Senko With Spinner

[rowyourboat]

Poche used this lure to finish 3rd in the classic - any one tried it? how/when/where do you fish it???

[Ima Bass Ninja]

I imagine you fish it the same as a regular senko. the spinner is only there for added flash in murky water conditions to help the bass hone in on the bait

[Sherlock 60]

I have seen folks put a Senko or similar worm on a Mepps or Rooster Tail spinner. Tried it a time or two myself but never committed to giving it a good shot.

[Vinny Chase]

That spinner would throw out the small amount of confidence I have in catching quality fish with senkos.

[Daniel My Brother]

Finally, somebody found a way to make Senkos more expensive.

The Senko is effective so many ways, most people now use them wacky style as they discovered the ends of the worm move on the fall even when rigged this way. And of course my favorite way, the weightless Texas rig, the fact that it falls horizontally is a big reason why it is effective but the little side to side shimmy it does will entice any fish to hit it. Shaky heads and carolina rigs, I used to think that adding a weight to a Senko was destroying the action of the bait and turning it into a regular worm, that was until I tried it on a shaky head, while it isn't my first choice I will use it when fish are biting a shaky head but getting a lot of small fish, for some reason bigger fish like it on a shaky head and when getting those small, sub keeper fish on a finesse worm, I'd say 99% of the time switching out to a Senko will result in bigger fish almost immediately. And now we see it being rigged with a small colorado spinner in the end, prepare for an avalanch of knock offs made with the spinner imbedded and it will be willows, colorados indianas and even french spinners but they'll be coming soon. This is most likely a dirty water presentation and with more than a few other competitors throwing a stick worm this was different and probably helped put fish in the boat that had watched normal rigged stick baits go by sometime during the tournament.

Cut a slit in the back of a Hollow Frog and jam a senko in there and have the tip stick out. That enticing wiggle with trick the bass into thinking the frog is "in disposed" and trigger a hit.

Is Owner the only maker of this spinner? insert with a centering pin?? Any ideas?

[WookieeJedi]

I saw a similar rig in an article on lures for pike, only it was a lizard instead of a senko.

[hatrix]

I cant remember what the technique is called but you stick a nail weight in the end of a senko or any worm I guess so it stand up right and put the hook through the middle of it and kinda wiggle it accross the bottom. I had great success with that last year using senkos. The action looks amazing on it and the fish seemed to love it. That might be my favorite way to fish senkos even though I rarely fish them.

[SENKOSAM]

I've been using spinners and plastic worms for years with good results, especially in spring.

My best plastics are Zoom Speed worm and a slim Senko-like stick I pour myself.

In-line spinners are easy to make and I use a few beads wtih a #3 Colorado blade and attach the rig to the usual worm hooks I use for those baits. The technique I use calls for the hook to exit 1/3 from the front of a white or bubblegum worm.

Technique:

For early pre-spawners and fish entering into a second spawn, I cast the rig out and jerk-&-pause, varying the time paused. Jerk worming is usually a given in spring and especially productive when adding a bit of flash. It works best in shallow weedy water and over wide rocky flats near wetlands or forest overhangs.

Other than using a homemade spinner, I use a large Mepps with an exposed straight hook (vs. a treble) and a 7" worm. Pickeral can't ignore it - unfortunately.

I believe that technique is called the "neko rig"

What size Mepps do you use for this rig? My home lake has a spot I usually avoid due to Pike strikes this time of year, but I recently noticed the state record here in LA is quite beatable, and I registered for the Mustad contest this year. If I can kill pike and make some bank, it might be worth a couple of days of fun invested.

[Crestliner2008]

Another caveat, that I started playing with last season, involves a wacky rigged Senko, with small spinner blade afixed to the hook via a small crane swivel on the shank of the hook. Salmon love this set-up!

[basscatcher8]

Zona said Poche was swimming this rig as well through grass instead of letting it just fall like some folks normally fish a sinko

Aglia with #4 or 5 blade.

A large Road Runner/ worm is also an option I will try in the next few weeks.

[WookieeJedi]

I just so happen to have an Aglia in the #4. I have some big Road Runner bucktail striper jigs, too. I might just tie one on with one of those bright plum worms as a trailer. Those pike seem to like the pink/purple colors.
