UNDERWATER SENKO: Wacky Rig vs. Texas Rig vs. Weighted Wacky Stick Bait
Come underwater and compare 7 popular stick baits! We've got the Yamamoto Senko, Yum Dinger, Gambler Fat Ace, Big Bite Baits Trick Stick, and the Magnum Baits Soft Stick, and we're comparing them in multiple sizes! We're rigging them on a wacky rig, a texas rig, and a weighted wacky hook to see which method creates the best action for each bait.
If you've ever wanted to see what your stick bait is doing below the surface, this video is for you! Is a senko really worth the money? Is a wacky rig really the best action? Its not that simple!! Pay close attention to how the different hooks completely change the action of the bait. One bait might look terrible on a wacky rig and great on a weighted wacky, or vice versa.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits in the video. We've also included links to the exact rigging components, as well as some of the rod and reel combos we use to fish these stick baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
