Texas rig no bullet weight, is far superior for me too than they wacky worm. It also is purely based on situation. Am i covering ground to fish, or am i sitting fishing? Texas for moving, whacky for sittin. Biggest difference is hook up. That hook in the middle of the worm is way better than at the top.

Hot Tip: Don't bother with the weedless hooks if you already have the wacky rig tool. Just pop two rubber rings on the worm, criss-cross the rings over each other to form an X and hook the worm through the X perpendicular to the worm. Having two rings allows you to hook the worm in the proper fashion 🤙🏽

@@tkitchens91 If you define good as cheap, easy to use, and catches fish, then it is a good rig. No rig is perfect, but my tackle box for this rig is a small plastic box with spare worms, o-rings, and hooks that fits in my pocket. If you are covering a lot of shoreline, not carrying a large tackle box is an advantage. I do have days where the wacky rig produces nothing, but that is true for all lures.
