What is a recommended strategy while using the Wacky Rig?

Using small twitches in the retrieve when employing the Wacky Rig is a highly effective strategy. This technique creates a subtle movement that mimics the natural action of a struggling worm, which can provoke a fish's instinct to bite. The Wacky Rig is designed to allow the bait to flutter and move erratically as it sinks, and adding twitches enhances this effect, making it more enticing for bass and other freshwater species.

The other strategies mentioned do not align as effectively with the optimal use of the Wacky Rig. Allowing the bait to sink without movement may not take advantage of the unique design and action of the rig, whereas over-fishing can lead to spooking fish rather than enticing them. Additionally, using only heavy line does not provide the sensitivity or natural presentation that lighter lines can achieve, which are often more beneficial in detecting bites and achieving a natural bait presentation.
