    I know people that don’t like Senkos. They always say they are too soft, they cost too much, and they tear up after just one fish. My response always is ,” They catch fish”.

    This was one of the first videos I watched when I got back into fishing about 2 years ago. I’ve probably caught the most fish on a senko. Many on this same combo as it was the first combo I bought. That reel is 💩, and has since been replaced, but that’s a great rod.
    Also caught my PB on the KVD senko.
    This video popped back up in my recommended and I had to comment and say thanks for helping me get back into bass fishing.

    Really great info I am trying tomorrow morning. I like the hook rear that makes the worm fall away from you and where it lands. Cool idea. I'm kinda newbie to fishing correctly. I've been fishing since I was born pretty much. Michigan born, fished the whole lower Midwestern states when I was a child. Great Dad. 😊 Anyway, got into bass fishing when I moved to Fort Collins. Had no luck with any plastics at all. I really had to learn sencos and plastics in general. I liked bottom fishing for trout because it worked. 😂 I met a few guys that showed me how to do a stick bait correctly. But you really hit home with technique and that hook location. Game changer for me. I'm pretty good now but this could be next level for my landed numbers. Thank you. 😊
