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!

Man, that's a nice bass, John! I can't wait to hit that spot once the weather warms up again.

Wish I knew this info when I caught it in late summer 2015 ,so I could have been thorough .

If it look like a LMB and it's jaw hinges in front of its eye it's a spotted bass  AKA Kentucky Bass , or Strawberry Bass  LOFR

This is satisfying verification that it's Largemouth and not a Spotted .You're very thorough Slip! The notched Dorsal separation . California fed long growing season Trout fed Bass are always a jealousy inspiration!
