BassAddict'18 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Hey all. I was wondering what everyone's preferred method of fishing a yum dinger/senko/stick bait was. When do you most often use them and where? How do you like to rig it and fish it? Thank you! Quote
Joedodge Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Anywhere anytime. Huge confidence bait and easy to make into a confidence bait. I weightless texas rig it, or wacky.i literally fish them every time out anywhere 2 Quote
ThatFishin'Guy Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Anytime! Usually if I'm not catching anything, I'll get something on a stick bait. I used to t rig them but now I mainly wacky rig them, I find you get a much better action on the fall. Both ways catch loads of fish tho, that's just my preference. 1 Quote
PersicoTrotaVA Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Anytime, any place. I like to wacky rig and flick shake them. It's my go to technique, sissy stick or not, it catches fish for me and they are not small. I caught a 7.5lber last week doing the wacky dance. 1 Quote
MichiganBass80 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I'm pretty much like everyone else. I primarily wacky rig them, soI'll use a Senko just about anywhere under 8-10 feet. We got one lake around here where you can take this canal back to a pond. Talk about a confidence booster for senkos/stick baits. You can throw just about anything out there,crank baits, dropshot, or anything else you can think of and maybe catch a few fish. Throw a wacky rig Senko and you won't stop catching them. 1 Quote
Mccallister25 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I don't fish senkos now as much as I used to. Normally when I do I t-rig them. Almost never wacky. I fish banks exclusively. Will a wacky senko produce shallow? Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 29, 2015 Super User Posted March 29, 2015 I fish banks exclusively. Will a wacky senko produce shallow? Absolutely! My favorite method of using a wacky Rigged senko or trick worm this time of year. Quote
Mccallister25 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Absolutely! My favorite method of using a wacky Rigged senko or trick worm this time of year. Do you use the "wacky" hooks? I saw some at Gander Mountain the other day. Are they any good? Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 29, 2015 Super User Posted March 29, 2015 Do you use the "wacky" hooks? I saw some at Gander Mountain the other day. Are they any good? There are many choices, my favorite are Owner Mosquito in 1/0 to 3/0 I also like the ssw which is Just the owner hook w the cutting point.. Quote

Lol I just looked at a bunch of options on TW. The ones I saw at the store were the weedless Gamakatsu hooks. What size is best, or are they mainly one size? Quote

What size is best, or are they mainly one size? There are many, many sizes. If those are the Gammys w nylon weed guard, I didn't care for those. I have never broke a owner mosquito, never bent one either.. For me, the best is owner. But I would encourage you to try a hook you like, A brand you trust and go from there.. Quote
Super User Catt Posted March 29, 2015 Super User Posted March 29, 2015 Any time the water is wet 1 Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I use when fish are shallow. Wacky rigged with o-ring and weedless hook. I almost always use a skip cast with spinning rod and straight 20# PP braid. Up under docks, overhanging trees/bushes, etc 1 Quote

bassguytom Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I usually wacky rig them but when there are weeds around and I want to go into them I will t-rig and texpose the hook. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 30, 2015 Super User Posted March 30, 2015 Softies all the time. Incredible, productive. Love 'em Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted March 30, 2015 Super User Posted March 30, 2015 Absolutely KILLER on shallow pond bass!! Use them, they flat out work! Quote
BassAddict'18 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks for all the input guys! Lots of great advice so far. I appreciate it, I will definitely be using them more often. My preferred method of fishing for big largemouth is usually a Zoom trick worm on a spot remover 1/4 ounce shaky head, but I am just now getting into Senkos more because of all of the hype they have been getting.
