Most Successful Senko Rigging Style: Wacky Or Texas? 2024
tcbass reply :
I have a lot of success with Wacky rigging my Senkos. My friend Texas rigs his. Perhaps this is so he doesn't lose so many Senkos.
Which is the most successful Senko rigging style?
1.) Wacky
2.) Texas Rigged
kylek reply :
I don't think I have ever fished one T-rigged
OroBass reply :
T rigged is how they were designed to be fished. They are also much more weed less when t rigged.
Alonerankin2 reply :
Yep, cps owners, but also will wack rig em as well.

OntarioFishingGuy reply :
I only catch fish when they're wacky rigged, but they look so much better and they are more convenient to fish when Texas rigged. I guess it comes down to whose opinion is more important, mine or the fishes.
fishballer06 reply :
Both ways work great, but I primarily use them wacky style.
Longlivenyy reply :
I catch more fish wacky style, but lose senkos mush faster that way.
Fishing Cop reply :
I bought my first pack of senkos recently and wacky rigged one. I still have never caught a fish wacky rigged or using a senko.
Raul reply :
Texas rig ?
Texas rig is: BULLET SINKER, hook and worm
Weedless unweighted, which the way most people rig their stickbaits is not Texas rig.
BassAddict1911 reply :
i'll tell you a little secret - the absolute best way to rig a senko is ... CONFIDENTLY!! It's extremely obvious that both ways catch a lot of fish , so just do what you have confidence in:) Trust me ... the fish will eat it either way.
Arv reply :
Both are most successful

Quit being a killjoy ! Raul...
K_Mac reply :
Confidently is the best answer! Wacky is by far my most productive way of using them. They were designed to wiggle seductively and do that either way. Let the fish decide...
sprint61 reply :
5" yum dinger on a 3/0 ewg 1/8oz weighted gammy T-rigged. This really makes the bait come alive and allows you to fish it a tad faster.
Darren. reply :
Have had success both ways, but more often I find success when wacky rigged.

Probably the most common method of rigging a plastic bait and the most familiar to fishermen is the Texas Rig. It is a quick and simple technique to fish one of the most productive bass lures; the plastic worm. In the original Texas Rig, the worm is rigged on the hook with the point of the hook pinned back into the body of the worm to make it weedless and a bullet weight is used on the line ahead of the hook. In recent years the term Texas Rig has come to mean the weedless method of putting the bait on the hook whether a weight is used or not. Thus, many anglers talk about Texas Rigging a Senko or other soft plastic stick baits, or Texas Rigging their drop shot bait on an offset hook to enable them to fish the drop shot around wood and other hook-snagging cover. Times they are a changing.
Catch and Grease reply :
I like the Texas rig... Don't fish wacky much but when I do I don't really care for it, I like a wacky senko for skipping though!!

So, basically Rage Rig the Senko?
FishTank reply :
T- Rigged for me, weightless.
TrippyJai reply :
T-Rig weightless is weedless. In open water, I like wacky.

Are you serious or just trolling?!
BigMoneyGrip reply :
I fish them both ways, about 50/50 and both produce about the same. Either way, they are weightless.

He isn't trolling and he is,technically, correct.
J Francho reply :
Doesn't matter, I pick the one that is the least hassle. That usually means wacky, unless the weeds are so thick, I have no choice, and then I go weed less.
hawgenvy reply :
Weedless. Where I fish in S FL the submerged weeds and green muck are so dense I'm lucky to get the weedless Senkos through, and T-rig bullet weights with worms have to be reeled in above the bottom or they're drooping with gobs of algae. Top water weedless toads make life a lot easier.
wnybassman reply :
I would dare guess that well over 50% of my Senko fish the last few years have been on..............................
3) Wacky on a dropshot
Amazing how thick of weeds this rig can be thrown into as well, even with an open hook.
dam0007 reply :
Ive never had a nibble with a 3 or 4/0 off set wg hook. I was thinking it kills the baits wiggle. I guess not. Poll is tied. Ive been going wacky with a size 1 hook. Good luck thus far.
shawnmc reply :
I like Texas rigged because I can fish faster and cover more water. They both work well though.
J Francho reply :
Where and when has a greater effect on your success than what and how.
PersicoTrotaVA reply :
I am a lickle wacky. I always catch fish on a wacky rig, always. I don't like the traditional T-rig. I like to rig a yum dinger on a 3/0 EWG hook and shove a nail weight about 1 to 2 inches in from the tail of the worm. I also push the nail into the head of the worm and rig the hook weedless about 2 inches from the tail. I have caught fish both ways and its something a little different than a plain ol' t-rig.
FrogFreak reply :
I don't care for wacky rigs but they do work when other things don't.

A wacky rigged senko on a DS is such a productive technique that you don't hear about much. If I'm wacky rigging, it's generally on a DS these days after figuring out how successful it can be...especially like you say, in weeds.

And it is such a silly looking rig.
And since that picture was taken I have gone to a shorter drop, a heavier weight and o-rings on the bait to I can really snap the weeds off when I need to.

How shallow of water will you fish?

I've fished it in 2 ft effectively.
kwaldeier reply :
I figured Texas style would be winning the poll!!
hawgenvy reply :
How about Jika rig for Senko? Anyone try that? I havent yet, but plan to.

Straight under the boat?

Hahaha, you don't have to fish a drop shot straight under the boat.

No. I cast my DS rigs.
moguy1973 reply :
A couple years ago I caught a ton of fish on a white 4" or 5" BPS Stick-o or YUM Dinger rigged weedless, but I haven't caught any that way since then. Since I've tried them wacky, that's the only thing they'll bite now. I've also tried other colors, green pumpkin with gold flake being the most popular it seems.
Coherence reply :
Hands down wacky for me. Even on super pressured ponds I'll usually get at least a couple fish on wacky rigged senko
slimshad reply :
Texas rigged no weight. I also have done well on rocky banks putting the senko on a shakey head. I think wacky feels wierd when working the bait. I have no confidence wacky rigged. I do wacky rig a big creme 8" worm in the spring. It doesn't have the resricted feel like a senko while working it.
