Wacky rig: what hooks are y’all using

[Delta Bass Fool]

I seen at Bass Resource several guys like the VMC Neco in sizes 1, 1/0 or 2

What hooks are y’all using and why?

I’m going to be using/trying the VMC wacky rings with what ever hooks I end up getting.

[BassinPaPaw]

That’s exactly what I use. Size 1 is what i prefer.

[okskeetertzx190]

That’s what I use in a size 1. I have tried the wide gap ones that are supposed to be for wacky rigs and for some reason I seem to lose more fish on those.

VMC weedless neko either 1/0 or size 1 just depends on the size of the worm.

Can you elaborate a little more as to what size hook for what size worm? Are you using rings to keep worms lasting longer?

VMC Neko size 1 or 2 for me. I used the Gamakatsu 1/0 drop shot hook but just like the neko style a little more.

[ManxFishing]

For me
it's the Gamaketsu Wide Gap Finessee weedless in 1/0
Its the perfect hook for Wacky

Owner 1/0 Weedless Wacky or Jungle

[Rangerdeepv]

Size 2 Gamakatsu Wicked Wacky hooked straight through the worm. 5" and 6"

[Wayne P.]

2/0 Gammy Octopus or Owner Mosquito for finesse worms.
3/0 Gammy Octopus or Owner Mosquito for Trick worms and stick baits.

For Senko. Haven’t found one better than the old Reaction Innovation WW But they quit making them 20 years ago. I make my own. Gamakatsu open eye shiner hook. 60 lb Flouro for weed guard.

Since I don't salt my Stick Baits I make I use these.

I usually wacky rig with a missile baits 48 and I usually throw a size one for that. I’ll step up to the 1/0 if I’m Neko rigging in open water. I use the VMC crossover rings.

[FrancoCialone]

Owner Wacky Hook in a 2/0 and sometimes, but rarely the weedless version in the same size. Never lost a fish once hooked, never any broken hooks and super sharp !

Same but I usually use 1/0 which is the size I use for Neko too. Definitely land more fish with the VMC.

I'm following this myself. I just picked up some VMC size 1 & 2 Neko Wacky hooks, as well as their crossover pliers and some rings. It will be a little while yet before I can get out, but I sure am getting antsy!!!

Same here. I just need some hooks now. Boat is down so I may end up beating the banks on foot.
