I have caught several bass over the years with watermelon Senkos. Once I saw a bass on bed and for 30 minutes it would pick up and move whatever lure I offered,finally I caught and released this 6lber on a weightless Senko.If you have ever watched a weightless Senko fall it it goes back and forth in a pendulum motion very slow to the bottom.Yesterday,I wacky rigged a Senko with a gold crappie hook (for some reason all fish like gold hooks),I left it out in a rod holder just below the surface and 2 hours later I find a 2 lb bass online.I have even caught bass on cut bait,I guess like humans, fish will eat most anything when they are hungry enough. Catfish on a cigarette butt, marshmallows, and 1" chicken breast cubes mixed with dry strawberry koolaid and garlic powder seems to
always work and not as nasty as mullet gut which is my goto when available.
I once had a bet with someone that I could catch a Yellowtail on a Champagne cork. I never did because I just never tried, but have no doubt it is possible. I did carry the cork with hook in my bag for a long time :-[

I once tied a twig to a hook and got a bass to hit it. If they're hungry enough they'll hit anything. If they're kinda hungry they'll hit anything with an interesting movement to it.
I do love a good texas-rigged unweighted yama senko though, because they're not always hungry enough to hit a twig. Even with no sinker they still cast a mile, and like you say sink with great action.
'Plum with green flake" is my go to.

Do you remember what Brand of Cigarette Butt you were using .
I don't Smoke but always looking to try New things to catch fish.
Cigarettes are expensive and Habit Forming I hear and Cause all kinds of Medical Problems
but Hey If you can catch Fish :fish
8) Lucky strike >:D Yer i know what you are going to say next....
Henry it was a butt I found already field dressed. Thankfully I never got addicted to smoking just tried it as a teenager. Smoke filled rooms stop my head up, I try to avoid second hand at all costs. Joe, my granddaddy use to break the filters off Kool cigarettes smoked em' John Wayne style... you get a free iron lung after 100 packs!

If it was a Phillip Morris ya could give him a Call to Clean the Fish .
You NEVER KNOW what I am goona say Next....lol >:D >:D
sidenote: the bigger sizes of plain o-rings used w/ senkos,
are also a good size range for various smaller oil caps & screw-on handles
