Is this the correct order to fish them? I use those two as examples because that's all I've been using for the last 8 weeks (just getting into this Bass thing and wanted to learn the senko first). I carry two setups, one senko rigged weightless (Texposed) and the other has had either a spinnerbait or a chatterbait. I work an area with the senko and then follow up with the other before moving on. I have been catching fish on both baits but wanted to hear opinions. Recomendations on other or sharing of your combinations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It would generally be the other way around, the spinnerbait/ chatterbait is considered a search bait, you can cover water and look for active fish, once you find them slow down in the area with the senko and work it a little more thoroughly, you might also want to add jigs and larger texas rigged plastics like beavers and such, they generally draw bigger bites than a senko type bait (for me anyway)

I generally fish it like River Rat316 mentions, but if you're catching fish the other way, then keep going until the fish say change it up.

The general rule of thumb is to fish like river rat316 stated,But I'm not a big believer in that.Why? Because fish won't always chase after something moving.There are times I can cast a senko type worm where I just casted a spinnerbait and get a bite,where as I'm not any bites on a moving bait. Then there are days where nothing but moving baits are getting bites and nothing else.

I have also thrown spinnerbaits in the area first and felt like I just spooked any fish into biting a finesse bait.

Do what works that day.Find what pattern is working and go from there.

I would start with a faster-moving horizontal bait. If the fish are active you'll catch more. If you start with a soft plastic and do well, you'll be reluctant to change and may catch fewer fish because of the slow-moving bait.

No need to follow a Senko with anything. They'll catch all the fish, all the time.

Don't they?

The best follow up bait for a senko is a second cast.

Something that has always worked for me. If you get a swirl on a spinnerbait, wakebait, or topwater throw right back in the swirl with a senko or fluke. 9 times out of 10 the fish will circle back around and rip the rod out of your hand.
