How does one rig up a senko or senko type?

The two most popular rigging methods are Texas rigged or Wacky rigged, both
weightless.

What are the
best colours to try with the senko or senko type bait anyhow?

I have yet to find a bad color for a Senko, but the watermelon and green
pumpkin colors will catch bass anywhere they swim. If you only pick four
colors, I would suggest watermelon, green pumpkin, black and blue pearl/silver
flake.

And I've been
told it's a 'no brainer' method of fishing, sounds good to me

The biggest mistake people make with Senko type baits os overworking them.
Yes, you can fish them fast like fluke, but they are best "deadsticked". Cast
the bait out, let it fall to the bottom on a semi-slack line...WATCH YOUR
LINE....then let it sit on the bottom..up to a minute or two in some
cases.....KEEP WATCHING YOUR LINE....then lift the bait, twitch the bait, shake
the bait, etc., let it fall back to the bottom and repeat as you feel necessary
for that cast.

I also like to Texas rig Senkos with a screw in weight for pitching into wood
or fishing down steep, deeper banks and I will throw them on a Crig or a drop
shot.

They are a very versatile bait as far as rigging.
