The timing of your video is perfect for me. I’m a walleye guy but I’m in south Florida fishing largemouth with Senko worms for the winter. My go to rig has been a 2500 Daiwa BG series reel, 7’ fast action rod, and 10 lb yellow braid with a 10 lb mono leader. I’ve found the hi-vis braid critical to maximizing my hookups. Fishing a slack line is opposite of my walleye experience, so it took probably a half dozen missed fish before I figured it out. Thanks for the great video.

This is my "they're being stubborn today" go-to. Kind of surprised you don't use the wacky rig as more of a slow moving search bait. I do the same as you with letting it sink to the bottom first, but I've caught many a bass (especially on days when they're fickle) by gently jigging it 2-3 times and then letting it sink again during the retrieve, rinse and repeat. Fall, lift lift lift, fall, lift lift lift, fall etc. Covers a lot more water and can get reaction bites. In fact I've caught more during such a retrieve than on the initial fall. Worth a shot when they're being picky!

I mostly agree with the wacky rig tips. I almost always use a 5 or 6” green pumpkin senko. I found the Mustad wacky o-rings with the black ring that has circle at the top for the hook keep my bait much longer than traditional o rings or hooking thru the worm and they are worth the investment. In addition, I use the Gamakatsu G Finesse Jig Head Wacky Hook Size 1/0-1/16 oz head and it has made all the difference to my hookup and land rate. The VMC cross-over rings are also great ways to keep Senkos on

VMC makes a pair of pliers for wacky rig, plus a custom o ring that allows your hook to never go through the bait. Look up VMC Crossover pliers, it will come with 3 or 4 of their o rings with it and give a try. I like it because the hook runs parallel with the senko. So you can simply insert a shroom weight, turn the hook in the o ring and go instantly to ned style. I keep these pliers in my pocket now. I got the crossover o rings in one side of handle, reg o rings in other. I save alot of plastic, multiple fish on same worm and hook is never in it

If just starting out, use a 5” Senko (Most popular color is Green Pumpkin). Get the size 2, size 1 or 1/0 weedless VMC hooks recommended. Go cheaper on the plastics once you gain confidence on the “how”, “where” and such. Skipping the Wacky Worm on the cast can generate strikes. Try “pop up” casts where you find the first drop off or grass line edge and cast as high as possible and let the Senko “splash” on the landing. I have even taken a small rock and tossed to an edge, got the “splash” and then immediately make a cast right yo that same spot. I caught three in a row using three small rocks to prove it to a Friend once! Always watch your line. I use WHITE Berkeley Nano-fil 10lb. 30% of my strikes are by “line watching”. Suggest using an “O” Ring, VMC Worm Ring or a small piece of shrink tubing on the worm so the Senko will last longer. Before rigging, roll the worm in your fingers to take out the shine and, if using Green Pumpkin, roll the thinnest part through your fingers and it will turn slightly chartreuse. Be well.

Bro those VMC Neko hooks are so good for wacky rig it’s literally the only hook I use now since trying them a couple years ago. Great advice man and I agree with the bait selections as well. The 6th sense clout is my favorite option when using a weighted wacky hook like the jig style hook it makes it sink perfect with that added weight from the jig head. I use an 1/8 or 3/16 ounce weedless jig for that application. If your going weightless the senko or bass pro is the best one for sure

I totally see your point on the lime-colored line. However, here in California, these deep canyon lakes, some that are crystal clear are very particular when it comes to line. I fished Maxima for years, swore by it, told everyone else was they were crazy for not using it. My buddy years back told me to use flouro or get off the boat. Grant you he's my best friend, crazy marine. I heeded his advice and switched. What a difference. It was like night and day. I guess why I was so skeptical was because when braid first came out, it was an eyelet eater. Killed 2 of my Loomis rods. Grant you now, most quality line guides are ceramic now. I guess I'm a grumpy old man (49). Get off my lawn! Haha...great video Nathan. Do you pour your own baits? If you don't, it's time to!

Good stuff Nathan! One bait that has worked for me when using a wacky rig is the Zoom 4" finesse worm. I've watched it sink and the ends flap like a bird flapping it's wings. Caught over 100 bass on that technique years ago. Yes, it's light and requires a dead calm day but, if you find they wont take the larger stick bait, try the Zoom 4" Finesse worm sometime! BTW, I switched to those Neko hooks and, they haven't failed me. If the weed guard isn't an impediment, I'll switch to those from the open hook ones.

Thanks Nathan. Sorry you had to go to the senko in Florida but you do what you have to. Ever throw the 6' down there? There is alot of negativity towards the wacky hooks I can't figure. I have seen small circle hooks catch 6' shark. That being said I do not use them exclusively and have tried the weedless VMC. Good hook but if I am throwing around wood the Gamagatsu finesse weedless is less likely to hang up and a much better hook. Expensive hook but it really is that good. You are so right about yellow braid to leader, it's almost like bobber fishing. I use about 8' to 10' leader and take a black sharpie to about 6' of the braid.

Wacky rigging is definitely a fun way to catch ‘em. Especially on the light tackle. When I take out people who don’t really fish, I set them up with wacky rigs. Unfortunately, the 2 clubs I used to belong to should have been called “wacky bass club”. That’s all everyone ever used. People would literally show up with 6 rods rigged with different size and color senkos. It was frustrating and brainless if u ask me. I really didn’t want to join the trend so I wound up quitting the clubs.

Great video. You know what’s weird though, I have completely different results on our Colorado bass fisheries. I tried the Gary Senko, the bass pros, and some other fat ones like zoom and others. Turns out on the waters I fish, mostly clear and grassy, I have to downsize the worm diameter and length. I’ll catch almost nothing on the OG senko, but slaughter them with yum dingers and some other smaller 4-5” worms. Could be people just pressure these waters way too much here with senkos, so simply giving the bass a different look works.

I say if you are not fishing wheedless, you are not throwing here the fish are. And those little Octopus hooks are the worst. I also use 15# Power Pro yellow braid but about a five foot 10# flouro leader as I don't like the knot on the spool. I use o-rings one size smaller than the recommended 1/4" and don't think the hook being parallel to bait hurts. I also inject my own sticks and have developed a special formula. No salt is used as I use very fine (powder) glass beads as the ballast. My baits are exact same size, sink, softness, weight, shimmy as a real Senko but much more durable. I can also adjust fall rate. I can catch 10-20+ bass on one bait. They are also more clear so transparents are possible and glitters show better. Only a hobby for me as too much work to make any money and they last too long LOL. I also cook Bacon scent into them.

I use Yum 5" Dingers. Watermelon w/red flake, Bama Bug, Ghilie suit, and Black w/blue flake colors work well for me. 10lb braid, 3/0 Wide gap worm hook, 6ft Shakespeare Ugly Stick medium action rod. Shakespeare 1000 reel....some gave it to me years ago and I never bothered researching the specs on it 😂. BUT I do catch bass in clear or murky waters with YUM. Ive used Gary Yamamoto and Googans and had less success but to each his own and its fishing😂

I’m right there with you. I’ve been wacky worm fishing for about 15 years now. I’ve tried them all and the yum dinger has been my best bait by far. I did a test at a honey hole I fish and did it with the Yamamoto senko and the Berkeley power bait. And the yum dinger beat them both with ease. It was literally 5 to 1 not to mention the bait lasted longer than both the other baits put together.

Do you find that fish hit it hard, or is it a real subtle bite? Underwater footage leads me to believe it is an imperceptible pickup.
