Rated 5 out of 5Â by chief875 It Works!!
Caught a four pounder on my first cast using a white worm (no lie)! And a three pounder a few minutes later on a purple worm. I would like to see them give you more O-rings with the tool, but I'm a believer.

I am normally more of a power fisherman but I have to say that the wacky o tool has made me a believer in the finesse tactics!! If you have never tried wacky worming before, I gotta say get you a wacky o tool and a pack of "Strike King Zero" worms and go catch you a boat full!

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jws42784 It a bait saver
I do a lot of wacky style fishing and many time I have a worm to tear or split, now when I use the tool and get a strike it pushes the worm off the hook and up the line and persevere the worm for more bites!!

how can you set the hook good if the o ring stopping the hook from going through into the fishes mouth?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:Â
The hook point goes into the fishes mouth and the worm gets pushed up the line with the o ring holding it on. No interference whatsoever. Just make sure you hook the o ring only as if you bury it in worm it may bunch up and interfere. The ring will hold the worm on.
A:Â
It has no affect on the hook set whatsoever.A:Â
place a large (size 1 or 1/0) wide gap or circle hook under the ring, but not through the worm. I set the hook by reeling, and most fish are caught in the side of the mouth.

The idea is that the O ring goes up the hook and up the line with the worm still on. So it gets out of the way during the hook set. My issue is that with the O ring, your hook is parallel to the worm and not perpendicular which does make it a little harder for a good hookset. If you are not worried about spending the few extra bucks, then fish without it. I am not comfortable using this tool.A:Â
no problem setting hook. the o-ring just slides up the line.A:Â
when set up correctly the o ring stays out of the way. I have never lost a fish because of the o ringA:Â
The o-ring is on the worm. So the hook slids under the o-ring or between the o-ring and the worm. The o-ring WILL NOT interfer with the hook at all. In fact the o-ring allows more of the hook to be exposed rather than if you hooked through the worm itself.Together with the Gamakatsu Wicked Wacky hooks (they have a weed guard) I was able to land this 8.4 pounder.

I bought some O rings, but not this tool. Will that be a problem, or can I just put the O rings on without the tool?Answers
A:Â
Very hard to put it on the thicker style senko worms especially the 5-6 inch ones. The tool is so easy and will pay for itself very quickly with the worms you save from being thrown off.A:Â
This tool makes rigging much easier. I've seen people use ballpoint pens, but this is worth the $7.

A:Â
Get the tool. It's cheap. I noticed that the O ring is very tight on a real Senko which will damage the worm when running it up the worm. I notice this when I take the O ring off, that the color of the worm actually changes because of the stress of the O ring pulling off, and also the action decreases because the worm has been stretches out while pulling the O ring off.A:Â
you probably could put them on without tool, but it's simply a matter of convenience. for the price of a value meal at your local drive thru, it's worth not having to fidget with those things = more time fishing!A:Â
You will run the risk of tearing or streching the worm by trying to roll the o-rings on. Get the tool. Once you use it you'll be so glad you did. I can do a pack (6) senkos in a minute with the tool.A:Â
Yes you can still put the o-ring on but having this tool makes the process a breeze. You can't go wrong with this low priced essential.A:Â
You might be able to put it on by hand, but do yourself a favor. Just buy the tool. You won't be sorry did.A:Â
the tool helps, It is hard to put the o-ring on by hand without tearing up the plastic baitDetails:Â
I am new to this tool. I know folks talk about it for Senco and Stiko but do folks also use this on Berkley Gulp?I am a crankbait guy who is trying to expand to softbaits as well.
Answers
A:Â
Will work on any type plastic that fits inside the tools circumference.A:Â
Most gulp lures will be too thin for this in my experience.A:Â
the berkley gulp might slip threw the o-rings. I would recommend Strike king 3x zero's. Great FPB (fish per bait) ratio.A:Â
i havent heard of anyone using is on that but it could be interesting to use... no hurt in trying to see what happens
Details:Â
when u use this, do you have to just hook around the o ring, or do you hook the bait and the o ring???
Answers
A:Â
You wrap the o-ring around the "band" of the senko, then insert your hook between the o-ring and the worm. The hook remains exposed.A:Â
You don't put the hook into the bait - you slide the hook between the o ring and the bait thus lessening the chances of your bait being torn/ripped by the hook during use......makes a wacky rig last a lot longer.A:Â
Just the oring. Also I suggest you use the Yum Dinger 5" worm and when you need a little extra weight a 1/8 oz jig .A:Â
Just slide the hook under the o-ringA:Â
hook it through the o ring only!! when a bass takes it and you hook up the o ring and lure will slid up the line while fighting the fish. When the fish thrashes its head, instead of ripping the lure off the line, the o ring takes the pressure off the lure, thereby saving the lure.A:Â
You slide the hook through the O-ring and if you're careful it doesn't go int the bait at all. Avoid hooking the worm so as to not tear up your baits... which is the purpose of the tool!A:Â
Just slide your hook between the O-ring and your bait. The Gamakatsu Weedless Finesse Wide Gap Hook works great in conjunction with this.A:Â
Just pass the hook through the o ring only. Looks kinda goofy but works really well.A:Â
i hook it throught the worm so that it goes thru the wrom alsoA:Â
Just the O ring. some cases fish will push the worm up your line. without the oring a much greater chance of losing the senko.A:Â
I just hook around the o ring.1 of 1
