90% of the time weightless wacky rig. 10% texas rig. For drop shot I prefer a finesse worm

I fish the 6" Senko's the same as "BigG"....BigG wrote:Mostly weightless Texas rigged over grass and let it drop in the holes.
Re: 6" Senkos - How do you fish yours ?
if you're not punching or otherwise fishing the Senko in really heavy cover, it's easily handled with medium or medium heavy powered rods. I very rarely fish a Senko with any weight, and I don't like to fish it on heavy line, rarely using anything heavier than 12# fluoro. If you're not using a heavy wire hook when you rig it weedless, there's no issue setting the hook with light line and a medium power rod.Jdmbassman wrote:Do you need more backbone in a Rod to fish 6" Senkos Texas Rigged over an 1/2oz jig. My thinking is the 6" Senko because you need to pull the hook through a chunk of plastic first. Let me know your preference

Weightless, 4/0 hook. Watermelon
Re: 6" Senkos - How do you fish yours ?
weightless, will have more time let the fish see it and bite.
Re: 6" Senkos - How do you fish yours ?
I usually don't have the patience to fish em weightless so I'll put at least a 1/16oz weight on it

Wacky!!! You get the most action out of a senko, no matter what size you use. Make sure that you use the o rings so you don't loose your bait when casting it. I Can't remember the last time that ive texas rigged a senko...

Works great in the heat of summer also. Painfully slow.timsford wrote:I like using the larger senkos in the winter and deadstick them on deep points and other structure. Sometimes it takes several minutes for a cast. Ive caught some really nice bass doing this

1/8 oz. tungsten not pegged works great for post spawners in the spring.

Weightless, nose-hooked.
Weightless: because they are sinking, you don't need a weight. A bullet weight just drags the worm into the bottom behind it.
Nose hooked: for more hookups. Texas rigging is evil

Weightless Gamakatsu 4/0 hook Texas rigged
Re: 6" Senkos - How do you fish yours ?
Rigged wacky weedless, sent skipping across the surface to intended targets then allowed to wiggle and jiggle on the fall. Once on the bottom it is dead sticked for up to 2 minuets depending on the activity level of the fish.
