Your best senko color and presentation

Featured Replies

What is your favorite.  I just started fishing senkos and I hardly know anything about them. Can you guys give me some tips?

Watermelon Seed is my favorite.  I prefer to use 7" senkos though.

Junebug and black and blue flake are paramount for me since I fish mostly tannic tea colored water.green pumkin/chart tip are killer as well.

Creme White is my favorite color. I prefer the 4 incher, rigged weightless texposed with a 1/0 EWG Gamakatsu hook.

color? whats that? that actually makes a difference?  to each there own. ill throw 85 colors in one day and they all work COLOR MEANS NOTHING in my book.

My top colors for senkos are:

Watermellon seed

Smoke

Silver Pearl

I use the 4" and 5" sizes rigged wacky style and weightless T-rig.

For my clear water fishing, for smallmouth or LM for instance, I wacky rig 5" watermelon Senkos.

For more dingy water or when I'm specifically targeting largemouth, the green pumpkin usually does a tad better.

If you asked me why? I'd say, I don't know....it just works that way for me! But I don't really weigh the color too heavily. As said previously, the Senko, regardless of what color you use, will catch fish!

4" Wacky rig - Watermellon Candy

I've had the best luck on Green Pumpkin/Watermelon laminate 5"... I use a 5/0 Daichi swimbait hook with no weight, it's got a screw in the eye to put the worm on... so far, that has got to be one of the sharpest hooks out of the pack I've ever used, and it's strong too... I'd rank it right up there with my Owner hooks

A 6" junebug or watermelon color.  Some time I t-rig them with a small weight, but usually I go weightless and dead stick them.

  • Super User

Watermelon Candy or  June Bug

Weightless Tex-Posed on a Gammy EWG Hook from 3/0 to 6/0 depending on the size.  Also wacky if you can get away with it.
