How I rig my favorite lure, the Senko, the World's #1 bass lure!

I show how I rig my Senkos. The proper hook , line and weight. I also show how I rig with spinning tackle as well!

[@trophybasshunter4life584]

Yes monofilament still catches bass and you have less break offs because of the stretch it is more forgiving and the cost is 1/4 of the price of fluorocarbon line. I like the 7 inch Senko for big bass. You da man Roland.

[@jheissongaona3935]

Using braid with mono leader cannot be beat. Benefits of having braid main line but the forgiveness and necessary stretch of mono leader is always a must for me

[@whittamps]

I have drifted back to mono for the stretch totally by accident. I hear you!

Happy Fishing my friend. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@MartinMazur]

Senkos and their many lookalike kin, have been my go to bait, in the last couple of tournaments. Fished them weightless, had good quantity, but most ended up smaller than what my team partner and I already had. Used mainly a black/blue or a baby bass color. But catching them was the most fun time.

[@tklube308]

Thank you sir for the instructions

[@2021boomer]

[@francistrevisani9200]

I had so much luck fishing Senkos with wacky rig and circle hooks, I forgot how to really fish a worm. Well it's caught up to me, I have to be the worst worm fisherman out there..LOL - so thanks Roland for getting me back to basics, which I promise to do next time out - Texas Rig, Palomar knot, lightest weight possible, pegged- I have always used spinning gear and mono - usually 6 or 8 lb test, good distance casting

[@thefishermanslog766]

My favorite lures used to be a mepps#2 Gold But recently I have been using power bait those Pink worms Bringing in the trout on a #8hook My favorite spinner now is a panther martin #2 &6black and green dots or a yellow one with red dots

Roland: Great job on You-tube video presentations… learning a lot..I’ll be fishing clear waters of Canyon and Saguaro lakes in Arizona this fall. Question: should rig up my bait caster w/Texas rig Senko with braid & flouro leader or just mono? Thanks. Kurt St. George, Utah

[@jefftuttle7890]

I'll bet Roland Martin could catch fish with a cigarette filter! That's how good he is. Take care Roland and thanks for sharing. God Bless.

[@7spadefish7]

There’s a mold company out there that makes a core shot senko type mold where you can make the center hollow….I wonder how it might work to have the line go all the way through the worm and have the hook at the end of the bait.

[@pondparadisedesignsinc.rob5313]

GREAT VIDEO What is the best screw in weight brand for this method? Thank you my hero

[@jontemple5034]

Hi Roland. Thank you for your tutorials & recommendations! I am from South Louisiana. In your opinion, what type of bait/lures would you suggest for: Red Fish, Rainbow/Speckled Trout, and Sheep fish?

[@marcushibdon2415]

Cool 😎

[@wowthatsawesome2762]

Fluro carbon upsides: Does not tangle easily and is very durable, it is invisible in the water as well. Downsides: Really expensive, sinking in the water makes it harder to fish topwater lures along with not being able to watch the line when bait-fishing. and it does not cast as far as mono.

[@georgeadcock2347]

😊 I still use monofilament line as well. I know exactly what I am getting and how it handles

[@christopherrefusal4843]

I’m the same way with line and catch flak for it constantly lol

[@kurtvincent7437]

Roland is my sensei!

[@wesleybigham1]

Mr. Martin you already know how I feel about the good ole 5 inch 297 green pumpkin senko. But the other day I was in the tackle shop and the had some of the 6 inch 297 green pumpkin senko’s. Have you had any luck with those?

[@jasonlopez4855]

Thas all i use is monofilament I can change out line every time I go out. For 50.¢ to $1.50: each reel to fill up.8 lbs line to 12 lbs line up to 20 lbs monofilament has been the maximum. But where I live there's not so big Bass.

[@edwardbailey7161]

Great video...When/where would you consider fishing the 6" or 7" size Senkos?

[@cdr2326]

Florida in grass or anywhere heavy vegetation. Weightless or 1/16 just my opinion.

[@BrentAllenOutdoors]

Roland, Triadelphia Reservoir is killing me this summer. Got any tips to catch them here in the heat? I know you did well on Triadelphia and Rocky Gorge a while back.

[@deanjohnson5946]

I would like to know how many fishing poles and reels does Roland Martin have

[@kellyfreeman]

I've started using weighted hooks a lot for worms. Good results. Basically a weedless rig but with more of a wacky fall. Do you ever do that? Still like the screw-in weights too. Great video as always Roland! You're the best!

[@jerryduncan9282]

I’ve got to try that Kevin never really ever thought of doing that do you rig it up Texas rig

[@kellyfreeman]

@@jerryduncan9282 yes use the screw lock weighted hooks. Mustad or Moaner.

[@douglasspickler4925]

I agree Roland I'm still a monofilament user. Maybe it's a Maryland thing. I would rather have fresh monofilament spooled than older fluorocarbon.

What’s the smallest hook you can use but still be effective

[@gianpieroperez]

Hi, I'm starting to fish, does this lure work for all seasons? What lure do you recommend for this season that is about to start? Thanks.

have you fished the tim ford’s lake in tenn.

[@presson1974]

In my opinion you can’t beat a zoom trick worm wacky rigged with a split shot I’ve coughs hundreds on it and it still amazes me that the wacky rig is so overlooked

[@thisislargemouth5566]

Try a weighted wacky hook. Or a straight weightless wacky work. I think they appear more natural than the split shot. You might trick some more skittish fish that way.

[@walden6272]

When you bury the hook, is the hook point barely sticking out or is it deep in the middle of the worm?
