Default Senkos - do you texas rig or wacky?

Seems most people wacky rig them, but I've had little success with senkos until I recently started texas rigging them. Just curious to see if others have had better success texas rigging as well

Yep, that's the way I do it too. Sometimes just letting set on the bottom for a while, and they will pick it up. I use a Zoom Trick worm for "Whacky worming". Watermelon-Redflake on Toledo Bend works well.

tex rig most of the time. If I wacky rig, I use rubber o-rings from home depot, slip the ring over the senko, and slide the hook through the ring. Keeps the senko alive a lot longer.

Texas rig weightless. My all time go to bait, if its not windy. Fish can not resist. Fish slow and watch line. Never rigged wacky, but seems to me that you would go through alot of baits that way.

^yeah, fishing them slow is key as i've found from experience. Sometimes its so hard to pause for 30 seconds, but it really does pay off!

we use both methods, but up here the wacky rig seems to outfish the texas rig almost every time

I've been pounding the Largemouth with un-weighted TX rigged this spring. I don't wacky rig them because I like fishing in and around cover (weeds), and wacky just ain't made for that.
I use the slow methods above, but I also dog-walk it fast across the tops of weeds and get some awesome topwater hits.

Also... I'm cheap, so I use the Bass Pro knock off "Stickos". My hot color this year so far has been the blue/black flake with the blue tail.
