Syfer420 Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 how do you guys prefer to fish senkos and senko knockoffs? do you like it weightless? or maybe a little split shot? explain your answer Quote
Lightninrod Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I rarely fish a Senko with any weight. It's natural motion is at its best when it falls through the water with just the weight of its hook. I use a 4/0 GY Sugoi hook with my 5" Senkos(and a lot of other soft-plastic baits). T-rigged Senkos can catch Bass but IMO, there are better baits(the Swimming Senko for one) to be used on a T-rig. The original Senko just doesn't have much action down on the water's bottom IMO. Dan Quote

Guest ncbass24 Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Weightless for me. The bait has better action without a weight, IMO. If you must use a weight, use the a small split shot for the best results. Quote
Guest the_muddy_man Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Most of the time 5 inch, weightless t rig, sometimes weightless wacky rigged 4 inch Quote
fishing man Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 most of the time i use a senko weightless. all i do is throw it out into weeds, let it sink all the way down (by then i have a bite) then i just hop the lure back. Quote
blackrose55x Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I always fish a senko weightless because from what i have heard there is no other way. Apparently the slightest weight can alter the movement. Although i have heard something about putting a piece of a nail in the tail of it for added weight, but you would have to ask someone else about that... Quote
zbigbadaaron Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 weightless 6 inch senko knockoff t rigged or wacky Quote
bassn4life Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 weightless trick stick t-rigged works amazing for me. produces a lot of bass and big ones too! Quote
J_Young Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I always throw them weightless, t-rigged 5" Senko with a 4/0 hook and have always pulled a lot of bass in with them. 8 times out of 10 when i cast out, they hit it hard on the fall. IMO adding weight to a Senko completely kills the action Quote
largemouthbass Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 weightless for me. i catch more fish on weightless Quote

Throw it weightless and T-rigged depending on where you think the Bass are located. Dan Quote
