I am looking to buy a rod for wacky worming but uncertain on what to look for, can anyone give me some suggestions? Probably will use a spinning reel.

I prefer an medium action w/fast tip. I use a 6'6 Lamiglas Competitor Series 663, Its at OE for I think $65. Also, another good rod for it it the Certified Pro 703 which I use for deeper, open water wacky wormin, its at OE for $130

Any Medium Action w/ FAST Tip will do you fine.

I personally am using a SJR-782 GL2 and love it.  I think I've caught more fish on this rod than the law allows.  My girl just caught a 6lber on it today matter fact, keep your eye out for my fishing report  Wink
I use this rod for skipping senko's mostly, I usually texas rig but I will be doing more wacky rigging with it.

I have two that I use.  I have a 7 1/2 ft Quantum spinning in med / heavy action.  I use this at Potholes and the like to throw and skip whacky rigs into HEAVY cover.  Need the big heavy rod to move the fish once it is hooked.  The other is a standard 6'6" Rogue  medium action spinning.  Most of the guys seem to use medium to medium heavy depending on how you are going to fish the wacky rig.

I have two I also like to use. One is the heavy dropshot rod by lamiglas that I use for the smaller worms like Robo worms and the longer Sniper lures. The other is the 703 bait casting rod by lamiglas that I use for the bigger worms like Senkos and weighted worms like the Trutungsten worm. Just me though. Different strokes for different folks.
