- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- I demonstrate the 4 main ways of fishing the senko. These are the Texas rig, the wacky rig, flipping and pitching heavy cover and the Carolina rig for deeper water. I catch plenty of bass but the purpose of today's video is to explain each method!
I just love how this guys caught more fish than most of us have seen in our entire lives and he’s still exited for a 3 pounder passion
Ric Flair of fishing, thank you sir!
Wooooo! Son!

Literally
Happy 80th birthday Roland, we love you🎂
amazing. he looks like he's in his forties. still hammering the bass too!
No way in the world I would have ever thought that man was 80!!
He isn’t 80!!?!?!?
@@Blackhawk556. yes he is he turned 80 years old March 14th 2020..
Wow SON! Looking soo sonny young. Can imagine you doing this at 95. Have to imagine that cause you might out live me. Lol Happy Birthday Roland!
How does Roland only have 117k subscribers, that is nuts to me. Been watching you forever sir. Thank you for all the great fishing over the years!
Just bought the 5” green pumpkin color one yesterday.
Same haha
Honestly, Roland...25+ years of watching your stuff (I started watching you, Bill and Jimmy on TNN when I was a wee one back in the early 90s) and still, not many guys do it better than you when it comes to straightforward, “here’s how you do it” bass fishing advice...which is CRAZY because there are hundreds of “options” nowadays. You, Tactical and Nature of Fishing...that’s my big three.
I fish today from watching these legends back in the 80’s. I’m 49 now.. Thanks guys!!!
Same here. Remember watching his video on Rapala fishing and learning all kinds of stuff I didn't know despite having been fishing them for years. Roland covers everything.
If I go to a fishing show and see a guy in a nascar-looking shirt, I'm out.
Nose hook with a circle hook. When they hit, and they will, just start reeling and the hook sets itself. Really good action that way too. Great way to start younger fisherman who always seem to have trouble on the hook set.
johnny riley Another bonus of doing it that way with children is if they don’t set it quick enough and they swallow the hook it is less likely to gut hook and kill the fish.
What a great teacher and instructor! He lives his passion every day. This guy alone will make you a better bass fisherman in no time flat.
Thank you Roland.... helps take the mind off the current events
Let’s get Roland to a million viewers. I love this man. He makes the sport so fun and interesting!
Wish I could post a pic of the 5lber I pulled out of a pond after learning to senko fish and baitcast from your videos. Day 1 I pulled out 2 nice sized and 1 hog!
The fact that you save the tore up Senko's and put them in a mold and re use them says a lot about the conservation person you are. Especially when you can get any tackle you want for free!! Much respect already for you but that added more! Great man! Thank you for all of your videos!
I respect that too. You’d be amazed at how much shit people leave behind around here.
I know what you mean I don’t understand people throwing there bottles and what ever they brought with them no respect for the land it’s a shame
Mike Baker Went to one of my lifetime public fishing spots today to find it shut down with No Trespassing signs. Best I can figure is it’s because of the litter. People have been trashing it for a long time.
I love how he says “that’s how it’s done son!” Haha so much confidence it’s awesome and the fact he’s saying it mostly to a bunch of grown men maybe it more funny.
You can also use white finishing nails as weight for wacky rigs
It's good to see Top Professional lose fish every once in awhile. I Just need to remember this nexttime and laugh it off and not get upset... Thank you for all the Great videos!!!!
Lost a big one Monday like that and just about cried. I feel better now. 😊
Just lost a hawg yesterday and I hope to get another one like him took drag and was reeling in bam he was gone. Glad I'm not the only one who has had that happen to.
I caught 6 bass today and lost about as many lol. For me it’s just part of the fun.
What I like to remember is that we still convinced that fish to bite the lure. Beats skunking
lost a 5lb plus tonight right at the bank :,( woulda been my PR
first cast , fish on lol what a legend. .... and as many times as I've heard someone tell how to rig a texas senko, I found myself just listening to this guy. His videos are simple, basic, and HONEST! Could watch this guy all day
I tell you Son, these are the most entertaining and informative fishing videos on here... Thanks Roland :-)
Rolland = Living Legend !!
Roland you have been one of my favorites since I was a kid watching your show every Saturday or Sunday morning and now on youtube. To this day still my favorite episode is the one where you came up here to Minnesota and fished lake Calhoun. Thanks for the fun videos.
That was with the late Ted Capra
@@RolandMartinOutdoors yes and you guys caught some donkeys that day!
Had one of your VHS tapes growing up. Basically wore that thing out.
Same Here!
I used to jump in front of the tv to catch roland martin outdoors every saturday as kid. I learned a helluva lot from this man thanks mr martin.
Powerful encouragment, Bass passion and beyond normal. Thanks Roland! 🙌
Keep on Fishin. Legend!!! The Mr. Martin.
Love watching your videos Roland! I just started using the senko myself as I’ve never really had any confidence in throwing a worm with no weight. But as you demonstrated, the senko DEFINITELY works in a variety of situations and I’m beginning to use it more and more, especially “wacky rigged” w/ no weight! Thank you for all the information you provide us sir!
Remember watching Roland, Bill Dance and Babe Winkleman with my father in the 80s, what great memories. To think the man is now 80 and still going strong.
I grew up watching Roland Martin along with Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston on TNN on Saturday mornings and still I can't get enough of Roland Martin,he's always been my favorite and the TH-cam videos now are just so great and help me alot. Thanks a bunch Roland!
3:19
It pissess me so much to see him get a bite seconds after he just cast when I can't even get a a single bite after a couple of hours.
Can you fish a senkos in saltwater around docks?
Senko always catches!
Happy Birthday,I fish the Connecticut Beaver Dams/ponds ,i hope you come back to Ct in 2021 so I can meet you ,your like a dad to many sons,
Love this man I could watch him wiggle his worm all day lol. Happy birthday Roland!!
Thank you mr Martin!!! You go so in depth on how to fish a senko! I've been waiting to learn about this. I've watched you for years and I aspire to be a great one like you!
Legend!
80! WOW!!! Happy belated Birthday to you!!! Looking great!!!
Be well. Be safe. Be blessed!
Exactly why I don’t use ewg hooks anymore. Lose too many fish with them.
I’m sure you’re aware but snell knots help bury the hook into the roof of their mouth on a good portion of the hook sets. I still lose some but not as many as I used to on some other types of knots.
Thanks for the great video Roland.I recently got back into fishing after 40 years of being away,and boy am I glad Im back.I appreciate your tips and advice. Im fishing alot from my fishing kayak and I just love it.Thank you sir!
Thank you for posting every week what's happening Roland it's some important information. 😉✌🏼🎣
You have found the key to life. Happy birthday buddy.
I dont why he got off, he just got off. LOL. quit bullshitting with us on you tube and pay attention. just playing, you the man
Thank you for ALL the content you’ve put out there for us Mr. Martin 🙏 I learn something new every time I watch your posts! Fish On Brother 🤘😎
I really enjoyed the teaching aspect of the sport!
Son!
So is there anythng in nature like that worm??!1 I have always wondered why they are so drawn to it when there is nothing like it in their habitat
You can be quite accurate with a spinning too and there are spinnings that are offering line weight up to 20 and even 30 lbs and up to 2 oz lure. I guess it mostly depends on what you used for and personal preferences. Here in Scandinavia it's probably about 80% spinnings, 15% fly fishing and 5% casting. I don't know why those models are not reaching USA, but here we have spinnings that are capable to tow a carp of 60 lbs to the bank:-) All the best!
I remember senkos really hit the scene in early 2000s. I'm not very old just been fishing a long while. Senkos where what taught me confidence in bass fishing. It's crazy because before senkos I was not confident in anything. From there it gave the confidence to fish with all soft plastics, jigs etc. Senkos are so effective.
Thank you Roland for taking the time to teach us your methods of fishing, you show the how and why you do things. Many people just show catching fishing, I am new to fresh water fishing and this channel is going to be a great help once things get warm enough up here in Connecticut. Keep them rolling SON !
Roland your awesome man. You explain everything no secrets and your videos have been making me a better fisherman. Much appreciated keep making more videos
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really enjoy your videos. very entertaining, I love how you are just as excited as I get and you've caught hundreds if not thousands more than I have or probably ever will. Happy belated birthday.
I really appreciate you making these videos :). I've spent all my life trolling for trout/walleye and have no idea on how to properly bass fish. With your tips I was able to land a 4lb 9oz bass on my first trip. PLEASE continue to make videos on tips and tricks it's really helpful to beginners like me and I also really enjoy the content you produce as well. Thank you and good fishing :)
Roland threw a Sinko into the hot tub at the local Motel....caught a 7 pounder....SON!!!!!!!
It wasn't that big!
TV scales
Thanks for the tips Roland....love some wacky rig...
Great vid! Man I wish I could go fishing with you. You have always been my favorite pro!
For some reason, I don't think Roland really needs to melt down old senkos to make new ones. I'm pretty sure Gary Yamamoto gives him anything he wants on the house.
Roland thank you for Sharing. Sorry I didn't get to see you at the Classic, but it was just crazy busy trying to make the rounds... I did see many of your fishing anglers from back in the day though. It was amazing to be there and see history celebrating a 50th Anniversary mile stone.
Happy birthday Roland i love you i keep watching your videos and i learn alot of stuff form your videos and i wish i had one of your baitcaster because i recently bought one really cheap one
Roland, Amazing info as usual. You are a LEGEND and an inspiration! Thank you
Cameraman didn’t zoom in so we could see how the Senko was rigged.👎. Not watching Roland’s videos anymore- cameraman sucks.
Low budget, sorry!
That crane is makin' quick work in the background...
God bless you and thank u for all the Years of tips.
The smaller one's look like what I've been catching in a private lake the week from the bank.
Hey Roland, I just wanted to say thank you for explaining this stuff to us. I went out yesterday with some senkos and followed your instructions. I caught 3 big bass. I appreciate you.
Great tutorial, Roland! Love your shows! I was first introduced to the effectiveness of the Senko, when my first-time-fishing friend bought a pack. I told him "no way are you going to catch a fish with that!" and thought he got suckered by the Bass Pro Shop employee into buying it. When he dropped the Senko straight down beside the dock and didn't concentrate on what he was doing, he got a hit and pulled up a 3lb bass! Still not convinced, I put one of his Senkos onto my line, was impressed with the weight of lure, cast it to the other-side of the channel, and bang, a 4lb bass hit it. Ever since that experience, I've been sold on the Senko and it's my number one go-to bait.
BTW: You were using a weightless Texas Rig on your first setup of the Senko; and what you were doing with the heavy tackle and weighted Texas Rig is called "Punching" heavy cover, at least here in the California Delta. Keep On Fishing!
Roland, what type of knot do you use to tie your Fluoro leader to braid? I tried a double uni with 15 pound Fluoro to 45 pound braid on my combo (St. Croix medium heavy, Abu Garcia Revo SX), and about 1 in 5 casts that knot will snag a guide, and backlash the reel. The double uni works great on my spinner, which has larger guides. It was so much of a pain, i went to straight Fluorocarbon. Are you tying with a blood knot?
You can't cast any leader knot through rod with micro guides! You must use a rod with larger guides!
Suuhhnnnn! Connecticut to California, baby!
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR GETTING ME GOING ON OUR STYLE OF FISHING. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
I grew up watching this guy! SON! Good to see hes still getting it
Can we get a woo-son now and then. I have enjoyed watching your shows through the years . We can all tell you really love this just like us.
Enjoyed it.Roland is a hammer from way back.He can still catch"em.Hope to see ya one day down there in your part of the country.
That’s all my dad catches fish on
Happy birthday Roland, been watching you fish for a long time.
Gotta use a straight shank hook! Ratio of the loaded fishes will increase by 10+%
I know just where to try the skipping technique.
Trophy 🏆 to some people 🤣🤣🤣
Happy birthday 🎂 keep having fun fishing 🇺🇸🍀
Next time I'm in South Florida please take me with u
He's like "who cares" when he catches a 4lber by accident, and then later... "I melt down my senkos and use mold for reconstituting em" love it, straight up hardcore lifelong bassin' man right there 💯 he probably doesn't pay for em anyway 😅😅🤣
I catch Bass on Senko lures all day on the upper Delaware River. They are inexpensive and easy to rig up. Nothing compares. However I never catch the big ones. Might be my technique but as for the validity of the Senko, it's for real. I highly recommend.
Can you fish a sinko in saltwater for speckled trout.
Yes
Strong fishing genes in the Roland family and just good people. My very first bass ever caught was on a 5” Senko ;)
A long, long time ago; perhaps in Nashville or near Lake Lanier 25 years ago, I was looking over a local lure rack when I heard a very familiar voice behind me. I turned around to confirm what I thought and sure enough there was Roland Martin. "What are they bitin on?" he asked. "What color?" I did my best to stammer out a "professional" response but I don't think I was very convincing. We had a few words and he went on. I don't remember the details now but I'll never forget the voice or the moment. Thanks Roland.
Hey Roland, I grew up fishing catfish but have gotten into bass fishing more the last couple of years. I have some luck every now and then but I either bank fish or fish from my kayak. There are a lot of times that I spend hours on the water without a single bite. What tips can you give me that I'm doing wrong? I try to do a lot of research and mix it up, but often times, nothing. Thanks!
5 inch green pumpkin senko on a TX rig and wacky is my go to here in East Texas. #4 hook on 50 lb braid and I don't fool with leaders. I have found it makes zero difference. I have caught more bass that way than any of my other lures combined. My #2 is a Berkley Choppo which I like better than the Whopper Plopper. I think the Choppo has a better sound and is more durable.
Never heard of the senko.no one has heard of them here in ohio.what are they?
The worlds #1 selling plastic worm, bar none!
Hey Roland really enjoy your show.
Thank you for all of this information and actually showing us you fishing it. It really helps to see it being fished rather than just talking about how to fish it.
No matter how many fish you catch it's always like the first time
Great video , i learned a lot !
Thank you Roland
Thank you Roland for more great pro tips! Nothing replaces years of experience and a great teacher like you! That's what I'm talking about Son!!
Ambush points? I'll have to try that!
Does anyone remember Roland outfoxing an army of pro-bassers using a boat loaded with a jet outboard instead of a prop? He was able to pull into shallow drafts where the smallies were staging. He pulled so many fish they accused him of cheating.
Thank you sir for this. I'm trying get my grandpa his first bass.
Couldn't see you pull them out of the bushes because your cameraman just shows you and not where you drop the senko.
Dang I put in 6 hours of fishing the other day with a frog and a senko and never got a bite.
Relatable
Thank you for making my Sunday afternoon better brother keep them Coming
He lost the fish due to braid? At least that’s my understanding
Great! Thanks
how long is your leader?
Happy belated birthday but anyways I don't know if I'll get a response but I grew up watching you and I've learned a lot threw out the years...
Roland still jaw hookin’ em, son!
BABAAM!! Awesome video sir! I appreciate you and you sharing your knowledge!!
Roland is sold on the EWG but Scott says the TK130 is the deal.
I'm with Roland
Roland another great video, and you cracked me up when that 4lber jumped off. I guide full time saltwater for big snooks and reds I tell my clients all the time while snook fishing with my secret snook bait to keep tip high and slowly pick it up and “be a line watcher” cause when they hit you just see a quick jolt, sometimes I have guys that used to be or are bass guys and I tell them “fish it like a senko”. And “be a line watcher” And they all know what exactly what I’m talking about. Love it Roland. Happy bday, still waiting on you to get up here and catch some of these studs
