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!

Hey Chris...we have had a run of about 2 weeks of very good bass fishing in small lakes and ponds with Senkos, Yum Dingers and buzz baits. Weather is cooling now and I think fishing is going to pick up all over. Some of our fish have been trophys.

I only caught one Musky in my life on a white Spinner bait...only three walleye in my lfe ,all on Shad raps.Biggest channel cat 30"came on a worm... bullheads on hotdogs and other baits
Comment by Josh Neugebauer on August 25, 2010 at 9:43am
so those are good for catching musky walleye and cat?
Comment by John Sheehan on August 20, 2010 at 1:20pm
Josh ,using the same tactics,I catch Crappie and White Perch along with Bluegills ,Pumpkinseeds,and Yellow Perch in my home NJ lake.In other nearby lakes Red Breasted Sunfish come into the mix as well.

We fish off our boat and i wuz wondering what fish could you catch with yellow perch and bluegill... the fish are like catfish musky bass walleye stuff like that and we fish on a lake.
Comment by Josh Neugebauer on August 16, 2010 at 4:34pm
Sure thing John and Thanks guys.... what i have been catching my bass on a lure called " Bass Stopper" what it is its a rubber worm about five or six inches long and they look very real. They come in purple black with red and more...so yes they are very affective.
Comment by chris on August 12, 2010 at 7:27am
josh, i have been having luck on the same stuff john has... i would also try a white or chartreuse spinner bait fished at a moderate speed and also silver bass assassin on a jig very slow over deep drop offs an on mid lake humps.

Josh ,first let me say thanks for creating this group page. From your picture it looks like you don't need help catching Bass!
Hit the shallows early and late if you are fishing from shore.Look for steep banks on the shoreline and fish slow after covering ground at a quicker pace to contact fish.Topwater and wacky worms are catching the majority of Bass for me.Topwater plugs like Heddon Chuggers ,Jitterbugs, Zara Spooks can be great catchers but sometimes they are more effective as search baits.The Bass reveal themselves by swirling at these lures and are then caught on a nother rod rigged with a rubber worm.
