you guys highly under estimate a senko whacky rig.
if you are fishin it weightless, it wobbles WAY more then the normal way to hook it. it also decreases the percentage of hooking it in the throat.
i would say that wacky rig will deafently produce more fish if presented right then the traditonal way of hooking a senko.
if it is hooked onto a jig (or used with a weight), it still has action to it. when it is sinking to the bottom, all of the energy is stored up and when it hits the bottom, it all releases and creates a big wobble that is irrestable to fish.
I watched the action with an underwater camera, whether rigged wacky style weightless or texas style, the bait shakes the same, the difference is whether there is a bow in the middle or not. Either way the ends of the senko shake and wobble slightly on the way down. I also saw the jighead used wacky style with the underwater camera....it took away SOME shake of the tips but not like I expected. The reasoning behind the jighead is that you can fish wacky style senkos a lot deeper and not have to wait 30 seconds like you would if fished weightless. I'm talking about 1/16 ounce jighead or similar weight, nothing that's gonna drown the senko. I recommend you give it a try, I was skeptical at first too. I reckon you might be able to add extra salt to a section of your homemade senkos but I haven't tried that yet, maybe somebody who's set up to make senkos could try that?
