Swiming A Senko

[CDMeyer]

This past weekend the bite was tough, extremely tough after a cold front.  I tried a search bait (Spinner) and could not get bite, so then I tried a swim jig and nothing there as well..... but the I went with a Senko and my dad was doing the trolling motor and was moving to fast to fish the Senko slowly so I started swimming it with a twitching action slowly jerking it and got bite and caught a descent bass.  Has anyone ever swam a Senko before

You can fish a Senko any way you want to. And the answer to your question is yes. I swam a Senko during the pre spawn this year.

The swim senko is a great producer, works just as well as a swim jig trailer.

Try doing this technique with a grande bass rattlesnake. It has a much more lively tail and moves water better. Thank me later

Yes ... When I want to cover more water I have treated a senko as a jerkbait and caught a ton of bass that way.  Especially great in the shallows through weeds, lily pads etc.

 

I always thought there should be a stick which had a fluke tail.  Zoom finally did it last year with their fluke stick.

I tried fishing it like a lipless crank bait once, just reeling it in and letting it fall. Didn't get a bite, but I also didn't give it much of a chance.

fished the same front as you up in wisconsin. Always tie on a shakey head post frontal, thats how we caught all of our fish. T

Hmm, a fluke stick.... COME ON!!! I'm just getting familiar with the whacky rig. I SHALT NOT GET TEMPTED BY THINE YE BAIT MONKEY!

I have a cousin who isn't very big into fishing, and is also a little hard headed. He'll fish with me from time to time, and no matter how many times I try and teach him something, he just wont listen. Last summer I finally turned him on to senkos, and every single time he threw one, he would just swim it back. Iv actually seen him catch fish this way. I used to think it was the damnedest thing, but apparently he's not the only one.

fluke stick? swim senko!

 

Take a tail off a beat up swimbait and put that on a senko

I use mine as soft jerk baits probably 95% of the time and catch a lot of fish.  I also read an article by Alton Jones that says he would swim them with a more steady retrieve during the spawn when the conditions didn't warrant sight fishing.  Once he had a hit and didn't hook up, he knew a nest was there and would fish the area with other baits or the yum dinger more slowly to entice  strike
