Are senkos good to use for small ponds?

Featured Replies

So I'm wondering if senkos are good for small ponds. And what colors are best for stained water with few weeds? Should I fish them wacky? Texas rigged? I have the colors green pumpkin/watermelon and green pumpkin black flake and have caught a few but not a ton

Very good on any water. Wacky or Texas rig, nearly any color will work.

Absolutely... I love the green pumpkin and the Black/Blue..

Welcome aboard!

Yes, fish them either way. My favorite is wacky,
and I like the 4" versions the most.

I like to stick to "natural" color variants like 
watermelon or green pumpkin magic, junebug,
and so on. I've had success with many colors,
though.

If you have a Bass Pro nearby, try their house 
brand, the Stik-O in those colors. Less expensive
but they work extremely well by my experience.

Yes they are great, I pitch them to areas where I think might hold fish.

yes they flat out work!  i like them wacky rigged.  if the water is muddy or stained try you a darker color like black or junebug.

One of the more productive baits in the ponds I fish, both T-rigged or wacky. 

Oh yea! here in nor cal we have clear water and I use senkos when I have to catch fish. I have caught several fish over 5 lbs on them!

The question should be: why haven't I been using senkos in a pond? LOL
