Wacky rigged Senkos!!

Hmm. Snapping turtles, mud turtles, bags, shoes, and so on. Would love to catch some cash! But I suppose that Irish Fist was used for something other than a pot o' gold....

I kept a bass or two when I was a kid. My Mom fried 'em up for me. Don't think I've kept one since then. Prefer to CPR 'em. Crappie. Eaten a few, but pretty much throw everything back in fresh water. Salt? Still CPR, but if I were out with some buddies, we'd probably keep some of the good-tasting fare of the sea.

Welcome!

Welcome, Norgge! Lived in the DFW area late 80's, early 90's.

I saw some pix of the new vette last month. It is a frikkin' beast.

Def the real deal. I snell every worm hook every time. If there's no shank, I'll palomar it. I've snelled my wacky hooks down to size 4. So EWGs, straight shanks, short shanks, I snell 'em. If I'm tying direct braid, I'll do several more wraps around the shank.

Largie would be a 7.5 pounder, but about 20 odd years ago I was treated to a deep sea fishing trip where we caught a mess of 4" King Mackerels, among other species. My sister caught a citation false albacore. I don't remember the weight of the King Macs, but they're the longest, and probably heaviest fish I've caught.

Senko probably. Because they "just work", they're the Mac lure of the fishing world!

Is it liquid now? As in dip your bait, or more like a paste you have to apply?

Absolutely yes! Agree with you. I use "old" mono I have laying around. I'll wrap sometimes only approx 10 yards of mono before braid mainline. Sometimes I've done around 1/4 of the spool. Rarely more than that.

Glad I don't live in OH. Actually, my wife is glad. LOL

That looks really good, man! Like it!

Count me in the braid numbers. Although I'm known to spool copoly on a bc now and again. But I just spooled my Lexa 100 with 20lb PP. Can't wait to get 'er on the water.

Great stuff, Fish. Thanks for sharing.

Based on reviews at Bass Pro, the 5" Senko is more popular. That said, personally, I use the 4" Senko more. I use both, just more with the shorter worm. I'd stick to "standard" colors and variants thereof, watermelon, green pumpkin. By variant, I'm talking a chartreuse tip, or the "magic" mix, perhaps different flake colors, etc.

Welcome to the site, PaJay!

Definitely spray some KVD line conditioner on it. Will help a lot.

Welcome! I think we all poked around, or lurked, before signing up. You'll get so much info. And let us know when you get your yak! Plenty of yak fishermen here.

Hey Gordy, welcome to the forums!

LOL. Amazing

LOL, that's so true.

You know, I actually have seen this done. I guess it seemed like more work. My assumption would be though, that the black or clear shrink wrap would actually hold up better. Have you found this to be true, or are both about the same?

Hello and welcome, Jim!

Stocked, restocked, and reloaded!
