Fishing Guys: What is this Tool?

[exmaxima1]

I bought a used fishing bag and this tool was attached to the outside with a coiled tether. It is a hollow aluminum tube, tapered at one end, and threaded on the the small end. There is a stack of rubber O-rings included on the attachment screw. Any idea what this is used for?

A version of a marlin spike ?

 

[Raineman]

Its a tool used to put o-rings on what they call a "wacky style" worm to a hook. The o-ring holds the worm to the hook instead of sliding the hook through the worm and point end back out.

Robot or human?

Bingo, that's it! My thingy is exactly as shown in the attachment: same tool, coiled cord, clip, etc. Thanks for the help.

I'm not a fan of gadgets but damn the Wacky Weedless Worm catches some bass.

I got a three pack of wacky riggers and o-rings last December and gave two to my cousin and his son. His son says it's amazing. I was going to try mine out last Thursday. Rolled my kayak before I had the chance...

Now I'm a complete disaster in. 14 ft Deep Wide Jon Boat.

I always thought you were kind of sealed into a kayak. Do they pull a little floaty or something for fishing accessories?

 

[Showkey]

Fishing kayaks are usually open cockpit. Still can be sit on or sit in versions…….but…….open like a canoe. Some are stable enough to stand up while fishing.

The real question is, why does one fish out of a kayak??

I got all excited thinking we were looking at fishing tools. But wrong fishing tool.

Guess going fishing means something different for everyone. Since it is a tool forum I will say that I think the mills taper taps are the best, super sharp threads and nice knurling to grab onto with a wrench. When I tell folks I get paid to go fishing on the weekends they always seem to have a different idea than what I do.
