How do you fish a Senko normally: Wacky, Texas Rig, Other

[Airman4754]

All three. On points or on the edge of cover its a T-rig. For suspended fish it's wacky. In weeds I run a 2/0 octopus parallel into the front half of the bait. It falls like a T-rig, is weedless like a T-rig, and twitches like a wacky.

I like to t rig them. I tend to gut hook the bass when I wacky rig.

I'm 80% wacky (ask my wife and kids).  Weightless in lakes, 1/16 oz VMC wacky jig in River current.  The other 20% it's weightless T-rig under docks.  

The one method I can't get my head around is using a weighted T-rig.  For me its more deadly with a weightless tantalizing fall rate.... or if I need a weighted T-rig to get down in and around cover its a creature bait or ribbon tail worm.  A heavy salted Senko with a bullet weight seems like a double negative to me, and a rig that lacks the kind of motion that triggers bites.  But that's just me, I know many that use this method quite effectively...

i tried texas rigging them the other day , and i'll tell ya , i just feel that keeping the bait in the strike zone is kinda hard if you don't get a bite on the fall . for me , wacky rigging them is a lot better for me cause i can have that shimmering action on the fall but when it goes to the bottom i can lift it up again without it moving much out of the zone in which i'm fishing . it seems as though when i texas rigged it , when i went to lift it up for it fall again , it shot around like a fluke and moved quite a ways and that you can't impart any action on the bait like you can when wacky rigging .

one thing i'll say for texas rigging them , they sure do cast easier and a lot farther ...

I use a 24" c-rig with a 1/8oz brass bullet weight with a clicker and a eagle claw 249w weedless hook. Wacky Rigged.

And skip great under docks.

 

I might set up a rod each way, wacky rig and weightless T-Rig and try them both next time.

I like Texas rigging and shaky heading them. Most of the time I like to Texas dog them but shaky heading them works great too.
