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!

Sure did. The water in the bag was the same as the creek before I put them in. Strangely, they all swam away, but seemed to need oxygen and were gulping at the water surface. Haven't seen any more dead ones though.

Sharon-I am no expert but temperature has to be controlled before releasing fish into a new environment.Dont want to shock them. Did you take temps of water the bass came out of and water going into?

One of my new bass fish died! Maybe more, but 1 is all I saw.

I have a question for bass experts. I got some 5" bass today to put in my creek. The fishery only put about 4" of water per 25 bass. Got them in the creek within 30 minutes, but most of them seemed to be staying near the surface and gulping. Do you think they are oxygen starved? They are swimming around fine, do you think they will recover?

Will bass eat catfish, spiny fins and all?
