Senko Rigging

[Kevin Zheng]

Simple question : Wacky or Texas, & why?

Do rigging it wacky w/out the o-ring decrease bites, or does it just tear it up quicker.

IMO - wacky rigging without the o-ring just tears up the senko quicker.  It seems to me that some days they want it wacky rigged and other days tx rigged is the ticket.  They never tell me why they change their preferences from day to day.

I use a weightless texas rig more often with a senko, but wacky style is great when you want a really slow fall. The O ring is a must to avoid quickly tearing up the bait.

Kevin, it is all very much up to each person's
opinion. I personally do not use an O ring, but
I occasionally use shrink wrap but I've lost 
worms on all those techniques.

Personally, just hooking perpendicular to the 
worm works just fine. Now if you are talking
Yamamoto Senkos, then yes, they are a bit 
more "brittle" than other varieties. I found that
I get a few more fish out of the Bass Pro Stik-O.

And comparing to TX, in MY experience, I've
done both, but I do wacky more because it 
has caught me more fish. That simple for me.
