Here is a link to the Case O-rings (below).  $1.50 for a 25 pack....$0.06 each and you can pick black or red.  One O-ring can save a guy an entire $4 bag of platics.  Worth every penny!  I have used these o-rings on quite a variety of senko baits and haven't run into a "size" problems yet.  There are some big bulky plastics up at Gander...forget the name....and they don't fit into the wacky tool very well.  They fit just enough to get the o-ring started on the bait and with a little effort a guy can get them on.  Never had an o-ring cut this bait in half but they are a very solid baits too.

Keep the tips coming! Last year was my first year using plastics, so any info helps!
 
Can you pre-rig the o-rings on your worms? I'm thinking this would save time in the boat.

You can pre-rig as many as you want.  I bet I still have o-rings on some of my Big Magic Stiks from last year....still in the bag.  I don't pre-rig them but I will just toss them back in the bag at the end of the day or when I switch up colors.

Al.....I was thinking about this a bit more....I have had the o-ring pull off some of the senko baits when pan fish bite on.  Not very many but it does happen.  The ones I had trouble with are the 3X ones....Strike King I think...that they sell at WalMart?  They are very stretchy and hold up well but also pull out of the o-rings easier.  I don't think I have ever had a Magic Stik or the Black Magic (Gander) brand pull out of the o-ring though.

You don't have to limit this to senko type baits either.  If you can fit the bait into your wacky tool then you can "wacky" rig it!

I've even wacky rigged live bait, but not with an o-ring.  I think the Strike King senkos are dipped in oil and scents, making it slip easier.  But the scents also eliminate the scent from people's hands.  I know some fish are just not as attracted to some anglers, and vice versa..  Al loves Bass, but has a secret thing for crappies..  The secret is out Twitch "Crappie Lover".  Oh soooo sorry..  He loves the mighty "Gravel Lizards" first for their fight and difficulty to find and catch.
