Just weight your Senko a bit to get it deeper. You cant let it fall to fast or it destroys the action. I use Sticky Weight and put it on the hook.

Crankbait, Texas rig, Carolina rig, worm, jig-a lot of baits will work in deeper water around trees and stumps. You can also let your Senko sink-just need a little patience as it does so.

i use tubes around trees and stumps as well as crankbaits. Put a 1/8 ounce tube jighead in the tube and jig it in the cover. I like to bounce lipless cranks off stumps and fallen trees as well.

Use 1 small splitshot and let it fall. Be patient. I've caught countless bass like this. Let the Senko do it's thing.

Forgot about that deep water toad Tom caught. Bamboo Sticks also work well when it is windy-easier to cast since they are heavier.

Caught a bass over 7 lbs on a Carolina-rig senko. Caught another (the same day) that weighed over 5 on the same bait, using the same method.
