Why does this channel not have 500,000 subs? I've caught more fish off of things you guys have taught me than any other channel. You straight up excuse my language know your shit.
Marcus Long keep watching these guys! Huge advantage over people that don't! Some of the things they talked about in this video I thought nobody was doing anymore! Senko on a jig was new to me! These guys are the real deal!👊
agreed. I used to fish flukes like how everyone does and it worked ok but as they mentioned the hook ratio was bad so I kind of stepped away from it. After watching one of the videos about rigging it up like the banjo minnow, my ratio has gone way up and I've actually bought more flukes lately compared to senkos. I'm a big believe of the original banjo minnow cause it worked like a charm and now with the fluke rig, i'm loving it again.
Haters gonna hate... but on pressured waters and with pressured fish or just sometimes finicky fish, a slightly different presentation is key. Try this stuff out before you bash these guys. People kill me. Matt and Tim, great video.
For real! I fished a highly pressured lake just today, and tried to catch a bass we saw right off shore near some reeds. We dropped all kinds of stuff right on her to try to get her agitated. We musta tried for 30 minutes, she never bit and she never left the area. We gave up, but stayed around (if there's one there's more, right?), and this guy comes by so we tell him about the fish. He has a senko, exact same color as one I had already tried. Difference is, mine was rigged standard texas rig with a bullet weight. He has his weightless, and texas rigged, but not at the head. He has it texas rigged riiiiiight in the middle. Dude plops his bait in right where we were (pretty much on top of her, she was
I just recently started throw a senko on a wobble head. the action is awesome and i get to cover water while dragging it over just about every piece of structure i can find
You guys are such a great duo. You feed off of each other’s info with such respect. Get along great and work a together as a team. I see how you look at each other when the other one talks and listen to each other. Keep going with everything we love you guys. Tactical Bassin masters.
Nice timing!! I just got a bunch of new Senkos and Finesse Worms from Tackle Warehouse. LOL. When I wacky rig I always use 2 O-rings crossed so that I make sure the hook is facing the right way. An easy way to rig it without buying additional gear.
I've been bass fishing for ten years everyday and never have thrown one because I used to see guys only use it and never tried anything else, I like the challenge of doing different things. Love the videos bro, I got a bunch of senkos in my boat, I cut them in half as a ned rig
These are some great methods you guys are sharing here. I was especially surprised to see the "harness" method you described at 4:30. I've been using that method for several years with great success. The big difference is that I've never seen the harness before, I just used 2 o-rings and crossed them over each-other. You didn't mention however what I believe is the most important benefit of this method; when the hook is parallel to the Senko, there is more of a chance for missed hook-ups by the Senko sliding out of the fishes mouth when setting the hook. When it's perpendicular though, the hook tip is positioned pointed up into the fishes mouth when you make the set.
Hahaha I was legitimately looking for senko videos just two days ago. You guys are the best and read my mind. Also eco pro tungsten make wacky weights where it's a disk weight with a wire going through it. You put the eye into the bait and then rig the hook through that eye. You're still in the plastic but it's nice because the metal eye of the weight helps prevent the hook ripping out
Soooo i cant beleave theres 79 people who disliked this video. Makes no sence to me because this is the best sinko rigging video ive ever seen. These 2 guys are by far some of the best at what they do. Ive cought many fish from these informative in depth videos that teach us hard techniques that are still simple enough for a guy like me to understand and put to use. Keep these videos comming guys. #1 in my book.
Another thing with the wacky rig is so you don't have to buy those specialized wacky harness is you just place to wacky rings on and just make them cross on the senko and thread the hook thru the X. Turns your hook still but saves you money
Ben Greenawalt Save even more $$. Saw this on another video. Buy the little rubber bands for "braces". Double up one band at the head of the worm and roll it down to where you want it. You can hook it either way.
One of my best days fishing this year I got lazy and wacky rigged a senko on a 3/0 EWG with a 1/4 bullet weight on it. I felt like a fool on the first cast, but after the 4th big one I felt like a champ. Thanks for the video definitely 2 or 3 ways I would never have thought of.
You two put on a great video . The little things to do to present the Senko are awesome. Tim Little a Spotted Bass World record holder and Matt Allen all around knowledge. Its great to get some of your secrets on you tube. Keep these videos coming.
