mason05 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Heading out bassin' tomorrow and would like to try using some Senkos. With this said I have only used these a few times with poor results. Looking for a tip or two on how to present and work these plastics best for bucketmouths. Thanks, Corn Nug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyboss Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Senkos are best worked very slowly especially if you rig them wacky style. Hooked right in the middle. I always fish them too fast. Last time I was out for smallies and fishing senkos I wasbn't getting any hits. Then my buddy had problems with his eletric motor so I put my rod down and strated giving him a hand to try to fix it. Well by the time we finished looking at the electric I had been interrupted by 3 smallies. So cast it out and let sink and wait and then wait again .

singingdog Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yep, slow is the key with senkos. Let it fall, let it sit, lift it a little, let it fall, let it sit.....One presentation that gets overlooked with senkos/stick baits is jig-worming. On a light jighead, they have a faster spiral fall somewhere between a tube and a worm: great presentation when the fish are a bit deeper, or holding in weeds.

Guest skeeter99 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) do nothing, absolutley nothing LOL deadstick.......deadstick.......deadstick.....light a smoke....take bite of sandwich......move a inch or two......deadstick......deadstick.....etc absolutley deadly, kinda like thinking feed the fish rather than making him strike like throwing out a minnow on a float waiting except u are throwing a senko moving ever so slow to get a strike ****almost forgot always insert a glass rattle in the senko (smaller ones are better) it will out fish a non rattle senko about 3 to 1*** Edited September 23, 2007 by skeeter99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) Yep...no matter if you texas-rig or wacky-worm 'em...the best way is to cast out...set your rod down...and try to do sumpin' like eat a g'weech...or have a drink...etc. They are a do-nothing lure from my experiences... Hmmm...a senko/wizzle worm under a float...I wonder...might be worth a try...I know it works with tubes...

OhioFisherman Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 You can drop shot them too, hooked thru the nose, a twitch bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I bought some last year at Lambeth and Steve told me the toughest part about fishing senko's was leaving it alone. I don't bass fish as often as I would like but I hope to put them to use more often this fall. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skeeter99 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) hey slowpoke you dont use senko's for pike and muskie fishing? they work great for pike and have caught lots of muskie on them!!!! 6 inch sweet potato pie colour will get them everytime even the odd walleye LOL!! I prefer tiki and bamboo sticks from wave worms they fall slower than senko Edited September 23, 2007 by skeeter99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
