I'd rather use dynamite.

You must catch too many fish. We have a lot

of guys that would just like to catch some. The

Senko is and has been the #1 producer for more

than a decade. I suspect it will be #1 for another

10 years.

8-)

Yeah, it's actually pretty lame seeing all the bloated, discarded senkos laying on the bottom. Give me a jig anyday.

so are pretty much like a spider grub without the curly tails ? and is there any difference between Kiamis palm tree and yamamotos fat ika ? and lets say i wanted to buy some what would be the nessity colors ?

Palm trees and Fat Ikas are the same bait, from the same factory. Just a different package, and some different colors.

For colors, the same you would normally use. Something natural for clear water, something bright or very dark for off colored water.

Went to my local bait monkey store today, they just moved into a new location, and I couldn't find the Fat Ika's I freaked out for a second, until they showed me I was in the wrong isle.

Thanks for the boost in confidence in these baits. I have been catching the bass pretty good at this powerplant lake on power worms and I think the bass are getting conditioned to the worms. Looking for something with a different look and I seen these hanging on my wall of shame and remembered hearing about them for smallies. Wasn't to sure about the large mouth variety. Looks like They'll be getting some Fat Ikas to eat. Thanks again fellers.

Yeah I am pretty sure the two I pictured are largmouth. I have yet to catch any smallies in my bass fishing career so. yeah.

I can't believe I've never tried these.  They look like prime skipping baits.

How does everyone fish these?  T-Rigged weightless?

Hmm...

I tried skipping them once, I'm not that good at it, and the Ika sorta did a tumble, and stopped before it got to where I wanted it..lol They cast pretty far on 8 or 10lb line weightless.

try sling shotting it with a spinning reel

All I had at the time was my bc rig. Plus there aren't many places locally that require skipping..   But I'll give it a shot with the spinning rig.

Ever since RW turned me on to these last summer, this and the senko have been producing for me all season...snow, ice and now.  4 pounder tonight and a 4 and 3 pounder last night.

The fat Ika are one of my favorite soft plastics. I recently picked up a couple packs of Damiki's Hydra. I haven't thrown them yet but they look similar.

Yeah the Daimiki look cool because of the ball ends on the arms.
