Any comments on why or what not to use a bullet weight on a Senko? Insight on personal preference?

It’s just a different technique. You can fish faster deeper and gets through the weeds better. you just miss out on that slow sinking flutter that drives bass crazy.

I like to rig weightless when the water is colder or the bite is tough. When I want to use a weight I use a 1/16 oz bullet weight to get the action I want while still having a bit of a slower descent than you would get with a 1/8 oz or heavier weight.
Hope this helps or makes sense haha

I use a bullet weight when fishing t-rig senkos, actually use KVD Ochos, and it produces. Also weightless produces, and weightless whacky rig stick worms also produce. I will sometime put a bobber stopper to keep the weight from sliding too far. Will also sometimes put a bead between the hook and weight to give it an extra clack. Try different rigs out and see what you are confident in.

I thought TheRealLuclear had some good advice for you. I have also seen two bullet weights used with the nose pointed in opposite directions on Tokyo rigs and Terolina rigs (cross between a Texas and Carolina rig).
Good advice to try different setups. Of course, I always use a bullet rig on a Texas rig. Tight lines -

they work fine either way...If water is pretty clear & shallow you need very little if any weight...
BTW finish nails are much cheaper then the commercial seiko weights...that being said I use bullet weight a lot also....I prefer rigging wacky under most circumstances

yes, weightless wacky is fun.
