I rig mine on a falcon lures 1/32 oz hook (size varies between 3/0, 4/0 and 5/0....mostly 3/0). The weight is on the shank which sort of helps keeps the fall horizontal...

I have lost count on how many 5lb + fish I have caught on Senkos, of all sizes 3",4",5", and 6". Both weighted and weightless texas rigged, and weighted and weightless wacky rigged. I have caught 4 fish over 6lbs on them as well. Time and place............time and place.

Several over 5-wacky rigged Stick-os (5 3/8" and 6") mostly. Nothing over 6...yet! Color doesn't matter as much to the fish as it does to me. BPS Crawberry is my #1 color.

what size senko are you using? this is a quote from RW on a senko thread. it helped me take the leap to bigger senkos b/c i like trophy hunting (stout/thick 6" worms like/or similar to original yamamoto's).

"I don't fish 5" Senkos anymore because I think they catch too many small bass. Now, that may sound silly, but I'm a recreational fisherman and I target big bass only. The 6" Senko has moved my bass fishing to another level."

in my head (always a dangerous place) i think of larger fat/heavy senkos sinking faster and once on the bottom they are in big bass territory. smaller/aggressive bass will burn energy and surface quickly to intercept a slow sinking senko. they don't get that chance with large ones and are too scared to go near the bottom 'dinner plate' of a big bass. you get less bites but bigger ones.

6.0 lb smallmouth. 4" Slim Senko, color 297, wacky rigged

Lots in the 5-6lb range but nothing really spectacular. One of my biggest this year was 5 1/2 on a 7" GP BPS stick O T-rigged with a 1/4oz bullet weight pitched into a brushpile.

A lot in the 5 lb range but nothing over that for me yet.

Two over 5 pounds, my biggest bass on any lures are three 6 pounders. Lots of 3 - 4 pound fish too. They catch smaller fish on average than jigs or big plastics, but they do catch some nice fish,

I've been catching a lot between 3-5lbs with a 5" dinger and paddletail worm rigged texas style. Have yet to catch one over 6lbs though.

my PB came on a yum dinger, close to 7 pounds (scale had about a + or - 1/4 lb tolerance)

6.5# on green pumkin senko. pretty good fish for Idaho

Are all these wacky rigged, or texas rigged?

What is the most popular way to rig these. I've never had much luck either way. Probably not giving them a fair chance.

Texposed, weightless. I also fish them wacky style with a weedless hook when I want something a little less subtle.

I caught a Spotted Bass this weekend that went over 3#, I was very happy with that. I only Wacky Style my Senko's and I only fish 5" Watermelon Red Flake. I think I will purchase some Green Pumpkin Black flake in the 6" and Texas Rig them weightless and give that a go.

I would love to catch some in the 5+ Range, Just to feel the fight!

This is great participation, 3 Pages!!!

about 7lbs on a hand injected one I made.

Just over 5# for me now swimming senkos is another story I love swimming senkos caught two over 9# on watermelon pepper

In early may of this year i caught a 24"bass on a 4"wacky rigged yum dinger out at the strip pit club i belong to in illinois.I had just picked up my fishing kayak that day(first time in one) and i was nervous about bringing a lot of gear in case it would flip so i brought minimal gear with me,all i had was the bag of yum dingers,hooks,tape measure,and my 7ft st croix lite eyecon,The biggest fish of my life and i left the camera in the truck back on shore.
