was using a yamamoto swimmin senko smeared with megastrike attractant today and went thru almost a whole bag as the fish bit the tails off of them. anyone else have this happen?

Bluegill and Crappie have been known to peck at the tails of worms...

I know the bluegill love to peck, but this was bass and pickerel. does the megastrike work that good? everything was chasing the senkos!!

Often times people dismiss short strikes as pan fish. Sometimes bass just strike short. I had a day this year where I was throwing a 6in BBZ-1 Jr and I was getting short strikes about half the time. I know they were bass because I saw it happen half a dozen times or so right at the boat. I have also had this happen fishing a texas rigged worm. Added a stinger hook and caught fish. I think it was in the BBZ book where Bill told a story about having the tails ripped off his worms. The worms had a chartreuse tail. He rigged the worm backwards and caught fish. They were keyed in on the Chartreuse tail. Sometimes minor adjustments and a little creativity are the answer. Its not always pan fish on the other end.

swimmin senkos are very delicate i agree. they could make the plastic more dense right where the joint is, but that might hinder the action. I set the hook like i'm fishing a plastic worm when i'm throwin swimmin senkos, give em a sec, give em some line so they don't feel you then set it hard on taut line.
