I still do this when necessary, as do others. We call it pegging the worm. Not needed for Senkos, though, as they're heavy enough to cast but neutrally buoyant enough to fool fish. Definitely my go-to lure when I want to put meat in the boat while culling LMB.


If I'm culling LMB, my go to lure is a 1/32 oz jig rigged with a 4 inch power worm. Junebug, motor oil and red shad colors work really well. The slow fall is hard for bass to resist. Giant BG like it, too.

Downside: It's an ultralight lure requiring ultralight rod & line. Not so great in areas with heavy weeds or wood.
