Wacky rigging a senko is a good tactic, but I tend to like the classic Zoom
u-tail worms texas rigged on a worm hook for wacky rigging. Color selected
based on water color and depth.

Clear Water
Shallow
Watermelon seed
Deeper
Watermelon red or candy (if available)

Stained water
Shallow
Red / Red Shad type colors
Deeper
Blues, black, purples

The Zoom u-tails ripple in the water with the slightest of motions. Makes
for a good dead stick weightless bait in the 10" sizes too. I'll switch to
Culprit if fishing fast though. The Culprit seems to have a better action
and springs back more when fished fast. Actually I have used the Culprit
worms with good success drop shotting too.

Another thing to bear in mind. If dropshotting moderately shallow 2'-12'
rock piles. Try changing up between a light texas rig (or ball jig) and a
drop shot rig with the same or similar baits. Start with a 1/16th oz and
adjust as necessary for depth and wind. You can nearly double your catch
that way. Yes you will loose a few t-rigs in the rocks, but then you are
targeting both fish that are looking at swimming bait and fish that are
trying to snatch up unwary crawling baits. Often you will find one or the
other is working better, but try both.
