Does anyone know offhand what type of hooks KVD was using on his senkos when he won the tournament on Cuyuga Lk in New York this summer? Otherwise I will have to re watch that episode.

It had either a centering pin or corkscrew on the eyelet.

Mustad power lock plus, it has a keeper spike.

KVD throws senkos?? I bet that was painful for him. You do what you've gotta do right

Senkos will kill on Cayuga when fish are just off the deep weed edge.  It takes a while for them to get to that 10-12' depth, but bass bite them, and the northern will mostly ignore them.  I'm not surprised that KVD got in on the intel.  Pete Gluzik won there a few years ago using a senko.  The fish in my avatar pic are from Cayuga.  Fun, tough lake.

I just watched the episode on YouTube the other day. He had a weight with the senko. I want to say it was a sliding weight and not a pegged weight.

Gluzik used a 1/16 oz. pegged weight.  If cast with a low trajectory, almost skipping, the bait does loopty-loops on entry.

And that's loopty loops not circles ! I have my notebook out.

He used a Mustad Grip Pin 3/0. 

Crazy to see stuff about Cayuga on here. I grew up swimming in it every summer, and my grandfather fished it every weekend he could until he passed away. Sounds like I need to make a trip back up to my old stomping grounds and wet a line.
