Another great video. Keep up the good work. Thanks

 

I agree with you on the durability! I've tried the smalI o rings and even the wacky saddles. It makes no difference. They don't last. My buddy bought a package and they were already cut in the middle. On the other side I have used Yum Dingers and I noticed the Senko still gets more fish!
Love your video. I've done a lot of fishing at pymatuning; but usually stick with the awesome pan fishing!

 

If the senko's were more durable, then they would be less attractive to the fish- I trust they have tried different formulations and what they have is the best for catching fish, with durability being a very distant concern.

What I have noticed with anything from Yamamoto, is the fact that bass tend to hold on longer and mouth the bait much more readily than the other brands, and this is the main reason I use them- once bass pick them up, they don't want to let go!

 

Senkos don't last, that is for sure. But man is there a better, more idiot proof worm ever made? I mean you really can't fish it wrong. They catch numbers and hogs. Revolutionized bass fishing IMO. Whenever I have a newbie fishing with me, they get the weightless Texas rigged senko, perfect bait for beginners. One trick I have learned, when they get worn down, just take a half inch off the head end and re-rig. It changes the hook position to unused portions of the plastic. My 5 inchers become 4, then 3 before I'm finished with them. The fish still bite them. The worst is when the flip off after one fish, but hey as far as catching fish even though they are expensive I've spent worse money on other stuff no doubt!

 

Cool video, but u didn't say what kind of rod,reel and line u were using.

I agree, and I try to do that with mine as well if they are salvageable. Sometimes they are too torn for that too. I am going to looks for some alternatives and see if I can't find one that works close to as well.

 

I've tried them all. They all work, but none as well as the Yamamoto.

I usually don't because we aren't using great equipment, but I will start! The rod is a Bass Pro Shops Crankin stick. Medium Heavy extra fast action. The reel is a cheap bait caster from walmart, and I was using 30lb braid with a 12lb mono leader.

 

What color senko were you using

 

where is that Break wall in the 4lb bass after work video?what part of erie?

 

Cool video!

 

Thanks for the video. Nice to see instructions posted

That was out of Ashtabula. It was at the end of the east break wall.

 

Thanks for the video. Nice to see instructions posted

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!

 

What color senko were you using

That was green pumpkin with red flake.

 

Id love to watch it.....i tried tthem in past with no luck...maybe i dont have enough patience....

 

I swear I saw your friend using a spinning rod with a baitcaster. Lol ... I've done it before... to much backlash for me.

haha, you saw right! He broke his casting rod, and we don't have a ton of equipment. You are right he backlashes like crazy with that thing!

 

For starters, thanks for posting another excellent video.

Yes....I do tear through Senkos more than other worms......but I don't complain b/c that simply means they're working. IMHO, they are far and away the best plastic worm out there. There are also the only worm that I've had bass actually hold on to all the way to the boat before letting go.....when they "bit" below my hook.

On a different note, do you mind if I ask what boat make and model you were in when filming some of your Lake Erie Walleye trips? The boat has a swim platform on the back and is obviously different than your inland bass boat...which I think is Lund???

Thanks again!

 

To save yourself some baits hold a lighter just far enough away from the bait so it melts without torching it and it'll fish like new. You can also get some more use out them by using spent Texposed rigged baits by putting them in a separate bag for wacky rigging

And another really great tip is to take the ends of the bait and give them a good twist. This consolidates the salt and gives the bait a slower fall

Can't argue with you on the first point, they do seem to out perform anything I have ever fished, and I guess as long as they are catching fish they are doing their job!

Our walleye boat is a Monark King 195 aluminum. It is fitted with a 90HP and 9.9 kicker. It didn't come with the swim platform but we put one on for cases of swimming (or jumping in after walleye). You are right the inland boat is a Lund 16'3" (can't remember the model, but I think it is a Classic SS).

Glad you liked the videos and thanks for the response!

 

Your boat was impressive for several reasons: 1) You caught a lot of fish! 2) Your group didn't seem to be too crowded on the boat. 3) The "chop" didn't seem to phase your crew or your boat.....except for the youngling.

How does your Lund do on Erie? It seems totally functional in some of your videos where you're fishing the breakwall on relatively calm evenings/days.

BTW: your video of the bald eagles is VERY cool. Sometimes, the best part of fishing is just being on the water and enjoying the serenity and the scenery.

Thanks, it really is a good size and is still light enough to trailer and get decent gas mileage. We can get thrown around a little, but for the most part it holds its own. My favorite feature is the fold up bench seat, we can use that to lean on when netting in rough water and not worry about falling out!

The Lund does well too, we used it on Erie for a few years, but we couldn't go out in anything more then 2-3 footers just for comfort sake. It is a great boat for bass fishing and worked well for use when walleye fishing too. Amazing the difference 3 feet makes in a boat though!

I am glad you were able to check out some of the other videos we have on the channel! I agree sometimes it isn't the catching fish that is the best part, but just enjoying being out on the water (or in the woods)! It has always served as my escape!
