I've had alot of success using the 4" Senko on a dropshot rig and the splitshot rig.I go to these methods when fishing is tough,so my thinking is to also downsize a truly effective bait in conjunction with these two finese techniques.

Haven't caught a darn thing using the 4 incher, 5 inches a little more luck, than the 6 inch ahhhh perfect. Flexible decent size and casts like a missle. Now as for the 7 incher I'm dying to get my hands on it as well as the 10 incher i think would be great for here in NC and Florida when i get there. But my Pb came on a red and black colored senko and I'm quite fond of that size and color. Much to Respect Mr Yamamoto!!!

When fishing for smallies I use the 4in senko most of the time. I use 2/0 EWG texas rigged weightless. I will even use a 3in senko at night on the dam with  a  1/0 EWG. My #1 way to fish a 4in senko is on a reaction innovation screwed up jig head or Any shakey head will work and at night is the best. It dosent seem like it would work because of the lack of action but it does.
