Will a 3in. Cream White Senko Catch many any big bass?

No.

Fish a 5" or 6" bait.

kinda figured that but will that atleast put a few bass in the boat and sorry for such a bland semi stupid question..thanks for you time to help me out a little

Im gonna agree with roadwarrior you need to use the bigger senko. I use the 5 inch.

You'll catch fish on a 3" worm.  Those fish could be anything from bluegill, to bream, to crappie, to bass though.  In order to weed out the smaller fish it is typical to use a  bait that is larger than a 3" worm.  I typically use 6" berkley power worms.  

I'd go with the 5in or 6in in any dark color.  I have had zero luck with the white Senkos but I have caught several fish on white grubs over the years.  

sure it can.  sometimes when fishing gets tougher and weather gets colder we down size baits.  a three inch senko on a dropshot should work for you.  saying no its just absurd theres been plenty of big fish caught on anything ranging from beetle spins to flies.  so i dont see how you can tell someone that something wont work for them.just cause it hasnt worked for you.

Hate to go against the grain here but.... I've caught plenty on 3" white Senkos on a splitshot rig.  Great in the river in the fall when the shad are running.  Also used it as a follow up bait when they stop hitting the bigger sizes.

Took the words right out of my mouth...If they aren't hitting the bigger baits...downsizing just might get the job done.I found that out 2 weeks ago.

Only problem is you will get ALOT of smaller fish as well.When you're after the bigger ones this might get tiresome fighting the littler ones off.

I use to think the same thing until my wife started pulling out some nice 18 and 20" bass with a 3" watermelon gold senko.

Those are some big bass for up here in NY.

So the answer is yes.....you can catch some bigger bass on a 3" senko.

I would hate to say "no".  But why would you use a 3" bait to fish for trophy bass?

Big bass doesn't have to be a trophy bass though.

Like I said.....20" bass are big bass up in my parts and a 3" senko will get them up on shore.

I've never used a 3" senko, but when the water is cooler or after a cold front I've used 4" senkos with very good results.

Glenn made a great point. While we normally don't associate small baits with big bass. There's always talk about after fronts move in and fishing gets tough for you to downsize or upsize your baits. In an area where shad are abundant or even minnows, throwing a white curly tailed grub or a minnow colored grub into a feeding frenzy works just as well as tossing a trap or a rapala shad rap. Fishing is situational and you have to think about what's going on around you. While the smaller baits might nab one of the smaller fish, there's always a possibility one of those lunkers may hit it if they are darting about wildly killing a school.

"Trophy" is a releative term.  What is a trophy in Wisconsin will not necessarily be a trophy in Texas.

No matter what size your trophy bass is it would seem prudent to target them with something a little bigger than a 3" senko.

Say a 4" senko maybe 8-)

Targeting them than yes I agree. But if your just fishing to catch some numbers than don't be suprised if a big un gets on. I guess thats what I'm trying to say.

Obviously my wife wasn't trying to hunt a trophy bass but just trying to catch something. Turned out the big ones love that 3" trick stick that day. I might add that I didn't catch jack during that same time with my 5" Trick stick. But my son and wife were whackin um.  8-)

why not use a 2in grup for 10lb largemouth? :-?

Well i have them soo it cant hurt to throw them up for some cast where could i look to better understand a slipshot righ Glenn??

I would say they will work in the fall and winter, but I prefer to use the swim senkos.

before I would use a 3" senko I would fish a small finess worm- like a 3.5 to 4" drop shot worm.  I have tried those little senkos and they do not have good action they are to small(the ends don't wiggle as much compared to the larger ones) and do not have the favorable characteristics the big brothers do- for senkos I fish the 4"ers on up.

I used the 4'' senko this summer and had far better luck than with the 5'' here in NH.
