Why do you want it to fall fast?????????????

I usually fish my Senko's T-rigged and weightless.

I fish them on points and laydowns over deep water 10-20 ft.  They sink fast enough just be patient.

MD is right on with the weightless . Let it fall on a semi slack line and watch the line . Jerk it up and let it flutter back down . Try putting a red hook on them as well .

But i like the smaller 4 inch senkos during winter and spring when they eat small .  But watch a senko drop it quivers and flutters as it falls . A four inch senko weighs 1/2 ounce . I can throw weightless great and put it in tight . Hope this works for ya , good fishing to ya.

agreed. if you're fishing in less than 30 foot of water patience will pay better dividends to fish weightless. the fluttery action can't be achieved any other way and, in 20 foot or less, it doesn't take all that long to let it glide down.

if you do want to move to a weight, though, I'd recommend nail weighting the senko or switching to a drop shot - either method have their own benefits and don't hinder the action like a 1/4 oz or higher bullet sinker on a texas rig would. g'luck!

The slow sinking of the worm is what gives it that action thats why the fish bits on its way down
