Let's Talk Senkos Type Baits, Popular Colors???? 2025
bigbill reply :
Ok let's share this knowledge and experience on what's your successful senkos type bait color?
Senkos brand,
Red, large red flake
Motor oil flake
Gambler ACE
Electric Blue.
B P S stik o worm
Red shad
Amber flake
What's yours?
I noticed with the senkos brand 5" we get 10ct. With 6" we get only 5ct.
I did buy an assortment of mister twister comida (MT SENKO) to try in different colors.
Do you more experienced guys think the successful worm colors will transfer the same success into senkos colors?
Looking for some senkos savvy. Thanks guys/gals.

In GYCB, I like the standard colors. Watermellon black flake, watermellon red flake, green pumpkin, watermellom magic, black and my favorite, cinnamon. The cinnamon is a perfect match to a earthworm.
In BPS, I like mardi gras.
Senko lover reply :
My hands down favorite is Green Pumpkin with a chartreuse tip.

Green Pumpkin
Watermelon red
Dan_the_fisher reply :
The only color gycb needs to make is smoke with black and purple flake. It's the universal color that works everywhere

I bought several of those Luck E Strike Jogger worm kits . I caught a lot of fish on every color. One color did not out perform the other and it got to the point where I would just pick one randomly .

When I use them, which isn't too often ( I prefer Sluggo's)...
Watermelon red for the Senko and Okeechobee Craw for the Stick O's.

I'd rather discuss the best rod for $100
Bluebasser86 reply :
I get pretty crazy with senko colors. I'll use watermelon purple flake, green pumpkin, and sometimes I'll even use black and blue 
That's it, I really have no need to carry any other colors.

Yum dinger in melon pie and watermelon seed, I haven't used my other brands or colors yet so can't say if they work for me.
Subaqua Adinterim reply :
Watermelon Red Magic
Baby Bass
New to my list this year is Goby - the 4" is working well for me. In the lakes I fish there are no gobies, however, there must be something to the gold tint in this that mimics the bait forage.

The only color dilemma I encounter with senko style baits is whether or not I need the chartreuse tip. Stained/murky = yes, clear = no. Otherwise, it's a plain green pumpkin, plain watermelon, or black, and the three are mostly interchangeable.

I second the Goby color. It was a new color for me this year and it's done well for me this summer.
Also I use the Tightlines Uvenko the most. I still think the UV stuff is just hype but I've pulled some of my best senko fish when using those. The blue/black around docks and green/red flame on grass lines have been deadly.
bigbill reply :
One of Bill Dances bytes on Facebook he taLKed about the UV.

I'm calling BS on every one of you. We ALL have a bag of bubblegum senko type baits and we've all caught fish on them and always as a last resort!

First time I ever used a senko I started with watermelon/red flake and was only catching sub-legals. Switched to the baby bass laminate and caught four between 2-4 pounds in about an hour. Sold me on that color.
Scott F reply :
The best color is the one YOU have confidence in. I have senko type baits in lots of colors and never found one that clearly out fished the others. There may be days when one produces more, but you can't predict what color that might be, or when it might happen. In my experience, color almost never matters.
bigbill reply :
Going by the ten year test results the bass don't see all the colors all the time. They can be color blind or color limited. Quote, Bill Dance one color may catch a few bass another color may load the boat. I haven't read all the lab test results.
Do you think the worm colors can have the same success in senkos?
My natural crawfish are red sides with black backs. The redshad worms and red, LG flake senkos, the motor oil LG flake senkos are successful. Even the red, flake brushogs.
The bomber redapple craw CRANKBAIT is good too.
We have a relationship between the red colors in different types of baits and presentations.
As the time of day changes so do the baits.
I've seen the bass feeding frenzy where the bass only hit my rebel BIGCLAW CRAWFISH CRANKBAIT. My son tossed every other crawfish bait I had but that BIGCLAW in chartruese was hotter than Haiti that night. Even other chartruese cranks wouldn't work. This tells me they can single out one bait. One pattern. So we can have a multiple pattern or a single pattern.
My point is why do so many fishermen stay using one bait, one color when it's not working. Is it that hard to change baits and colors.
On the BIGCLAW bass feeding frenzy night a guy walks past me seeing me catch bass after bass says I'm having a good night. I'm throwing the crawfish crank. He's tossing a spinnerbait.
jtharris3 reply :
The stock bait that has come to the forefront for me over the course of this summer is the 5" Yum Dinger in green pumpkin w/ chartreuse tip. I generally Texas rig it and it flat out catches them! A close second is the Kalins Wac-O-Worm 5" in the Baby Bass color.
Derekbass02 reply :
I also use bps Stik-Os with my favorite colors for largemouth being darker colors and mainly white for smallmouth,
zeth reply :
Keitechy Salty Core Stick. Conditions dictate color. I own every color they make. If I had to pick one it would be plain old green pumpkin.
WIGuide reply :
I use Yum Dingers almost exclusively. My top producing colors would be watermelon black flake, mardi gras, and black and blue. I have a lot of confidence in a bunch of other colors as well, but those are the 3 I'll usually start with and have the most confidence in.
bigbill reply :
Do you let the light and water conditions dictate whether you use a shorter length natural color or a longer length brighter color?
Or never gave it much thought and use what color your confident with?
