Increasing Hook Ups With Senkos

[basslover12345]

Sam, Thank you for the info, I will be sure to try it when I go fishing at a pond by my house today. What I have been doing with the hookset lately is when I see the line start to move and the bass Is swimming forward with it, I wait a second, Set the hook, and usually i am pretty excited so I hurry the fish in and let him pull drag while keeping the line semi tight. Usually when the line is sinking I leave it semi slack over the water, so when the bass eats the senko I know, I usually do not feel any type of bite. I have the following colors in my box as of today:

-Green pumpkin dipped in JJ's Chartreuse

-Black/blue

-Green pumpkin with gold flake

-Junebug

-Strike Kings Amistad speacial color

I have both texas rigged and wacky rigged the senko before, in 2010 I mostly went the route of texas rigging my senkos almost all of the time, but this year I've been focusing on the Wacky rig.

I think my problem is I am not letting the bass run with it long enough, I usually set the hook when I see the Line move off. I've only hooked 3 bass deep inside the mouth this year since march. Usually they will just inhale it and swim slowly away.

Usualli I can use one senko to catch 2 bass per bait, and when I hook the thired one the senko comes off.

it doesn't seem to matter if I am texas rigging with an EWG hook or using a finesse hook and an o-ring, I have never really had a problem hooking up or landing fish with a senko or senko style bait.

With the O-Wacky tools and the O-rings how many more fish do senkos last for?
