Bass Fishing Question

[teexthree]

I mostly Bass fish with a Senko worm - texas rigged.

Can you please explain your technique when fishing this style?

I will sometimes "walk" (reel in slowly and pause) the worm across the bottom and sometimes I will slowly reel in while lifting the tip of my rod to make the worm jerk.

All comments greatly appreciated.

I wacky rig all my plastic worms. I dont know how to texas rig. Welcome to the site! ;D

i also t-rigg my senkos but i cast them out and let them sink slowly. usually i get a strike on the inital cast, but if i dont get hit on the cast i let it fall to the bottom then pull the worm back up by lifting my rod tip then let it fall slowly again then repeat.

sumal, that is the method I have used to get the most fish!

Although I do prefer walking with a regular ribbon-tail worm, the soft jerk is very good for in the weeds. Sometimes you'll get a lot more bites if you go slow! (But not always)

are you serious? all this time on here, and living by powerbass, and you dont know the texas rig?? do a search on it. and reb should have a pic for you sumal, those techniques are used alot. i also like to dead stik it on slow days. and also i like to peg a bullet weight about half a foot up from the line, then reel it in some, then stop. good luck, and welcome to the forum.

Wow, the response time to my post was exceptional. And the comments will help me refine my technique.

Got you covered Reb.

Welcome to the forum, Sumal!

Here is the wacky rig they are talking about:

[javlin2]

Where did they get the name "Wacky Rig" from? I was fishing that rig back in '95 when they called it the "Jersey Rig" on a Jersey Worm.

March, 95. Bassmasters did a story on it.

I've always called it a wacky rig. If I read that article correctly a jersey rig is particular brand of bait, not a tactic. Regardless, it sure works!

[Bassin_Dude]

jersey=wacky....do i need to spell it out?? ;D ;D

You may wish to Carolina rig a senko. Have had good success with this method.
