favorite dock bait?

Re: favorite dock bait?

I've been wacky-rigging my senkos, weightless, just drop it alongside trees or stickups, free fall with no action. after 8 or 11 seconds give it the slightest twitch.<br /><br />any ideas on a weedless wacky-rig? i've thought about getting some of those tiny rubberbands looping 'em between the eye of the hook and the barb, like a banjolure. <br /><br />

not at all...just be sure to not get any skin in front of the hook. also, spinning reel = no backlash.

I would think that you could use those weedless hooks with the little wire spring guard that comes up under the tip of the hook. They come in some pretty small sizes. I still see them in most of the tackle stores around here anyway.

Culprit came out with a SWEET BEAVER look-a-like and its cheaper and i think its a better bait.

I used the tiki worm this past weekend rigged it weightless and fished it over the grass like a fluke or a jerkbait it had lots of action and the fish came out and busted it.all little under 15" im going to try it at guntersville this weekend.
