I was reading In-Fishermen and an article claimed if you use 65# braid with a short leader, a senko is almost neutrally buoyant and almost doesn't sink at all. The effect is a super slow fall that yields even more bights . Does anybody have any experience with this setup? By the way, I did sift through all the Senko post so I think I'm clear of retribution. I just learned that word

try it, thats all i have to say since i dont fish Senkos.

I know they sink very slowly on 8lb nanofil with a 4/0 hook so 65lb braid probably does just about float them.

I throw mine weightless on 6-8lbs yo zuri and they sink SLOOOOW.

They sink way slow on braid. If your trying to get down more then a few feet grab a book.

sssshhhhhhhhh!!!! Dont tell anyone.... Please, im begging

Slow is relevant. Senkos fall faster than all but maybe some hand poured salt laden stick baits. Dingers, Ochos, Tiki Sticks all fall slower than Senkos.

All last longer too but Senkos have the best wiggle IMO.

Sinking or fall rates are controlled by many varables. Its controling bouyancy to get the rate the fish wants not the angler. The slower fall rate might not trigger the reaction strike that a flick -shake senko might cause. so always let the fish tell you how "THEY" want the bait presented.Braid-hook size and weight--- along with-lead weights inserted into the baits-line diameter and composition all affect the baits sink rates -tweeking these will help you determine how the fish want the bait presented-
