Senko Size

[buzbunni]

So, I'm ready to load up on Senko's. The question I have is: what size would cover the bases best?

I'm sure that I will choose various color options(any suggestions here?), but being a lure addict, I have confined myself to choosing only one size. What do you guy's think would be the best. 4,5,7?

Thanks

I prefer the 5" size 99% of the time, but on occasion, the 4" can produce better in clear water, at least for me.

Ya can't have just one size. I like the 7" one most of the time. Unless they are not hitting it well then I'll go smaller to the 5".

They make a 4"? Hmm, I'll have to pick some up now. Sigh, more tackle to get

Wrong post... silly me. Here is the post I originally was trying to put on here:

About senkos, I would go with the 5 incher. It's the most versatile for smallies and buckets. The only time I may downsize to a four inch is when I may be fishing in tougher conditions like cold weather, late fall & early spring, or when fish just don't seem to be wanting anything.

5 inchers will hold a bigger hook too and will help increase your catch ratios and the bigger profile will help pull in those bigger fish.

I mainly fish the 5" but always have some of the 4"ers on hand, especially the white/green frog colored ones. I have great success with those in 4".

Thanks.

Yup, I think I'll go with the fivers.

Thanks biglake, I'm definitly lookin' at some knock-off alternatives. I'll probably order some from Case plastics among others.

I'll get a few authentic Senkos as well.

Plastics: From zero to about 35 types in less than a year. That's probably nothing for some of you folks .

5"

Bite a little chunk off, and whammo. You got a 4".

Now remember to look for the knock-off Senkos too. There have been many posts out here about the variety of much cheaper alternatives to the $6/for 10 worms that Senkos offer.
