Notes: Brent’s go-to Texas rig is actually weighted, which he likes as it shows the fish something a little different. Rod/Reel: Daiwa Tatula Elite MPS 7’3”, Daiwa Tatula Elite Reel (7.3:1) Rig: 4/0 Gamakatsu Offset Round Bend, 16-pound Sunline FC Sniper fluorocarbon Hopefully these setups will help you narrow down your options as you search for the perfect setup for the way YOU fish! We decided to reach out to four of the Yamamoto Tour pros know specifically for their Senko prowess (Brent Ehrler, Larry Nixon, Jimmy Reese, and Jay Yelas) and ask them to break down how they specifically rig Senkos in a couple of the most popular ways (Texas Rigged and Wacky/Neko), so you can get a variety of details on the specifics of what terminal tackle, line, rods, and reels they use to catch fish across the country. Since the vast majority of anglers realize that I suspect the real question they are getting at is not “what’s the best way” but rather “how should I rig it?” Meaning what hook, line, rod, reel, etc.Ī great way to solve questions like this is to sample a group of experts on the topic listen to their opinions and then see where you fall. It really doesn’t matter much as long as it’s in the water the bass eat it. You can use it cut in half on the back of a tiny Ned head or punch it through a thick mat of hyacinth behind a 2-ounce sinker. What you may not know is that despite the Senko’s pedigree, one of the most common questions anglers still ask us all these years later is “what’s the best way to rig a Senko?” Here’s the part where you may be thinking “Yeah Senkos catch fish, tell me something new…” They are equally effective in the hands of top tour pros or the greenest of the green and whether you’re fishing a mountain lake lowland reservoir, tidal river, or a farm pond, you’re going to get bit. The most brilliant thing about Senkos is their versatility. How many bass fishermen catch their first bass on a Senko each year? And if you’ve ever got a true rookie in the boat with you, what’s the first thing you rig up for them? What Gary created out of a ballpoint pen tube didn’t just change the soft plastics game, it changed bass fishing altogether.

There are very few baits responsible for more big bass, big limits, and tournament wins than the 5-inch Senko.
