What Line Do You Use With Senko's?

8lb sniper flouro on spinning rod

[lectricbassman]

I use 30lb power pro and a 10lb redline leader.

[Arv]

I like braid to a leader. The leader changes depending on the conditions.

Same.

 

For me on casting gear it's 20 or 30lb braid with 12,15,or 17lb fluoro leader. On spinning gear it's 10 or 20lb braid with 8,10 or 12lb fluoro leaders.

[FishTank]

Personal choice, non of the line options you gave....  I like 12lb FC with a 4/0 EWG hook.  If it is weightless, I like the way FC sinks.  It seems to be just the right speed on the fall.  Both braid and mono float.

15lb Hi Vis yellow power pro with 12 or 15lb Seagar red label as leader.

i just spooled up some shooter 20lb ( usually run braid) verdicts still out on this vs the trusty old braid ,  at this point i think both have there positives and negatives. the biggest plus to the fluoro i noticed for  a bottom contact like senko is the lack of bow in the slack line it's great for feel not having that. coming off braid though i'm not quite used of the stretch yet and shooter is supposed to be low in that department i can't imagine fluoro that has high stretch must feel like straight up rubber band.

I'd take you spinning combo or the rod with 12# mono.

[hatrix]

It would wither be 6# copoly or mobo or 20# braid depending on the rod or what spool I am using. I would go with the 6# over the braid though.

[FryDog62]

I use Senkos for wacky rigging - with 10 pound Sufix 832 in Ghost color so I can see the line above the surface, and 8 lb fluoro leader about 4 feet long so the fish can't see it. Couldn't be happier with that set up - -

[the reel ess]

17# Fireline (since I bought it Berkley replaced 17# with 20# at the same dia). No leader. I'm almost convinced using leaders around here is a complete waste of $$$ and time.

[ibobpeb]

I use 8 lbs fluorocarbon on my spinning setups and 12-15 lbs diameter equivalent mono/fluoro/braid on my baitcasting setups. I keep it simple. 

[chelboed]

So as you can see...it doesn't seem to matter what line you use for Senko fishing. Everyone here uses everything there is.

12 lb flouro on a spinning rod.

I mostly use 6" Senkos with heavy action rods with 20- (7-6" rod) or 25-pound (7-10" rod) flouro. I pitch bushes where you normally would use a jig. Or in the holes in the grass.

[Crankin4Bass]

8 pound mono on a M spinning rod.

[dodgeguy]

50 lb Sufix 832 yellow with 5 feet of black markered end. I only fish baitcast so that's why.

[Choporoz]

OP answered his own question six years ago.  'Yes.'

 

Try all of them

A lot of folks like braid or braid with a leader. However when fishing weightless plastics I prefer and do better personally with strait floro in 12#. The added slack line sensitivity and density of the line allows for better feel and fall rate. Your rod with 20# may be a bit stiff on the line size. I would try that or the spinning rod to start with.

*For casting ,  I would think #12 lb. straight FC on a M/F casting rod 7:1 reel would be in the ballpark for weightless and wacky jig head Senkos ?

[EWREX]

• weightless t-rig, wacky, neko on spinning gear - 15lb braid to a long 8 pound fluoro leader
• t-rig with a 1/16-3/8oz. pegged weight on casting gear - 12-17lb. fluoro or copoly depending on cover

#8 Nanofil

 

[Mastercaster]

8 lb Tatsu on spinning reel

[Mbirdsley]

10 lbs Berkley 100% flouro.  It maybe heavier than what most people use but, I fish it a lot around cover.  When using the right hooks I like to give them a good crack on the hook set.  Land 98% of fish that hit it 

[DINK WHISPERER]

The lowest I ever go is 15lb fluoro. But most of the time I'm using 17lb. I fish mine in and around cover so I can't go any lower.

I am wanting to only take 1 out and do nothing but Senko fishing to build confidence in it. I have a 7' MH with 65# braid, a 6'9" MH with 20# floro, a 7' M-MH with 12# mono, and a M spinning reel with 20# braid. Which one do you think I should use? 

 

I’m using NRX 852s Stradic 2500 with 20 lb Smackdown and 8 lb Gold Label leader and works really well in limited cover. In cover an NRX 893c and 30lb Smackdown and 15lb Abrazx leader works great for me
