One way to make Senko's last longer is use fine wire hooks of a smaller
size. I typically use 1/0 and 2/0 hooks (Gamakatsu) and when I read
about other anglers, I'll hear 3/0 - 5/0 hook sizes being used.......

I had a day on a lake filled with dinks where I caught 30 small (6 - 9
inch bass) and 3 legal bass and I used less than 10 Senkos -- and all
were caught on Senkos.

Being gentle with your casts helps -- and as a final resort, turning
them around and t-rigging them through the thin end.


I have read about -- dont have one yet -- a small battery powered
"welder" that will melt plastics together, too.

Don't get me wrong - I love senkos. Its probably the single lure that
I have the most confidence in. And I love the wide selection of
colors available. But the fact is, I just don't have an extra $60 to
spend every time I go fishing. Lucky for me I don't catch very many
fish so a pack of senkos lasts for a couple of outings.
