What r the best weed less hooks 4 senko's?

Post by W.C »

I have been buying the Gamakatsu finesse W.G weed less hooks to fish the 7inch Senkos wacky style but hate the way they get all tangled up on the o-ring after catching a fish as well as other issues not to mention paying $6.00 dollars for just 4 hooks :shock: that sucks! Thinking of making my own but don't have much time. Anyone use anything better for less of a price?

Owners wacky hook is good, not cheap!
7" Senko wacky rigged is going to hang up in heavy weed cover; it,s the hook placement that gets you in trouble.
You maybe better off using an EWG style and Texas / skin hooking the big Senko. This will allow the Senko to go nose down thru the cover without the line getting snagged.

Be sure to try out the new CTH Double Wacky Hook , a weedless version is coming or already has , great hook or should I say hooks plus your Senkos last a lot longer :D

Such a good question, and where you fish will probably determine how "weedless" a deal you are willing to try. The most weedless are the most fishless, from what I've tried over the years. The physics of a wacky rig puts the point out front where it can or will get snagged. However, coming from the Westy Worm (two exposed hooks) Generation I'm about 50 percent of the time using nylon guard with the Owner or just going to a smaller beak hook with no weedguard. The bulk of its plastic blocks most of the trouble--but you do have to watch your line. And for the next question, do I care if it's one fish per Senko? Heck no! I'd buy a thousand more today if I could get that ratio. :wink:
