acabtp - I heard about how they get torn up whacky rigging too... One way to avoid that is to use small rubber bands... You thread the small rubber band half way up the Senko and and slide your hook under the rubber band instead of hooking it in the senko.

Gerry - Instead of the rubber band you can also pick up some plastic tubing at Home Depot (clear kind sold by the foot) and cut it into small rings. Slide them into the middle of the Senko and slip the hook between the ring and bait. There are sizes that fit perfectly around the Senkos. I cannot rememeber the diameter so just bring one with you and test it. The plastic lasts a long time and it allows the bait to slide up the line when fighting the fish.

Tubes on jig heads slowly dragged across the bottom work great too...a little old school but they just work. Insert the jig head into the tube and pop the line tie through the tube.

Good luck.
