which are the Mo-Jo & Wacky rig,put into one. 1. The “Mo-Jo” rig (or also known by some anglers as the “Mo-Jo Magic” rig) which is rigged by either using a 1 to 2 foot leader with a swivel, hook, and a light weight. This rig can be also rigged without a swivel, using a pegged weight to allow it to slide up and down for what ever leader size you wish. First I will grab a 3/16th oz. slip weight and put it on my line (always put it on the line point first!); next, I will usually tie on a 1/0 or 2/0 worm hook to the end of my line. Next I will grab a tooth pick (or you can use a rubber peg made by some of the different companies, but a tooth pick is much cheaper!) and peg my weight. After this is done I will choose my bait to what I feel the bass would want under the many different conditions and environments that I will fish the rig. I found that some of these following baits are very effective on the Mo-Jo rig: (Yamamoto’s) Senkos, (Zoom) Centipedes (or also known as French Fries), (Yamamoto’s) Twin Tailed Hula Grubs, Lizards, Worms, and there are of course, many more. (Yamamoto’s Senkos are probably my favorite!) Now, to complete this rig I will choose one of these baits and Texas rig it on the hook, and then I will slide the “pegged” weight up the line to what ever leader size I wish. That’s it! We have just rigged a Mo-Jo rig (-: Now, cast it to where you think the fish are, let it slowly drop to the bottom, and periodically slowly lift the tip of your rod, and let it fall again and reel up the slack in your line. The slower you work this rig the better! If the wind starts to pick up when fishing this rig you can do one of two different things which are; use a heavier weight or face the boat into the wind and cast straight in front of the boat. These two changes will keep some of the slack (or bow) out of your line.
how effective is this on catching bass?
