Josh. Give them a chance, you'll love 'em. That day you put us on those fish at the dam last winter, they were wearing them out. It didn't take long for them to pick 'em up. The thing about the Senko I like is that the fish rarely pick one up and spit it out. They refuse to let go of them it seems. Must be all the salt that's in them. I have found them to be a must have back-up bait and can skip one way up under a dock for those tough to get bit times.
