I confirmed that a wacky rigged worm catches gills
Last winter I was fooling around with a mold that produces 2 3/4" sticks (Senko shaped). They were a bit thin so I dipped them in hot plastic to add a coat of plastic. In April, I wacky rigged the stick using a 1/32 oz jighead and watched the action on the fall in my pond. The tips quivered exactly like a wacky rigged Senko!
On 5/15 I fished the rig and sunfish, bass and a pickerel slammed the bait!

Rather than let it drop to the bottom with no action added, I rod twitched the lure as it dropped, not letting it touch bottom. Guess I'll be pouring more stick today seeing as how the rain will keep me off the water for the entire day.
