About the Wacky Rig
Hook a Senko-style stick bait through the middle and let it sink — that's it. Both ends flutter and wave on the fall, and bass absolutely cannot resist it. The wacky rig is the great equalizer: when nothing else is working, when the pressure is high, when the water is clear, drop a wacky rig next to a dock or laydown and watch your line move sideways. Patience is the only skill required.
