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 John Sheehan on September 19, 2015 at 7:00am: Here's a 12,1/2 " Smallie from the same 1000 islands trip .Took a 4" Sluggo Carolina rigged with a 1/8 th oz. egg sinker 1/6th oz slider head/hook. 20 or so foot depth, lift and drop near bottom .

Comment by John Sheehan on September 19, 2015 at 6:55am: This was a 16" largemouth I caught and released on a recent trip to Chippewa Bay St.. Lawrence River in the 1000 islands NY. Took a Green Salted Yum Tube /1/8th oz Jighead at about 15- 20 ' off a Bluff by the Osprey nest Buoy .The Smallies and Largemouths are heavy for their length .I believe from gorging on ubiquitous Gobies

Comment by John Sheehan on August 29, 2015 at 7:49am: Dragging the 4" Yum across the slop gets a 14,1/2" Largemouth. Really need to switch to braid I'm thinking .I missed/lost d 3 fish with mono .Maybe it's because I reacted too and quickly did bad hook sets.

Comment by John Sheehan on November 16, 2014 at 8:39am: Thanks Jim , yes they are a special fish and I don't catch many of them .When I do it's a big thing for me! I love taking them on top water too!

Comment by Mark Sleeper on October 30, 2014 at 10:35am: thanks I like that,also use it most of the time fly tying

Comment by John Sheehan on October 30, 2014 at 10:16am: good trick to keep the guard from unraveling!

Comment by Mark Sleeper on October 30, 2014 at 8:19am: Hi John they are 3/0 they work great, only thing I do is use clear goo uv on the wire weed guard where it is wrapped on the hook
