ABC's of Senko fishing

I explain the many details of senko fishing like the right rod, reel and line,the sizes and best colors,the cast to the target, how to hold your rod and set the hook, to name a few!

[@seabreaz9701]

Roland Martin is by far the BEST how to instructor when is comes to bass fishing. I always learn something when I watch his videos. Thank you Mr. Martin.

[@derekjackson1039]

When JH does how to, he's pretty good too. Wish he'd do more. JH is more “hey come fish with me” style, which I also enjoy

[@jimv1484]

I appreciate the ole schooler workin KZbin and helping a lot of us regular folks catch more fish. I really appreciate that its not all edited....it shows a pro losing worms...casting into the bushes etc.........your a good man RM.....keep the vids coming

[@lebleup]

Mr Martin, today I went fishing with the set up similar to yours.... 7ft Medium Heavy rod, bait caster,braided line with fluorocarbon leader double UNI KNOT....Texas Rig with a Bobber Stop, 1/8 oz slide weight and the world famous (297) Senko. Simple set up. And it produced. Was on an Outback Kayak. Folks... Mr Martin knows the deal. Nothing funner than feelin’ that line twitch droppin’ it down and then snatchin’ that rod up to see and feel it bendin’ down with a fish on the end of it. Just pure wholesome good times. Than you Mr. Martin!

[@lukesierra5102]

Wild.

[@williamcharleson2051]

I know man I have a outback too.i just got into this kayak catching bass thing and its brought so much joy to my life. Its great simple fun. 12 hours feels like 3 hours when I'm out there fishing

[@jeremynagle9176]

These videos are so refreshing. Sometimes I don't want to have to fast forward past 10 minutes of video of people hanging out before fishing, or 2x video of people driving to where they're fishing. This is just right to the fishing and it's educational. Been watching you for 20+ years. You're the best Rowland keep these coming!

[@hummer4u2nv11]

Mr Martin, Your KZbin channel is really coming along great. Thank you for taking the time to make and share them with us. I have been meaning to write THIS comment on several other previous videos...the only thing I would recommend is can you please use one of those clip-on microphones (the separate ones that attach onto your shirt)? Because unless you are directly close to the camera microphone it becomes difficult to hear you. The one on your shirt would allow you to move around and still be loud and clear for us. Thank you. Keep up the great work. Blessings continue for you, your family, and friends. +++

[@gregoryfairchild2460]

I grew up watching and learning from Roland...and here we are again! Keep your lines wet Roland!

[@padretheelder]

Mr Martin, I need to tell ya. I'm 50 years old and have loved to fish all my life. I have never been very good at it and have never had anyone that could teach me. My wife and I stumbled upon your you tube channel and have been hooked ever since. You have an excitement about you that is infectious. and you are a fabulous teacher. Long story short, and the reason why I wrote this. The other day i took the things you teach on your videos. from tying the knot to how to attach a worm to how to fish it and went fishing specifically for Bass. and would you know I actually caught two. The first time in my life I fished for bass specifically and caught anyI want to thank you for spending your time on this and you have a viewer for life.

[@antoniomora1255]

I watched the video several times, writing notes on how to fish the Senko but, above all, your tackle. I am not yet a sophisticated bass angler. I have just started with braided lines, leaders and so on. Never tried baitcasters. so far. I fish from the bank and can only claim to have a decent command on dragging a watermelon seed Zoom Trick Worm. The sethook I do most of the time horizontally for wider sweeping action. I didn´t know at first you are the great Roland Martin I had heard about here in Spain on numerous occasions. I love the way you explain things (I am a Math teacher too). I am sure your students must have been delighted with you. Thank you very much Mr. Martin.

[@rvnerd7671]

I tried jigs, spinner baits, frogs and watermelon salamander. Yes, I caught fish but nothing like he did. He finally gave one. I caught a 6 pounder! I am sold on the senko! Now. Please try this lure. Texas rigged. Shawn

Don't be so easily fooled that one line can white wash everything else. "hey Roland we got a shit ton of senkos and braided line help us move this product please. We also have baseball themed rods which don't sell. Any help with these?" He is a salesman first . Sorry I do love Roland but KZbin ads do this. This video itself is a 17 minute ad and has 4 ads placed within. Give me a fucking break.

[@LOSTXPLAYGUN]

This man is a legend, doesn't matter if he is plugging some ads. Everything he said is the truth.

[@scots2129]

I definitely learned something from this video. Most go into a long explanation of how a senko works, the history and other stuff we all know. This man was talking about rod position, never heard that before. And if this was nothing but an ad placement video, he did a poor job of that. I missed what line of braid he was supposedly selling. The rod he was selling. He showed the dip stuff so quickly that I did not even catch the name. Some people just want to be salty I guess.

[@hoxiedog]

I have watched you for years and years and I always learn or remember something by not only watching, but listening...I caught my first fish on a black cream worm on the 6th of June 1970...used a buggy whip fiber glass rod and a Zebco 33 with 10 lb mono (and I thought at the time that 10 lb line was too heavy)...the technique (read about worm fishing in a magazine at the barber shop) was completely different from what you just taught...supposed to watch the line and give the fish slack line when it took off with the worm, then when the line stopped, wait a few seconds and set the hook...and if the hook set did not rock the boat, you probably missed the fish...I knew the technique worked, but it took a 10 minutes...so I tied my full size torpedo back on and caught a bunch more kentuckys for the fish fry...never really worm fished again until I got my first graphite rod...
