Reverse Rigging for Senkos and Other Stick Worms

OK, guys... a number of members have asked about the reverse rigging for Senkos, Yum Dingers and similar style worms we used to fish on top of heavy algae and weed mats to get those explosive, blow-up strikes from quality bass during late summer. So, here are a few pics to show this simple adaption...just run the 'tapered' end of the worm in on the front of the off-set worm hook so it can glide over top of the slop easier than the blunt end.

Fish it on 20 to 30 lb Sonic Braid...work it like a scum-frog and inch it along on top of the There is still lots of hot weather bassing to do all over the map, so give it a shot at your local, weedy lake!

Comment by Andre Sturkey on July 7, 2011 at 6:20pm: I’m learning this year that so much about successful Bass fishing is about figuring out the pattern on that particular body of water. Different bodies of water appear to have similarities in the most successful pattern however; each has a few vital nuances that can make the difference between success and struggle. For example at both Piney and Loch Raven in my area, Bass are going nuts over 7 inch power worms. But at Piney Run the Bass will only key in on a black worms, meanwhile at Loch Raven greenish worms are the ticket.

Comment by John Sheehan on July 1, 2011 at 6:17am: Bass are swimming hard and leaping out of the water . High gear now! wacky worms, cranks and spinners!

Comment by Andre Sturkey on June 26, 2011 at 1:34pm: Yea John every now and then you'll find a Bigmouth Bass with some fight. But David I promise you if you ever get the chance to catch a smallie you will understand why I now call Largemouth lazy bass!

Comment by John Sheehan on June 26, 2011 at 7:55am: In defense of Largemouths right about now they really start fighting hard!Also I caught a 3.9 lb. Largemouth last year on Dec 6th and it swam hard and long all over a flat.An excellent fight so late in the year on 6#test and a medium light spinning rod.

Comment by John Sheehan on June 26, 2011 at 7:53am: Nothin fights like a Male Smallie guarding a nest and hittin a crankbait!

Comment by david j huebner on June 25, 2011 at 11:36pm: well if i had more smallies around here i would fish for them mainly largemouth bass and enjoy catching them. put up a great fight for me.
