Preferred Wacky Rig Setup? NRX/Megabass

[clemsondds]

What's your preferred weightless senko setup? Are you throwing on casting or spinning setup? I have always used an NRX Spinning setup...but thinking about switching to casting. Thoughts?

[TravisNY]

I use four versions of Senkos (smallmouth). 3” Slim, 3” Fat. 3” Ned and 4”. Spin(s) for me. I won’t go too far into the weeds as you’re likely referring to 5”.

Yes, I was referring to the traditional 5” but whatever. What rod is your favorite for 5”?

If I’m around cover, I like NRX 893. For open water, I like Steez 7’6” MML, blue version.

I use the Daiwa 7'6" MML Steez spinner. I am thinking of trying the new Epitome with an Aldebaron for this duty along with Neko rigs. I generally use the same weedless hook on a rod and switch between wacky and neko depending on grass/cover.

Old steez skyray 6'8" ml casting rod. I'll throw up to a 5" senko and down to a 1/16 oz flick shake and skinny non salt impregnated 4.8 inch worm. Mostly skipping and casting to docks.

Nice! Anyone use a nrx 842c mbr?

NRX 852c

I don't have any NRX or Megabass rods, but if I'm throwing a wacky rigged 5" Senko, then it's gotta be on a M spinning rod. If I'm Texas rigging a 5" Senko, then I'm for sure using a MH casting rod.

When rigged wacky I don't really throw it into the thicker stuff--just around riprap or outside tule edges. Texas rigged on 15# test it's going into weeds, docks, trees, etc.

NRX 852c

Thanks. What made you choose 852 over others (eg842 ha)

X-bites

LOL no joke, I took a finesse jig off my x-bites last night and rigged up a weightless senko to give it a try. Then I saw your comment so good timing. I also rigged up my NRX 803 spinning wacky as well...to compare the two.

NRX 802s, 803s, or 804s xmr, depending on how thick the cover is.

I'll use spinning when I use a trick worm wacky rigged, but I've found I just flat out enjoy using my x-bites rod for all weightless plastic presentations when using a little bit heavier plastic w/good salt amount. So which one did you end up preferring?

Casting 893c.

Normally doing long cast with ikas and senko and the extra length helps with those long cast hook set.
