Spotted BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSummerStructureDocksI had success flipping a wacky rig senko under and around docks. I used the Gamakatsu finesse wide gap size 2/0 hook and the VMC crossover ring (size 7mm) for my senko. I fished it weightless. Since it was sunny and no wind I had to let it sink a little deeper to get more bites.
