first off let me say that i really hate finesse fishing, i dislike shaky head fishing less than other finesse fishing techniques but i dislike it none the less. so there are probably a lot of guys on here that can give you better advice on shaky heads than i can but i do know some about it and can catch fish doing it so here is my opinions.

yes you can shaky head senkos, i do it some and i have a buddy that does it a lot. everyone knows that finesse worms are good as well as cut down trick worms. also a great bait is a baby brush hog or a regular brush hog. some guys like craws, and beaver type baits. probably my favorite worm to fish on a shaky head is a zoom fork tail.

so short story long, yeah you can shaky head with senkos.

i have never used a senko but i say why not? im sure you will be just as if not more succesful with them as you would fishing them weightless or wacky style. give it a shot let us know!

give it a shot it couldn't hurt , on the same token I t-rig shaky head worms on a thin 1/0 or 2/0 hook and have had great success with them fished that way and i have wacky rigged them as well it's all about presenting something different to the fish .

Fishing a Senko stickbait wouldn't be my 1st or 2nd choice for Shaky head fishing. Senkos are loaded with salt which makes them sink. So instead of the tail end floating up, it will sink and eventually lay on the bottom. A Shaky Head setup bests works with a worm where the tail floats and moves in the slightest of currents. I prefer Zooms 6 inch trick worms for Shaky Head use.

kut tails sink. Floating worm like a 4" robo will give you more action. The 4" cut tail will stand up as you move it over rocks but just not as much. Try it.
