I always steared away from super soft baits due to the durability and the high costs. I always relied on the cheaper stuff and let me be honest... I dont like em that much and they dont seem to catch fish consistently

So one day i ran out of EWG hooks and i decided to use the VMC weightless Swimbait hooks on my last Senko.  

To my suprise the senko lasted pretty long like 5 fish. So i decided too try it on other weightless baits and wow They sure last longer for me.

The screwlock keeper seems to prevent the Nose of the bait from Ripping which is the most vunerable part in Soft Lures

So looks like im going for Quality instead of quality and not sure if my Hypothesis is true or not :I

You can add an Owner CPS to most hooks.

I've been using the Owner Twist lock light hooks for a few years now for fishing soft plastic jerkbaits. They were designed to be used with the Senko but work with a lot of different baits and don't let the "light" in the name fool you, these are forged hooks and will not bend out easily. What is nice is the screw lock does make a soft bait last longer, having a worm hook pulled through the head multiple times makes for a short life with any good soft plastic bait.

What size are you using for senkos? 1/8?

You can also stick with your favorite EWG or worm hook and add a parasite clip:

A bic lighter and/or some mend it is also handy to have.

Mend it will save you a lot of money.

parasite clips work amazing for hooks w/o a corkscrew.  barrel swivels work just as good, are cheaper and readily available.

 

and don't forget the biggest game changer: switch all ur soft plastics to Z-man elaztech.

What does softness got to do with quality ? 

Owner CPS Clips and Mendit.

The barrel swivel trick works great .

can you explain this for me scale?

also i read an article about using a wacky rig o-ring for the same thing just put it around the nose of the bait and it should stay together on top of the hook

Thread one end of a barrel swivel on the line between the weight and the hook . Start a texas rig by running the hook through the lure and back out . Now before burying the hook back in the bait run the point through the other end of the barrel swivel then finish the Texas rig . This will lock the lure into place , it will not slide down the hook and the bait will last longer .
