If you could have only one and I truly mean only one, which would it be?  

Have to pick one over the other, cant pick both for different reasons!

Explain why you picked what you did if you'd like.

I'll start by saying Senkos. Because I love skipping under docks and its easier with a T-riged senko. (For me)

Definitely the jig.  The jig catches big fish consistently and can be worked in the water column from top to bottom and around a variety of cover

Senko. Fo sho.

Onky because I have yet to catch one with a jig.

Pretty ironic the guy with the the name of Senko chooses jigs.

For me it is easy.  I have hundreds of jigs and 0 senkos.

I woulda laughed if senko picked jig and jig man picked senko

For me it would be a Senko. I fish mostly shallow grassy dock lined lakes and Senkos are ideal.

here sorry its late!

Jig because they work everywhere.  They are also easier to fish when the wind picks up.  

They are two different applications that have benefits in different instances... hard to compare them. If I could throw only one, it would be a jig.

jigs over dink magnets anyday

Jig= Quality

Senko= Numbers

Quality over numbers so I want a Jig.

never fished a jig , and never cought anything on a trick stick so ive given quite a few out. swimming senkos cought me some decent sized peacocks though.

Hmmm IMO I don't think its very hard to compare them at all. You throw them both in relative areas, and can use pretty much the same retrieves.  

I also think there are times to use one over the other. But not hard to compare at all.

T-Rig a Senko and I am good to go.

senko if i have to eat fish to live i will catch more fish more often with a senko.

Jig definitely.  You can catch fish anywhere, anytime and under any circumstances.

Later,

I love senkos. I fish a deep lake and use senkos and tubes most of the time, so I picked senko. But, if I could choose between senko vs tube... TUBES win.

senko for me, i feel that you get more bites and you also get quality bites. just move up to a 6" one if you want quality bites only.

jigs over dink magnets anyday

hahahaha

I voted jigs and basically for the reason above.

Without a doubt..a JIG of course!

Jigs are more versatile, catch more big fish, and produce far more consistently.

(for me, at least)

Right now I'd say senko. But, truth is, I just started using them this season so I'm still excited by the number of hits. Used jigs for the past couple of years and have had great luck but the senkos seem to catch alot of fish (although more small fish than jigs). Who knows? I'll probably have a different answer within a week!

Definitely both!

"Just one" would have to pick the jig because

it is much more versatile. I only fish the Senko

and other weightless baits is water <12' deep.

A jig can be fished both shallow and deep.

To everyone saying that a senko is a dink magnet, maybe you're using one too small or your not fishing it well.  I've caught plenty of nice fish on them, and only a handful of dinks.  No more dinks than with any other bait.  I think what happens is people say something, other people read it, and they repeat the info until they start to believe it.  Happens on every forum, fishing related or not.  See something enough times, and you start to believe it, and people repeat it, even if it's not true.

That being said, the senko is very versatile, can be fished shallow, deep, weightless, weighted, wacky, all depending on the depth and where you're fishing.

That is why I read articles to learn and Forums to discuss.
