Probably do good on a drop shot too .
Many have caught bass on wacky-rigged Senkos (soft stick hooked in the middle) including me. Not long ago I wondered how other fish species would react to a smaller version of the Senko except instead of using a hook, attaching a jig in the middle. The jig I found drops the bait as fast as a Senko (which is heavy yet soft) allowing the body/tail quiver on the way to the bottom. Here are a few of the prototypes that caught fish the first time cast:
Recently I figured: why not use very thin 'legs' on either side of the body the hook is placed. I came up with these the fish jumped all over! :
Jig weight is never more than 1/16 oz with 1/24 oz best for shallow water. Rather than always allow the lure to sink, I twitch the lure mid-depth, pause to let it sink a bit and repeat. A 1/32 oz jig also works good when working a wacky rigged lure in weed pockets and along weed edges. Key is working the lure slowly in an area and casting to the same spots a few times to draw fish to strike.
