A 5" senko (the GY one) weighs around 3/8 oz. You can very easily fish that weightless. More important is the action/taper of your rod. A medium or medium fast tip probably won't help much.

i have a 4 inch. you think thats atleast 1/4?

You'll toss a few rolls of quarters into the lake if you wacky rig with a baitcaster, unless you use o-rings or something similar.  No problem on a weedless worm hook with a medium/fast rated rod.
