Rob, which of those techniques helped you catch that 4 pounder at Coyote? :P I have to admit that I've caught several senko fish while pulling out small backlashes. The less action you put on them the better they work. It does feel like cheating sometimes cause they work so damn well. The one bad thing about senkos is that bass swallow them so deep that it's pretty easy to gut-hook the fish if you aren't watching your line closely.
