Senkos
I tried to experiment yesterday morning at the canal with a 7" white senko on a owner 1.5 oz dart jighead and it didn't give me any casting problems because of it's extra weight on the jig to allow me to make it through the wind during the rains. I haven't caught a bite on it yet...
I was just wondering that if you guys have used it before on the canal or anywhere else and wanted to know if it works or not. I read an article from The Fisherman about people using it to catch stripers and whatnot. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have used them but without success....probably just because I was
experimenting with them on slow periods.
I love the Yamamotos for the freshwater, but worry about the
durability in the salt. I consider sluggos much more durable and
have had bass completely shred them.
I have also tried the swimming senkos without luck but they really
have a similar profile as the redgills....and of course much much
cheaper. Again durability is an issue, but might be offset by cost.

Sweet water only for me......and I swear by them in the fresh. Toss them around the pads in the summer and they are absolutely deadly. My 5 biggest LM came on Senkos. As stated though they aren't very durable....couple of fish and they are done

I have caught schoolies up in casco bay in the fall with Senko's, don't see why they wouldn't work in the canal if you can put one in front of a fish. Like others said, not durable, probably one per fish. Might be an option for a teaser on front of a plug?

Yeah, I agree with you guys on the durability. Yes, I absolutely love them for freshwater, but the currents on the canal seem to ruin it's effectiveness. I might be considering to try to use it as a teaser or do it like a drop shot style and try.

Some narragansett sharpies used to slay fish on Senkos. I think that is how the idea for a rigged slug-go originated, but I could be wrong about that. i just know they catch...

I think there are a lot better choices than Senkos for the canal. Senkos shine in still water....none of that in the canal 
It's the subtle shimmy as they sink that drive LM's wild....

This is the most consistant 7 inch Senko rigging method that seems to work for me in the surf. Downsize the senkos, hooks, weights, for back bay areas. Think of it as a "sinking Needlefish".

Catches just about anything. The last email from Zeke that Dennis passed to me, he was on a path with a grizzly bear out west, and before that an aligator down in Florida. One can only assume the bear and the gator must have ben terrified! The original "No Fish is Safe" fisherman. |
