bigbassin Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 ive been using gamakatsu offset 3/0 hooks and I was wondering if that was a good choice? What do you guys use? Quote
bassinjack Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 i fish mainley 5 inch senko's and depends on what fall rate i want the worm to drop is what size hook i use but it's mostly 3/0 and 4/0 ewg gamo hooks 99% of the time thats when im rigin it texas are c rigged if i wacky rig it i use circle hooks tight lines Jack 1 Quote
bigbassin Posted April 4, 2005 Author Posted April 4, 2005 do you have more succssess with the t-rig or whacky? Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted April 4, 2005 Super User Posted April 4, 2005 i t-rig on a gammy g-lock 3/0 worm hook. 1 Quote
Rebbasser Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 3/0 or 4/0 offset shank worm hook. For a bulkier bait I use an EWG hook.. I wacky rig on a 1/0 Tru-Turn hook. Quote
Brad_Coovert Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Weigtless on 3/0 or 4/0 EWG or Round Bend Gammy hooks. Wacky rigged with an Oring. I like the Reaction Innovations Wacky Hook and Owner Mosquito Hook. I also love to use a screw in weight and a straight shank 4/0 round bend Gammy. They fall like tubes rigged this way. ;D Brad Quote
OcBass63 Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I use a 3/0 hook but have found that a bleeding hook worked a lot better than a regular hook. 1 Quote
Matt Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I use a 4/0 Owner Rigging Hook (weightless). Try it you'll like it. Good Luck Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 5, 2005 Super User Posted April 5, 2005 I fish 6" Senkos and prefer the Gamakatsu #5/0 round bend. The shank runs parallel to the worm and is more "weedless" than the EWG. Quote
bassdocktor Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 A texas rig with a 4/0 mustad offset worm hook has done well for me around weed beds. bassdocktor Quote
skeeterman Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I use a 2/0 Eagle Claw normally whn i use a wide gap hook they tear the worm up nd it wont stay on. Quote
bass master Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Any 3/0 EWG on inch Senkos. If I start missing em on that then 4/0 Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted August 22, 2005 Super User Posted August 22, 2005 Boy this is an old post. Just an observation. Quote
AmBASSador Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 It is more about "hook set" and I used the Gamakatsu 3/0 with 5" senkos for quite a while. Now I use a 5/0 EWG with 5" senkos Try it!...You will hook more fish. Big EWG hooks with senkos, and even bigger with toads. Quote
lubina Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Daiichii Fat Gap ( red) 3/0 and 4/0 with the 4" and 5" respectively, with T-rig. Daiichii Wacky Hook ( red ) 2/0 with O-ring Quote
Magichat Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 this might sound stupid, but what is a wacky rig? 2 Quote
langs15 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Not stupid, well just a little.....hehe You hook it right in the middle of the worm and then to fish it....lift your pole every so often.. Quote
Troutfisher Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I highly recommend not using wide gap hooks for senkos. I personally have had a very low hook-up rate. Take one day I went out, I had 6 bass hit, and managed to hook up with four of those, and of those four, I caught one. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 6, 2006 Super User Posted December 6, 2006 I have been fishing Senkos since 1997 or 98 with 4/0 & 5/0 EWG hooks. When I get a bite, I rarely miss a fish. Quote
jomatty Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 although i rarely miss fish with the ewg hooks i have an even better hook up % with straight shank hooks. when i use an ewg hook i like the wide gap plus owner hooks. i like a heavy hook with senkos and think it gives them even more wiggle and shimmy. matt Quote
jb_from_texas Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 This is interesting. The hook brand selection on this thread is between just 2 or 3 brands. I have some Owners as well as Gammy's. I have a bunch of BPS 3/0 EWG hooks I've been using, and missing recently. What is everyone's opinion on these BPS hooks? Are the BPS hooks not near as good, even when brand new? Quote
krisjack69 Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 What is the best hook for a 4 inch senko. Since I don't think wal mart sells senko's so where can i buy senko's.I would buy them online but sure don't want to pay for shipping lol. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted January 24, 2007 Super User Posted January 24, 2007 5/0 Gammy EWG for 5" senko 3/0 same for 4" senko 5/0 Gammy EWG Superline hook for 6" Walmart sells the Kinami Flash. Same exact bait, in a different package. Quote
New 2 Bass Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 ... so where can i buy senko's.I would buy them online but sure don't want to pay for shipping lol. Try * they ship US mail for cheap. I like them. I know its a knock off but its an option. My PB was on their site. (Shameless, I know. I had to, its my only hawg : ) On topic. I switched from a 3/0 to a 4/0 Heavy on the 5" stick. I liked it. The wiggle was...more pronounced. Maybe. It could have been the beer or the heat. Regardless, It works. The 3/0 I save for flukes. The 4/0 Heavy makes them fall wierd. Wierd in a bad way.
