<p>Quick update on the mini wacky worm rig. The 'gills seemed to bite better while the worm slowly sinks, not as much when it was suspended under the float. So, I modified the hook by adding a little lead wire (0.010" dia) to help the worm break thru the water surface tension, for a little faster drop and for a bit more casting distance . Also got rid of the float. Bites are detected by watching the worm as it sinks (if water conditions permit) or watching the line floating on the surface…</p>
<p>Quick update on the mini wacky worm rig. The 'gills seemed to bite better while the worm slowly sinks, not as much when it was suspended under the float. So, I modified the hook by adding a little lead wire (0.010" dia) to help the worm break thru the water surface tension, for a little faster drop and for a bit more casting distance . Also got rid of the float. Bites are detected by watching the worm as it sinks (if water conditions permit) or watching the line floating on the surface for a twitch as it slowly gets pulled under. The spot that this rig works best is under overhanging trees, but sometimes it produces in open water too. This past August, this was the only way I could consistently get good numbers of bluegills and redbreasts.</p>

<p>I got a couple of small Trout Magnets as much for the 1/64 dart jig heads as anything else, but the "anything else" is a couple of very small split tail worms. They might make good micro wacky worms.</p>

<p>Thank you for sharing Steve. I can see how this would work. I remember so many days I pulled out the old plow jockey when nothing else would work there is something about that worm shape that turns fish on at times.</p>

<p>Looks like what I use for micro fishing , just on a larger scale. Can I suggest you add a B or BB shot on the line at the bottom of the float. This may give you the balance to stand the float up and will give some additional distance. </p>
