It's a secret.Don't tell anyone but, Bass seem to really like them and an occational Pike that will tear the whole set-up off,unless you have a steel leader.Weedless or Wacky rigged they work well.(but you did'nt here it from me!)Wink1Wink1Wink1

Will have to pick a pack of these up. Anyone use senkos? Those and slugos seem to kill the bass. I usually put some salt in the bag with the senkos though...Anyone do the same?

How do you wacky rig? I've never heard of it before. and how do you fish it? slow roll or something else?

With that paddle tail, I'm guessin' that a weedless set-up and a slow steady retrieve should do the trick. If the swimsenko's not heavy enough to reach your preferred depth, a split shot or two 12" up the line helps a lot. I've had some luck with Yamamoto's 3 1/2" swim bait (same tail design)using a darter head jig. That might be an option.

I've been waiting for these swimsenkos to hit the stores. Gonna have to get out and get some now.

Where'd you find them, by the way?

How do you wacky rig? just hook it the middle of the worm. i like to let it drop to the bottom then kinda jig it around...with a slow retrieve.

I've been using a different brand with the front end like the Senko and a very defined paddle tail on the other end. Shaw Grisby puts them out. Rigged TX, you can actually feel the pulsating throb when you lift the worm off the bottom. And the paddle wiggles on the way down. Really neat. Have only caught two dinks on it so far, but I can see the potential! I'll be looking for the Senko version for sure. Did you get it at Dick's?
