The Title says it all, how does everyone decide which kind of bait to throw between say a senko, beaver, and a craw. Thanks 

A lot of it depends on what you are flipping or pitching into cover wise to me!  If I am in heavy grass I want something more streamline so it doesn't hang up on the grass on the way in and out, so less appendages.  Craws I usually do around docks and laydowns.  Just my way, I am sure everyone has their own way!

The most important part for me is having enough weight to make easy pitches .. I like the Yum Dingers a lot and it  pairs well with a 1/4 ounce weight . If I want a slower fall , a longer plastic worm with the quarter ounce weight  ,like an 8 inch jelly worm . If I go with a skinny 6 inch   worm then I need a heavier weight and I'll get a faster fall . Sometimes that fast fall works best . But if I use too light a weight , I cant pitch well at all . Other people may be able to go lighter than I .

Frankly, whether I'm pitching or casting, my bait choice may be unaffected.

By the way, what's a Senko?

I only use Senkos weightless texas rigged or wacky rigged, never for pitching and flipping. I like creature baits or craws.

Senko is a Fat rubber worm, specifically yamamoto

I’ve had great luck throwing them on a weighted Texas rig as well

Senko for a slow fall. 

Craw for something with a little action but not too much. 

Creature for more action on the fall. 

 

All depends what the fish want that day.

Whatever works friend! I just prefer other worms for weighted presentations, that's the beauty of the Senko, the way it falls weightless. ?

I agree, sometimes it’s nice with a light sliding weight if it’s not getting down fast enough or windy.

As previously mentioned what am I flipping-n-pitching to.

 

Vegetation, timber, brush, rock, laydowns, docks, ect.

 

Lure selection may or may not be the same. ?
