Bergen - I mostly fish the 6" T Rigged with no weight. If it's weedy and I don't get anything weightless I'll use up to a 1/2 oz bullet pegged. I rarely fish any of the sizes whacky unless I'm not around weeds....and I'm usually in or around the weeds. On a 7' Med-Hvy Rod I seem to be able to throw those 7" guys a lot farther...even when I don't want to...they weigh a ton.
1. I used 10" power worms also. They are quite skinny compared to 7" senko.
2. I was using 7" senko on wacky. I should try using on T-rigged. Maybe I can cast further. Do you use 4/0 or 6/0 hook on 7" senko?

If you cut the 7" senko in half, now they look like nice fat Robusto from the Presidente size.
I guess if you double the diameter, the volume becomes 4 times the size even though you keep the length the same.
