on the 7'0 spinning rod med. Action with the trokars. If fact i cought a few today on the ol'wacky rig

CWB reply :

Trokar 2/0 weedless wacky. A bit pricey but by far the best I have used. Weedguard actually works and doesn't hinder hooksets.

moguy1973 reply :

I use size 1 or 1/0 Owner Mosquito hooks and I use a double wrapped Goody's ouchless ponytail rubber band with the hook through the "X" that the rubber band makes when it's on the senko. Works much better than the o-rings and keeps the hook perpendicular to the worm for better hookups.

PersicoTrotaVA reply :

I use a medium power extra fast action spinning rod. I don't "set the hook". I just lift up and start reeling. I have lost 2 fish on a wacky rig and both times it was my fault for trying to horse them in. Set the drag low and let that fish run with it. It may take longer to get them in but its worth it.

Are trokars really that good?

I don't think Trokars are. And they did poorly in a Field & Stream hook test.

Swampstud reply :

I was using gamagatsu(sp) hooks, i did a lil test. Found something that weighed 3-4lbs and put the point of the hook into it and slowly lifted. The gama hooks had quite a bit of flex, so much so that the hook point fell right out when i let off. Trokars flexed very lil, and the hook stuck right in after let off. I never need to resharpen trokars, like do with any other hook. I keep a nice bow in my line an wait for that "tick tick" the a steady lift an reel.
