Someone is always going to crack a joke... ;D

On second thought that might look fairly good....

I think I might go the Skeet Reese route and make it yellow and black..... Just kidding

If you always fish your strengths you are going to win sooner or later..

Thank God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can say that again!!!

I have a john boat that I want to paint....... What are some good color selections?

A guy I fish tournament with was using the baby paca craws as a jig trailer and putting worm rattles in them. We were flipping and pitching and he was doing good with them..

I appreciate it George.

The way I try to choose colors is to make the bait look like something they eat.. a bluegill, shad, crappie, crawfish, ect... Sometimes I think I do this just as a confidence booster because I see my friend catch fish all the time on bright yellow, green, orange, ect. trick worms... Sometimes I think a bass will eat just about anything

Both of those baits are a lot more versatile than most people think. Like FatBoy said you can fish them under the water. I like to swim mine to make it look like a bluegill, crappie, or shad (depending on which color I am using). You can also buzz them across the surface like a buzzbait or even carolina rig them. I've also had good results with them as a jig trailer.

I explored the bait a little bit more today and discovered that they will not roll over as much if you use a texas rig bullet wieght in front of them... I've only been using them for a couple of days now and have caught 20 or more on them... They still aren't as good as the original senko... I don't think anything will ever be..

In clear water I use Watermelon w/ Red Flake and Watermelon. In stained or muddy water I use Junebug, Black w/ Blue Flake, and Green Pumpkin. I like the 4in and 5in for finnesse fishing or when the bass I'm targeting are smallish. I like the 6in and 7in for bigger fish.

I've caught fish that way with line up to 20lbs mono. Normally I use 8lbs mono like you but the heavier the line you use the more it will mess up the action of the bait. One way to get around that is use flourocarbon. Since flouro sinks it will not effect the action.

What does everyone think about the new swim senko's? I like them but find them very expensive. They will start to roll around if you don't rig them exactly right but other than that I like them. The only way I've fished them so far is wieghtless texas rig. Has anyone fished them a differant way? What are some of your favorite colors as well?

There usually will only be me in the boat or maybe one other person... speed is not much of a factor I just need to get to one spot to the other.... I couldn't find any max HP on the boat so I don't know... I assume it's something around 25... I don't fish restricted water so that isn't a factor.. but money is... thanks guys