Senkos work like no other bait, and these guys have ways to rig that are like no others..a jig? I like it and can't wait to try it on our unsuspecting bass here in az!
I have used all those techniques but one! Senko on a jig? Never heard of that! Thanks and I will definitely give it a try guys next time I am on a jig bite!👊
You guys are the greatest! I can't wait to get out on the water and try these. How come there are not many video's on how to fish a heavily fished body of water and what to look for and where to look on that new body of water you never fished before but many people have?
WOW!! Amazing rigging tips!! definitely taking these tips to the water next time....especially for my 14 yr old son who lives by the senko....smh...lol....thanks guys!
Imma have to try that wacky rig jig going into late fall and winter just let her soak and every so often bounce her off the bottom. Thanks for the tips and ideas
My favarite jig for small mouth were im from i use a 1/8 oz white marabou jig with a white 4 inch trout worm wackey style ive caught a 16 inch small mouth of of it
Great Channel that I watch regularly and definitely the most informative and well presented channel I watch. Even though I am from South Africa the content is very usable. I therefore have a question. I have been fishing a new dam that by American standards would probably be a pond or small creek. The fish are generally holding on very steep chunk rock banks and bluffs. In some instances we fish shallower banks with boulder rock. The quality of the largemouth bass, they are believed to be Florida strain that were stocked many years ago, is very good considering we are quite far south with a moderate climate. Lately we have seen that the bass are very partial to a Senko but we are in a drought so the water is currently relatively clean. During summer rains the visibility can drop to and remain at around 6 inches. What would you do to a Senko style bait for the fish to find it in muddy water?
Great tips! Just subbed. December will be here in less than a week and I am in Northeast Georgia.....fishing on Lake Hartwell, boat less so fishing from the shore....any vids fishing from shore during the cold months?
Have either of you guys ever tryed used the weighted stick bait hooks that they make. I don't know the exact name brand on them. I found them at Walmart and I use them a lot for Texas Riging on stick baits and crawls. It's just something different that I've never seen a video on and didn't know what your input was about them. Just curious to know your thoughts on them if you've ever use them.
How does the 5" yum yum compare with a senko? Great video. Just to let you know I also thread a 5" yum yum up the line. I did find it helps the bait to fall flatter and puts the hook further back on the bait. It also give the bait longevity. Thanks Henry Schmidt
A way you guys may not have thought of. Use a large eyed plastic needle and punch a peice of skirting material threw the sanko. That really make a sanko sink slow.
If you want a cigar bait, and a slower fall rate, the YUM Dingers fall at a ridiculously slow rate... I like them more for a texas rig in lakes, but if im in rivers i have to use a senko for the quicker fall rate.
I love to put them on a shaky head then cut the tail in four sections like you guys did in the start of the video. Shaky head keeps that cut tail up and the fish smash it here in New England.
My guess is they upload them after their work day, depending on the size of the file it could take them hours to up load it plus, uploading when your sleeping means your not ruining your houses internet connection when people want to use it. I would bet they have more money in go pros than pc hardware so editing and exporting is going to take a while. So it finishes the upload early am est. Then had to go through UA-cam's transcode, which takes a few hours and they have it set to be viewable after the full transcode and all resolutions are available. Thus you get an early east coast video.
Ok so I took a good friend to a secret pond that is large enough to float tube around in about 4 or 5 hours. I'm not kidding it's untouched wilderness I've never seen anyone fish because it is so hard to find and only accessible by tube. I literally cut a new path again this year to get to it. I cought 7 bass and 8 Black Crappie on a 4" Lizard. He cought 12 bass on a Senko. There's a small sister pond next to it closed off by about 15yards of brush and trees. We hit that in a full circle in 30 minutes. For the first time in my life I will buy Senkos and try to use what I think is best. Some type of green with a lime laminate or watermelon red with a dipped chartreuse tail like my lizards. Should be a killer.
I have another trick that I use. I have a Eagle claw weedless wire hook, or a circle weedless hook and hook them like the saddle in the middle. These hooks just goes everywhere!
My new favorite stick bait, and the equal to the senko based on my bite ratio, is the Berkley Powerbait MaxScent "General." About the same price as the GYB senko... just another flavor in the fish's mouth.

