senko worms: texas or wacky rigged

Featured Replies

Texas and wacky I just ask the fish what they want ;D ;D

That's a tough one.  I use texas rigged fishing ponds.  I wacky rig a smaller senko if i get a follower on a SB.

Both methods work well, but I love to fish the Senkos wacky style.

Just seems to attract more bites.

I use fish mostly T-rigged but ocassionally I will wacky rig one.  I just seem like I loose more worms and I don't tend to get the best hook sets with a wacky rig setup.

I'll t-rig it until it starts getting torn up.  Then I'll wacky rig it.

I like to fish them wacky but mainly because there is more resistance there when I pull on it.  But if I am tossing into cover, I Texas rig it.  I wacky rig with the "weedless" wide gap finesse hooks but the weed guard just keeps some grass off, but that's about it.

Use both. Started off the year wacky riggin them. But then as the weeds started to claim the surface I went to a t-rig and dragged them across into the pockets.

Don't really have a preference. But my biggest senko fish did come off of them being wacky rigged if that matters.

For me I get my hits with it being wacky rigged then T-rigged but I also get more misses when trying to hook a fish when Its Wacky rigged. Also I can move it a little better T-rigged then wacky IMO.

So I would have to go with T-Rigged

(I accidently voted for Wacky Rig on the poll though)

depends on weeds  if there are weeds or grass i use texas  but if it is open water or a river i usally use it hooked straight on a jighead    i dont do good fishn wacky

wow great poll.

i had to really think on this one.

i voted weightless texas. i ususally fish them weightless, but when the fishins tough i will always switch to a wacky and ususally can squeeze out a few fish. but a majority of the time i fish it t-rig weightless. i can fish cover more effectivley w/ t-rig and i like the swayback gliding action when you right em weightless.

Texas rigged, I only rig wacky every once in awhile.

Wacky.  I'm convinced they like it better when it falls vertically instead of in a zig zag and with BOTH ends quivering.

Never been a big fan of the senko worm but when I do use them 99% of the time its wacky.

I'll t-rig it until it starts getting torn up. Then I'll wacky rig it.

I like your way of thinking!!!!

so far its close, but seems like most people start with the texas rig and then move on to wacky

thanks

Wacky.  I'm convinced they like it better when it falls vertically instead of in a zig zag and with BOTH ends quivering.

Indeed...95% of my bites come from wacky as apposed to T-rig.Strange thing.This is coming from somebody who doesn't like fishing worm type lures.They do have their place in the water though.

Because I had to pick one I said Wacky. I do fish it T-rigged alot also. I find the X vs Y questions are fun but really don't solve much. Like most things in life 1% is black, 1% white and 98% grey. I wacky rig if I want a slower fall and not in heavy cover. T-rig when I need it to be more weedless.

I t-rig 99% of the time because I need a weedless presentation.

...but really don't solve much.

you said it yourself...its just fun.

This is just a fun poll and its only purpose really is just to see how other peoples fishing styles differ  :D

Wacky. I'm convinced they like it better when it falls vertically instead of in a zig zag and with BOTH ends quivering.

I asked LBH what his secret was to catching all those bass you see in his videos. Mainly, how he fished his *** ***. His response was:

"wacky, all day, everyday" ;D

I tend to agree with him on the "quivering ends" therory. There is something about a wacky rig that gits hit more often than a t-rig senko. ONLY weightless rigs here. Put on on a shakey head and you've got a different animal altogether. That's my other favorite rig for a senko type bait.
