Catfish On A Senko?

Featured Replies

Howdy, I was out fishing yesterday with a 5' purple senko caught something didn't feel like a bass real strong fighter. Just wondering if anyone has caught a catfish using a senko?

I've caught just about everything that swims on a Senko. Except a catfish! I've caught both LM & SM bass, walleye, carp, white perch, yellow perch, salmon, lake trout and rainbow trout. Don't see why catfish wouldn't eat one either. :)

I agree, no reason why a catfish wouldn't take a Senko or other soft plastic. I've caught them on crankbaits, Chatterbaits and grubs on jigheads, why not other lures?

I don't see why they wouldn't either myself. Thanks.

Same here never caught any on any kind of Senko. Actually pull out two bass with a watermelon from the same hole that my brother was fishing near and he pulled out two cats with a Powerbait or Gulp can't remember. He was cussing me I know that for the bass, lol.

I've caught river channel cats on various soft plastics and jigs, including Senkos. I don't think they're too picky. They really like tube jigs in particular.

I've caught tons of cats on cranks, jigs, and plastics. Caught a couple on spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, rattletraps, spoons, and even a buzzbait and frog. I've also had friends catch 1 flathead over 20 pounds and one over 30 on spinnerbaits out of my boat. They are not just scavengers like they are rumored to be and will certainly eat a senko.

I have caught a lot of channel cats on senkos when targeting bass. They are predators too.

Yes.

James River in Virginia. :)

Caught a 10 lb. channel on a wacky rigged Senko this spring, son of a gun hammered it right after it hit the water, I saw what it was right away so I didn't suffer the "I got a big bass... dang it it's a catfish" letdown.

I have only caught 1 on a senko and it was around 10# and it grabbed it as soon as it hit the water. On the other hand I have caught a bunch using tubes. They really seem to like the tubes.

Caught on a Senko (323).

Caught a bunch of smaller ones too but this guy was a suprise coming out of my condo lake.

I have caught cats on cranks, in-line spinners, twisters, and buzz baits. Last year I caught more cats fishing for bass than I did fishing for cats. I figure the lure landed right infront of them and they reacted.
