Well it is too early to tell but so far I'm not impressed. In all fairness I haven't used them a bunch. The Culprit worm I had on was still working great so I saw no immediate reason to switch. when I wore it out then I put on the Senko and zero bites so far.

I've got it rigged with a bullet weight because that is how I was already rigged. I will try them again and will try weightless eventualy but right now I'm leaning toward going bck to the cheapos. (?)

 I changed the tittle to better reflect what this is about.

I went to a different lake ( a tough bugger to catch fish at ) that has very clear water in general but with thick vegitaion to about 30yrds out from the bank. I had lost my orig rig so I took some advice and rigged weightless and did wachy style. 1st cast caught a bass lol. I had a couple of more hookups but had some trouble landing. I only had about an hour to work with.

 I targeted holes in the vegetation and just let it fall. All strikes were as soon as the bait hit the water so I'm not sure that it was really the senko or not. I will try it again with an off brand to see how it works.

 For us bank fishermen it opens up some opportunities and is a really fun way to fish. It also adds to the arsenal of choices.

 I'm going to try the same technique on deep water areas w/o thick vegetation.

Thanks for the tips I'll keep you posted.

Wacky rigging a senko is idiot proof. With the hook already exposed, it doesn't take much of a hook set, or even you realizing there's a fish on to catch one.

I don't use O-rings although i'm sure they'd save me money in the end.

I've only been fishing senkos for about 2 weeks, and I'm "hooked" to use a bad pun.

I just got back from midday fishing at a local river.  The water level was low, the weather was cloudy and windy, and I've never been able to catch any fish around this one particlar pience of structure that I knew held fish until today.

It's an old concrete wall from something (a dam maybe...) in the middle of the river.

Today I landed 8 smallies (lost a few more at the bank)a 2-2.5 lb carp and a a few big redfin shiners within 2 hours all on the same stretch of river I was lucky to get one fish on other baits.

I also fished it wacky and t-rigged.  Both worked well, but when my t-rig bite stopped, I switched over to wacky and the bite started like I had not even been fishing there.

Now I have to try *** and save some $$.
