fishermantony Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Senko may be the most influential bait ever! Quote
Triton21 Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 For me the Senko is my most influential bait... in the last few years. I agree. Kelley Quote
Willzx225 Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 This is the longest running Senko thread in a long time ;D My vote is definitely for the Senko followed by the Swimbait. Another bait that hasn't been mentioned much is the football head jig. It has opened a bunch of eyes to the different uses for jigs other than flipping them at visable cover. Quote
Phranchise1213 Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Im gonna say of the previous decade..senko hands down..for the upcoming decade, I think we are gonna continue to see new finesse products and techniques that will continue to come out of japan... the flick shake technique is becoming really popular right now...if not other techniques I'm not aware of. And btw, if anyone hasn't tried the flick shake technique yet, look it up and get yourself a tru tungsten flea flicker jigs. The action is unreal! and most importantly it catches fish! Quote
Ern Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Have to be the Senko type baits. Every manufacture of soft plastics has them. Put a hook in it and toss it out. And it can catch fish. The Fluke/Sluggo would be next. Although you do something to it. Swimbaits. I dont think they come close. I think they fill a niche. And are still evolving. Swimbaits are from outsized Crankbaits to Paddletail worms. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 3, 2010 Super User Posted February 3, 2010 When the original Floating Rapala was first introduced in the early '60s, the lure was "rented" on an hourly basis on some lakes. Buying one or owning one when the Rapala first came out was virtually impossible. When my dad found out about them, the Rapala could not be bought. By '63 or 1964, the Rapalas were more readily available, but still just as effective as today's Senko. 8-) Quote

I'm surprised tournament fishermen don't fish it exclusively during pre-spawn and spawn! Quote
VolFan Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Short of really heavy cover, ou can fish everywhere top to bottom with an original rapala and some split shot. It's still a "go to" for me, especially in moving water. Quote