Marcus Long definitely one of the best bass channels out.
Marcus Long because its mostly west coast tactics
Haters gonna hate... but on pressured waters and with pressured fish or just sometimes finicky fish, a slightly different presentation is key. Try this stuff out before you bash these guys. People kill me. Matt and Tim, great video.
Pressured lakes suck.... Best way to get them is a reaction bite, and nothing triggers that better than "What the fuck is this?"

I love the "line shy" technique and use it almost all the time. Thanks for the other tips as usual.

Nothing would make my day like watching a video of you guys catching a fish on the jig-rigged senko. As always, great content.

What makes no sence to you makes no cents to me. Go coutch you some more.
Nice one. Lol. Got the bassx today and cant wait to have some fun with it.
Matt, if you could keep this channel going forever that'd be great.

AWESOME! Great twists on one of my favorite baits! Every video you guys make is full of good fishing info! Keeps me coming back!
You guys are becoming my go to channel for bass fishing tips👍. Keep up the great content.

Thanks so much Brian!
BAM!!! You guys kicked it up another notch.
My mind is actually blown...had no idea there were so many ways 🤙🏽
Senkos work like no other bait, and these guys have ways to rig that are like no others..a jig? I like it and can't wait to try it on our unsuspecting bass here in az!
I hate to admit it but I've never fished a senko but after this video I think I need to start fishing one. Great video guys keep up the good work.
Ty Ellis you are definitely missing out! Awesome bait!
Ty Ellis grab a couple packs. You won't be disappointed man.
I have used all those techniques but one! Senko on a jig? Never heard of that! Thanks and I will definitely give it a try guys next time I am on a jig bite!👊

Thanks for the tips. Great help for us newbies. And u have a new sub
Great tips! Just subbed. December will be here in less than a week and I am in Northeast Georgia.....fishing on Lake Hartwell, boat less so fishing from the shore....any vids fishing from shore during the cold months?

Awesome! Thanks guys!

just earned yourself a new sub
Guys great video like always ! But if u put a jig on a senko I'm not a scientist but the extra weight would make your senko fall faster?
Great video thanks!!
What time do you get up to upload these videos? It was 3:30PST when this was on my feed. Jesus.
right?! I'm in Florida and these vids are up at 7am like daily
My guess is they upload them after their work day, depending on the size of the file it could take them hours to up load it plus, uploading when your sleeping means your not ruining your houses internet connection when people want to use it.

Can you do a video on fishing the delta at low tide.
thank you- great ideas!
I have another trick that I use. I have a Eagle claw weedless wire hook, or a circle weedless hook and hook them like the saddle in the middle. These hooks just goes everywhere!
Good stuff guys!!!
"I don't know. It turns the hook the other way!" That's good shit. Lmao.
Great info!
Great tips. Quick question have yall been using the new released larger kitechs? If so what ways? 7.8 on swimjig, the heads Matt created, ect?
After seeing that wacky rig on a jig and you saying it works I wonder if a wacky rigged senko would work on the back of a Chatter bait? 🤔
Tim Myers I will try this one day lol
I think that would mess with the action that's alot of drag
Tyler Murphree - Just a different look when the jig doesn't seem to be happening. Some folks can't put a jig down.
Nah, it'd just add more drag.
The wacky rig jig alright Matt and Tim have been in the sun to long
Good tips. Ty
First!! Happy Friday! Another nice lunch break for me. :-)
Question for you guys, what if you add a screw lock style spinner blade in red color to imitate a bleeding fish?
silver would probably be more effective, because of the flash.
you should make a DVD collection with all your tips.
What size nail weight do you use?
Thanks for vids guys.
What bait boxes do you guys use in the video? The one at the beginning of the video with all the senkos in it?
Great video, but where's the next one? You know, the one w/ all the mods in action under water???
My new favorite stick bait, and the equal to the senko based on my bite ratio, is the Berkley Powerbait MaxScent "General." About the same price as the GYB senko... just another flavor in the fish's mouth.
On the weighted nail senko.. Should the hook be pointed toward the non- weighted side?
