I rig my senkos on medium action baitcasting rod, 10# test with a reel with a 5.3:1 gear ratio. Both t-rigged and wacky. You can use a spinning rod as well but that's another topic.
When fishing wacky rigged senkos I will take a rubber o-ring that fits snug on the senko and roll it to the middle of it. (I use Gamakatsu G-lock hooks but there other hooks you can use.) Instead of hooking the senko, slide the hook in between the o-ring and the senko. This will save you $, I guarantee it. Senkos can tear easily wacky rigged. I like fishing the wacky rig when they are picky, I will let it sink around 5-10' near brush or a tree and then shake it upwards 3-4' and let it free fall watching my slack. Typically, they hit it on the drop.
