Senko's

What's your favorite size and color?

Favorite way to rig them?

[loadmaster]

Baby Bass rigged wacky style. We fished a lake last summer around the docks we found tons of bass so we tried different colors of sankos and and alot of other plastics One of us would keep the sanko on and the other would try something diffrent ( craydads etc) the one trying the odd stuff would not get a hit, but as soon as the sanko went down a fish was on. I do not know if this was an odd day or what but it made me a firm believer in sankos>>>later the load

[matthothand]

Gary Yamamoto all the way. Too bad they don't hold up so well but seems to be the best producing brand if you can afford to lose on every fish. I like the Gr. pumpkin with chartruse tip. Rig it on wide gap worm hook without weight if fishing 14 FOW or less. If deeper try carolina rig. I've caught a solid 80% of my 20+ inch bass on that brand and color. It's a bait I feel confident throwing pretty much all season long. You can fish it so many ways it has to be the single best bass lure ever. You can fish the slop, skip docks, carolina rig it, wacky rig, heck you just get that thing wet and it'll produce bass.

My fave, Exude Comida, Gunebug!

[ikeslayer]

deitz, my favorite would probably be exude to if i was on their prostaff. Sorry just had to pick on you for the predictable obvious answer.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Very true ike, well put. But then again, I have turned down more than a couple of prostaff positions with companies I dont belive in.

I do wish they(Exude) would make a smaller version like a 4".

[JPSavage]

I have found that a number of companies make very good senko imitations, all have a slightly different fall rate, wiggle ,salt content , etc....Don't discount the others, while senkos are great, a number of imitations are very good as well.

I have explored numerous options for Senkos, but keep coming back to them. Green Pumpkin w. Chart Tip, Rootbeer w. Green & Black Flake, Purple w. Blue Flake, Baby Bass and Bubblegum (Pink) have been my favorites for Largemouth.

I like the 5" sticks Texposed on 2/0 Mustad wide-gap hooks. I try to get two fish per side, but with some, you're lucky to get one fish per Senko.

Some more durable options are the BPS Stik-O and the Yum Dinger. I haven't ever wacky rigged my sticks, but I expect that would work just as good.

When you wacky rig, do you go with the 0-ring in the middle and run the circle hook between the O-Ring and the bait or just spear the bait with the hook?

[HawgTide]

O rings will save you lots of money versus not using them IMHO. I do prefer the Yamamoto's, but try all different brands.

[Mr. Pike1]

I like the Rootbeer and Cinnimin with green speckle. I prefer the 5" but the 4 has it place as well

[ikeslayer]

deitz i find tha very respectable. I dont think there are too many guys that could do that. i love free stuff to much. Will exude ever make a 4"? ike

[Deitz Dittrich]

Ike- I dont know about a 4" Comida, I may do some asking and see, I know they are not in the 2006 catalog, so I can be sure to tell you that I highly doubt it for this year.
