Senko Rigging
Amazingly I didn't start wacky rigging because I thought it got more
bites. In some circumstances I believe it does, but that wasn't the reason. I started wacky rigging because of the number either missed or gut hooked fish. I watched senko after senko slip right out of the closed mmouth of a bass in open water where I could see them. Bizzarre. Fishing one day a couple years ago with Lannes Brock and Joe Haubenreich I got to watch it repeated. Lannes missed several bites t-rigging or t-posing a senko on a wide gap hook. I was amazed at how this guy with 50 years experience on the river kept missing fish. Finally he exhibited one of his long learned skills. Patience. He let a little bass swim around for what seemed like five minutes before finally setting the hook. He did hook it. Deep. We spent some time on that fish trying to get the hook out.

Senko Rigging
Good post, Bob.... you told a story and presented your evidence in a
convincing manner. I remember that day an those fish very well.... Of course, when one catches so few fish, the ones that were taken sort of leap out at in memory, don't they?

(bows pompously) I remember that day an those fish very well.... Of course, when one catches so few fish, the ones that were taken sort of leap out at in memory, don't they? Ouch. LOL. I think I might be able to find a few more fish next time. Of course having Lannes and I arguing about the best places to fish and splitting the difference probably didn't help any. -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com Joe --------------------- "Bob La Londe" wrote in message .. .
