The ABC's of fishing the Senko, worlds number one bass lure! 

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.

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

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!

You can also use white finishing nails as weight for wacky rigs

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 RU-vid videos now are just so great and help me alot. Thanks a bunch Roland!

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.

Ric Flair of fishing, thank you sir!

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.

Happy 80th birthday Roland, we love you🎂

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.

Let’s get Roland to a million viewers. I love this man. He makes the sport so fun and interesting!

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

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!

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.

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.

You can see Scott has that passion just like his dad.

I always come back to this video when I need a reminder of texas rig technique. Granted, I fish in Northeast US not Florida, but there is no one better to learn from when it comes to senko fishing, period.

I had to watch Roland put the lure on a bunch of times until I finally got it right. He's a great teacher

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.

one of the best teachers out there. i am learning a lot . thanks

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!

Had one of your VHS tapes growing up. Basically wore that thing out.

You're going strong Roland, happy to see, but not surprised. Just getting into the chatterbait myself, I'm Billy the Brick's good friend who took out your camera man when you did one of your shows at Kings Island, CT River where you won the BP 100 Sept., 1994 !!! We never get tired of hearing from you - keep on teaching and we'll keep on learning!

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!!

Powerful encouragment, Bass passion and beyond normal. Thanks Roland! 🙌

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!!!!

Fished with you twice During B.A.S.S. Rayburn and St Johns, we had a great time together. Best to you Roland, your the greatest! Jim Kirkpatrick

no way you're 80 years old... Looking good Roland and this is a testimony to always staying busy and being able to make a living by doing what you love.

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!

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!

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.

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 :)

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 🤘😎

Just bought the 5” green pumpkin color one yesterday.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BUDDY.. I HOPE I CAN STILL BE ENJOYING FISHING THIS MUCH WHEN I AM 81 ! ! !

I tell you Son, these are the most entertaining and informative fishing videos on here... Thanks Roland :-)

Thank you for making my Sunday afternoon better brother keep them Coming

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.

Roland, I'm retired now and man oh man son, I wish you were my fishing buddy. You are a hoot brother!

Small fish is better than no fish IMO. Great video sir, thank you!!

80! WOW!!! Happy belated Birthday to you!!! Looking great!!! Be well. Be safe. Be blessed!

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

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.

I love when you do senko videos, best bass lure ever, impatient guys dont like them but I love them.

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.

You da man Roland. Thanks for the years of teaching and entertainment. God Bless

Love you Roland you've inspired me for years I even bought a Rolex to fish with like you have ......sooooooon

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.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR GETTING ME GOING ON OUR STYLE OF FISHING. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

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 !

Thank you Roland.... helps take the mind off the current events

I used to watch this guy when I was a kid!!😄

Strong fishing genes in the Roland family and just good people. My very first bass ever caught was on a 5” Senko ;)

I grew up watching this guy! SON! Good to see hes still getting it

Love your videos, thanks for all the good information you are putting out there. I am learning a lot.

i just don't understand, you make it look so easy, i just spent four hours with a senko ands can't even get a single bite. you just have the magic touch. much respect!!!

Always a pleasure to watch you fish. Over the years you have created so many bass anglers. Thank You!!

You have found the key to life. Happy birthday buddy.

Great vid! Man I wish I could go fishing with you. You have always been my favorite pro!

Hands down, one of the most consistent ways to get bit!

Rolland = Living Legend !!

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,

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.

Big contract with Gary...no wonder you fish with the senko and promote it alot....well guess what ...the proof is in the pudding mr. Martin the senkos are in fact the best worm on the planet, nothing can out beat them in a long run🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾. .. P.S please make more senko videos, we love them so much ok it's so awesome how u educate on them and how you fish them

Thank you for posting every week what's happening Roland it's some important information. 😉✌🏼🎣

I love Mr. Martin. Thank you for all you have given us with fishing. You are a great man and I cherish everything you say.

Watched your video and went out and caught my first bass on an artificial worm. I waited a little too long to hook him. I ended up gut-hooking him, but I was able to remove the hook through his gills without ripping him. Thanks for the info!

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!

Senko always catches!

Love this man I could watch him wiggle his worm all day lol. Happy birthday Roland!!

Youre the best roland. I could watch your videos all day.Keep them coming

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.

Best fishing education in the Universe!

Keep on Fishin. Legend!!! The Mr. Martin.

Roland, I just found your channel and I have to say I am hooked. This is the 2nd video I have watched. The first one was your 3 best braid knots. Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching more. Thanks so much!

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

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!

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!

Roland, Amazing info as usual. You are a LEGEND and an inspiration! Thank you

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.

Senkos are awesome. My friend Dawn caught a monster of a bass this morning using a red flake root beer 5 inch Senko. It was her first fish.

Another great video by the pro

Thanks for the tips Roland....love some wacky rig...

I really enjoy your videos! I would like to see more on what size o rings you use on the wacky worms and more detail on rigging it on the worm.

You make fishing easy! Salute!
