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!

Todays catch. Bass were 11.5 and 12". Would have put them back in the pond to grow, but they both died from shock or the hook, or I squeezed them to death trying to get the hook out. Anyway, we ate them, first time I've been able to eat bass. Was great. Don't understand why lots of people think it tastes bad.

I think I caught this same bass again, same place, same size. Let it go again as it hadn't grown any. Hopefully, it will reproduce more retarded bass I can catch.

Oh by the way Sharon you got the Thumbs up from Andre!! He 's a great Bass Fisherman .You should feel good about that !:)

Ah good then .One more detail and I'll leave you alone .Do you have a pic of the float you used I'm curious how big a profile it was and how sensitive it is .
-

No weight. No swivel on hook. As far as the bass could see, there was nothing but the worm. I have tried without the float too, but the hook invaribly catches on something on the bottom. 'This area where I caught that bass is tricking because there are so many overhanging branches in the water the bass can wrap itself around them.

A nightcrawler /Float #2great! Did you use and split shot above the hook and below the float or did you forego the shot and have the worm sink slowly .I'm full of questions for you Sharon . I suspect there will be more pics of Bass coming from you in the Future!

Thank you, hold the applause please, ha. John, I used a eagle claw #2 hook which I got because I didn't remember correctly you had said 2/0. It worked though it was bent all out of shape. Also got huge nightcrawlers which the bluegill were apparently scared of cause they never messed with them. Used a float above 18" of line. There is a spot right behind me that I see bass feeding from every night. So, I went over there and just plopped it about a foot from the bank. I caught the bass within 5 minutes. You can actually see them coming under water like a torpedo. Do a swim by, nibble, gulp. I was so excited.
