Not all of us just fish for bass. You surf fish the rocks of the ocean and
you may not be able to fund your IRA after buying all those expensive
weights. Lots of my bass fishing, is with weightless Senkos and if I add
weight I use a small nail. Still pretty cheap for the weight. Wish I could
say the same for the Senko.- Hide quoted text -

Bass Pro Shops has a clone of Senko that I like even better. Not that
I use them all of the time, but.....
Again, if you want to go surf fishing with sparkplugs, have at it!

Not bass, but when I was at St Pete Beach a couple months ago there
was German kid, about 8 years old, who hooked a maybe 4 foot tarpon at
the beach.
He had one of those dimestore Zebco rigs, and my wife and
his family walked about 200 yards down the beach trying to land it.
His dad looked exactly like Adolph Hitler, but no mustache.
The fish never ran out, but down the beach in a couple feet of water,
very light surf. I kept my mouth shut, as the kid was doing a good
job on the drag with Adolph's instructions. The fish finally lost the
hook, but the kid - and me - had a good experience to remember.
Luckily there were few swimmers, and they were deeper than where
the fish was running.
I think the kid said he was using a spark plug as weight, but my
German isn't too good.

If he was yelling, "Meine Zündkerze springt auf dem Boden!" then he was
saying, "My spark plug is bouncing off the bottom!" With a four-foot tarpon
trying to escape, it sounds like something the kid may have said.
