Rig catalog

An integrated weight and hook threaded with a softbait, a direct way to learn depth control.

A bullet weight and offset hook with a protected point to reduce fouling.

A forward weight and a swivel-linked leader separate bottom contact from the softbait.

A hook above a weight holds a softbait in a small area above bottom.

A mid-body hook lets both ends of a worm move on the fall and shake.

A small mushroom head and short plastic for a compact presentation; standing up requires suitable buoyancy.

Line slides through an eyed weight before the hook, allowing separation during the fall.

No weight at all, just a soft plastic on a hook (usually a dense stick worm or soft jerkbait). It sinks slowly and naturally under its own weight. In wacky rigging, the hook goes through the middle of the worm so both ends quiver as it sinks.

A nail weight is inserted into the head of a stick worm, and the hook goes through the worm wacky-style, a little toward the head. The worm “stands” head-down on the bottom, and its tail wags when you shake it.
