I like using the larger senkos (dingers, BPS, etc) weighted T-rigged on deeper structure.
Weightless I use a spinning rig (7 ft mh) spooled with 30 lb yellow braid and a 15/20 lb, 4 or 5 foot, floro leader -- this set-up works great. I'm usually fishing in and around pretty nasty cover.

no weight! Kills the natural action of the bait...

I think what I'm going to try is stepping down in line size. Currently I've been using 17 lb fluoro and will step down to 14-15 lb and see if that aids in casting. Again, thanks for the comments.

3/0 Superline hook and 15 lbs Seaguar. The fluoro and slightly heavier hook will help the bait sink without adding weight.

I fish mine with EWG work hook weightless most of the time. I also like wacky rig too. +1!!! And like previously said the slow droping "natural action" works great, especially in this summer heat. However, I have even caught a few LMB twitching it as I'll reel it back in (like a jerk bait) (weightless T rigged). Discovered this purely by accident as I caught one close to the boat that had been following it in. I also love the wackey rig, but always with the "O Ring".

Thanks for all the replies and seems to be kinda how I have been fishing them. I like to throw them weightless but seem to have a hard time casting them. What rods are you guys using? Right now i am using a 7' MH Hendrix Senko rod. Do you guys step down to a M action rod when thowing them weightless, or use a rod with a lot faster tip? Thanks for the replies. I am using a Falcon LFC-6-167 Weightless Worm, Curado 200E7, and 15# fluoro.

+2 can't fish it wrong dude, throw it out reel it just a hair to take out the slack, then let it sit while you count to 30... for real count that long then pick up slow, if heavier than it should set the hook

 I nearly always use a lead nail stuck in the tail. If the fish does'nt get it on the initial fall, I jerk it back like a fluke. With the nail in the tail, if you see a fish following the bait you can twitch it just right and it will jump back right into the fishes face.
