Like wacky style or texas on the end of the jig?
Everything you mentioned..... Except with the o rings/rubber bands.... I just don't like it. PLUS quite a few different ways you didn't mention..... And I am not talking, unless you're paying. I'll pm you my paypal information, then we can talk. Lmao.
Texas rigged is the way to go. It doesn't need a weight, senko provides enough. Wacky rig is okay, but its not very weedless
Texas Rigged Weightless always works for me. Cast it out, and let the bait work for you.
Wacky 90% of the time.
I'm relatively new to the senko game but I've done well lately wacky rigging.
Just be creative..
Texas rigged with a 1/8 tungsten bullet. Or on a 1/8 oz wide gap wacky jig head. I think buckeye makes the ones I like.
The way I honestly utilize a senko the most often is on a Carolina rig.
T rigged weightless is my favorite, however these things can be fished anyway you can think of. A perfect example was tonight, I was fishing them weightless over the drop offs and swimming them back to shore and the fish were loving it.(Green pumpkin megastick tonight)

<<<<<< She gobbled up a 1/2 oz jig & 7 inch Senko trailer.
Texas threaded on the back of the jig like one would rig a craw or other typical trailer.

Ummm.....no...no.....I mean no...of course none of that works, just like they don't work on a drop shot, or as a flipping bait, or on shaky head (they don't stand up...and I guess from what all the experts here say a bait HAS to stand up to work on a shaky head or your wasting your time)
Swimming it on a weighted swimbait hook doednt work either....
Found that one on accident one day
running a senko weightless along lily pads or other similar surface vegetation doesn't seem to work well either..
First I have no secrets I like to see everyone catch fish. I stop fishing to help kids too. I feel teach a kid to fish and he'll be hooked on fishing, not on drugs.
I use a 1/8oz bullet weight on a Carolina rig with a 24" red Cajun 17# leader with a snap swivel with eagle claw weedless hooks with wacky rigged senkos or weedless brushogs. I believe the fall rate on the 1/8oz weight with the 17# leader is just right. It works for me from shore.
One spot were there is a hangout for bass I usually catch them with cranks it was slow so I threw a gambler ace (senko) in electric blue and caught them again.

Unless you split and pinched the eye on that bell sinker, I'm lost......
For me, stick worms are my finess presentations. I use casting gear almost exclusively and these are easily cast. When I want a straight fall, I'll rig them wacky style, otherwise I'll fish them weightless like a Fluke, but deeper.
I am starting to use the swim senkos more than anything, just gives you the extra action no matter how you fish it. Just use a swimbait hook, jig, swim, and sometimes I well throw them on a wacky rig. That tail action moving when you jig it. I bet on a C rig it would work nice.
Weightless t-rigged! It's impossible to work it wrong.
Started playing around with a nail in the tail end.
Texas rigged weightless, sometimes wacky but I prefer the weedless way because I fish lakes with a lot of weeds and grass.

Interesting....I decided last weekend that I'm done with swim senko's altogether. Bought the big kit and haven't had a single bite - any color, any presentation, any waters. I'm a fan of the worms still -- but they've lost a lot of ground lately in my opinion...to the Rage Cut-R.
I still use a lot of senko worms. I'd guess it's about:
10% Wacky
40% T, weightless
50% T, smallest bullet I can get away with depending on conditions
When you say T rig a Senko do you mean a regular stick Senko or a ribbon tail Senko?
Never mind didn't think I needed to check the pics on the first post.
Wacky by far, but I use other techniques -- and no O rings, either. I'll use shrink wrap tubing sometimes...
Wacky rigged senko... I use a trigg for flipping in small pockets of Lilly pads
And I use either an o ring or just the hook doesn't matter to me. On Gary's I use the o ring others it doesn't matter.
Weedless, weightless, wacky...did I say that right? Lol
I rarely use a senko but when i do i usually fish it weightless or texas
40% of the time I'm fishing I'm throwing a weightless senko. It works great texas rigged too.
I'm pretty sure that however you can attach a senko to a hook, it will catch fish.
Weightless T-Rig is the most productive then Whacky.
weightless t-rig
I use it wacky most of the time with no O ring. I just have never done as well with an O ring then without. I will t-rig around weeds and pads.
If anyone wants a senko that the tail floats on a shakey head or Carolina rig you should check out the one's for sale on ebay by kirknhollie. His senko's actually float, so they don't work weightless but are great for any weighted application. His baits are super soft and he will make any color you want, and they are much cheaper than real senko's. Just make sure you ask him for the baits that float as he also makes a bait that sinks. If you email him tell him Chris from Canada recommended these baits, thanks Chris.
