Super User bigbill Posted September 19, 2015 Super User Posted September 19, 2015 Ok let's share this knowledge and experience on what's your successful senkos type bait color? Senkos brand, Red, large red flake Motor oil flake Gambler ACE Electric Blue. B P S stik o worm Red shad Amber flake What's yours? I noticed with the senkos brand 5" we get 10ct. With 6" we get only 5ct. I did buy an assortment of mister twister comida (MT SENKO) to try in different colors. Do you more experienced guys think the successful worm colors will transfer the same success into senkos colors? Looking for some senkos savvy. Thanks guys/gals. Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 In GYCB, I like the standard colors. Watermellon black flake, watermellon red flake, green pumpkin, watermellom magic, black and my favorite, cinnamon. The cinnamon is a perfect match to a earthworm. In BPS, I like mardi gras. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted September 19, 2015 Super User Posted September 19, 2015 My hands down favorite is Green Pumpkin with a chartreuse tip. 2 Quote
Dan_the_fisher Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 The only color gycb needs to make is smoke with black and purple flake. It's the universal color that works everywhere Quote
Super User scaleface Posted September 19, 2015 Super User Posted September 19, 2015 I bought several of those Luck E Strike Jogger worm kits . I caught a lot of fish on every color. One color did not out perform the other and it got to the point where I would just pick one randomly . 1 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted September 19, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 19, 2015 When I use them, which isn't too often ( I prefer Sluggo's)... Watermelon red for the Senko and Okeechobee Craw for the Stick O's. Mike Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 19, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 19, 2015 I get pretty crazy with senko colors. I'll use watermelon purple flake, green pumpkin, and sometimes I'll even use black and blue That's it, I really have no need to carry any other colors. Quote
NotnatsSamoht Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Yum dinger in melon pie and watermelon seed, I haven't used my other brands or colors yet so can't say if they work for me. Quote
Subaqua Adinterim Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Watermelon Red Magic Baby Bass New to my list this year is Goby - the 4" is working well for me. In the lakes I fish there are no gobies, however, there must be something to the gold tint in this that mimics the bait forage. Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted September 19, 2015 Super User Posted September 19, 2015 My hands down favorite is Green Pumpkin with a chartreuse tip. The only color dilemma I encounter with senko style baits is whether or not I need the chartreuse tip. Stained/murky = yes, clear = no. Otherwise, it's a plain green pumpkin, plain watermelon, or black, and the three are mostly interchangeable. 1 Quote
John M. Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Watermelon Red Magic Baby Bass New to my list this year is Goby - the 4" is working well for me. In the lakes I fish there are no gobies, however, there must be something to the gold tint in this that mimics the bait forage. I second the Goby color. It was a new color for me this year and it's done well for me this summer. Also I use the Tightlines Uvenko the most. I still think the UV stuff is just hype but I've pulled some of my best senko fish when using those. The blue/black around docks and green/red flame on grass lines have been deadly. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 19, 2015 Author Super User Posted September 19, 2015 One of Bill Dances bytes on Facebook he taLKed about the UV. Quote
DevinFishing29 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I use bps sticko. My favorite colors are pink and white. Quote
Jaderose Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I'm calling BS on every one of you. We ALL have a bag of bubblegum senko type baits and we've all caught fish on them and always as a last resort! 1 Quote

Super User J Francho Posted September 20, 2015 Super User Posted September 20, 2015 Black, smoke w/ purple flake, baby bass laminate. Quote
lecisnith Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Black, smoke w/ purple flake, baby bass laminate. First time I ever used a senko I started with watermelon/red flake and was only catching sub-legals. Switched to the baby bass laminate and caught four between 2-4 pounds in about an hour. Sold me on that color. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted September 20, 2015 Super User Posted September 20, 2015 The best color is the one YOU have confidence in. I have senko type baits in lots of colors and never found one that clearly out fished the others. There may be days when one produces more, but you can't predict what color that might be, or when it might happen. In my experience, color almost never matters. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 21, 2015 Author Super User Posted September 21, 2015 Going by the ten year test results the bass don't see all the colors all the time. They can be color blind or color limited. Quote, Bill Dance one color may catch a few bass another color may load the boat. I haven't read all the lab test results. Do you think the worm colors can have the same success in senkos? My natural crawfish are red sides with black backs. The redshad worms and red, LG flake senkos, the motor oil LG flake senkos are successful. Even the red, flake brushogs. The bomber redapple craw CRANKBAIT is good too. We have a relationship between the red colors in different types of baits and presentations. As the time of day changes so do the baits. I've seen the bass feeding frenzy where the bass only hit my rebel BIGCLAW CRAWFISH CRANKBAIT. My son tossed every other crawfish bait I had but that BIGCLAW in chartruese was hotter than Haiti that night. Even other chartruese cranks wouldn't work. This tells me they can single out one bait. One pattern. So we can have a multiple pattern or a single pattern. My point is why do so many fishermen stay using one bait, one color when it's not working. Is it that hard to change baits and colors. On the BIGCLAW bass feeding frenzy night a guy walks past me seeing me catch bass after bass says I'm having a good night. I'm throwing the crawfish crank. He's tossing a spinnerbait. Quote
jtharris3 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 The stock bait that has come to the forefront for me over the course of this summer is the 5" Yum Dinger in green pumpkin w/ chartreuse tip. I generally Texas rig it and it flat out catches them! A close second is the Kalins Wac-O-Worm 5" in the Baby Bass color. Quote
