How do you rig your senko and why? 2025

DukeDevil91 reply :

I like mine wacky rigged just because its an easier presentation.

rdneckhntr reply :

Mainly trigged but sometimes wacky...

bassbob08 reply :

Deppends on what kind of cover you are fishing and what the fish are eating.

xxmurrxx reply :

T-Rig because I dont like pulling in weeds ;D

David P reply :

Wacky has produced the most and best fish this past spring. For that reason, I fish wacky almost exclusively when it comes to senkos.

.dsaavedra. reply :

whenver im fishin them from my boat ill do it wakcy rigged cuz i can get more of a vertical presentation around cover, but if im from shore ill fish em texposed and twitch them like a jerkbait along the bottom.

BASS fisherman reply :

You should have an "all of the above" option.

Fish it whichever way conditions require and/or allow.

basscat73 reply :

I t-rig mostly because of the all the weeds up here in da north. However, when my senko gets torn up, I'll throw it wacky for a bit. Last night, I had beat up senko that was ripped and nearly torn in two. I wacky-rigged it and then caught a 4lb. smallie. ;D

foul hooked reply :

Wacky. Purely confidence.

Whacky without a lot of weeds, t-rigged with alot of weeds.

Ky_Lake_Dude reply :

T-rigged because it plain catches fish

eastkybass reply :

T-rigged or whacky is the only 2 ways I have tried it so far.

benpsut reply :

Wacky. It falls perfectly fine when t-rigged but IMO it falls DIRECTLY horizontal when wacky rigged. No one seems to know why but they can't resist it wacky. But im not prejudice against trigged, i have tried it and had some nice hits on it.

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Wacky 100% of the time.

Gives the bait the most action, allowing both ends to wiggle.

We have lots of grass but it's hydrilla and doesn't present an issue.

Rattlinrogue reply :

I T-rig 'em weightless.Why?Because most everywhere that I fish is FULL of vegetation,and the weightless T-rig makes for a better presentation.

roadwarrior reply :

I quit fishing the 5" baits several years ago, they simply catch too many fish. "Wacky" is a small bass technique, I don't ever want to catch a 3 lb bass again. I fish the 6" Senko (not knock-offs) T-rigged, weightless and weedless ONLY.

If you can get by the little guys and find your way to the bottom, the chances of catching a bigger bass improve dramically. Most of my biggest bass come after letting the bait settle for a minute or more. Then a movement of 6-12" seems to get their attention. The next time the bait is move, WATCH OUT!

Fish real Senkos slow for better fish.

guest reply :

t rigged.

wacky picks up to many weeds.

iminsanenutz reply :

wacky rig. because he fish hits it like a mack truck

MendotaBassMaster reply :

T-rigged because that is how I learned to t-rig and caught my first with. I haven't caught one wacky rigged yet but I do keep trying from time to time but my go to right now is the t-rigged senko. Pure confidence I guess because everyone tells me wacky rigging is easier.

Olebiker reply :

Texposed, because I get a better hook set than with a regular Texas rig. If fishing is tough, the cover permits it, or I have torn up the senko I have on and am too lazy to get another one out of the box, I will wacky rig.

I will also wacky rig if I am taking a kid out. I can take a kid to an area by the dam, hand him a rod with a Zebco 33 and wacky rigged senko and know that he will catch a few fish.

BadKarma42 reply :

Weightless T-rig 'cause that's how I roll.

Davis reply :

Wacky all the way if the conditions permit it.

Texposed if I have some weed beds that I want to fish. I'm not a fan of the trigged. Have not caught one bass that way. Only a bunch of bites.

If these are small, so are yamamotos prices

guest reply :

both. ;D

rp_carr reply :

80% of the time weightless texas rigged. To be honest this is mostly because this is the rig I am most used to using on platics and I have confidence in it. Trying to explore with other rigs for plastics, especailly wacky rigging and "shakey head" jigs. Its funny I'll spend hours researching a new rigging technique but then when I'm actually on the water I'll go back to an older technique I trust. Its hard for me to built trust in a new lure/presentation.

kms399 reply :

t-rigged untill it starts sliding down the hook or gets torn up then I will wacky rig untill I loose it. I fish around alot of weeds mostly milfoil so the wacky can be kind of annoying at times.
