Favorite Senko Colors

[playmaker47]

What color of Senkos produce the best for you guys?

[phisher_d]

hmmm... I couldn't find anything about colors in the "Got a question about senkos" sticky thread, so here goes...

I like most of the dark colors but my favourite would probably be watermelon w/ black flakes.

[playmaker47]

yea I looked in that Senko question section of the forum, and i couldnt find anything about colors either so thats why i asked this

[KU_Bassmaster.]

I personally think you only need two colors.  A shade of green and black.  Then there are variations with sparkles, swirls, etc.  All of last year I only used two colors of senkos and it cut down on a lot of the clutter in my tackle bag and made picking a bait a whole lot easier.  It was either Watermelon w/ red sparkles or Black and blue laminate.

The local club "classic" last fall was won with a yellow senko with red and green glitter, the only senko to catch anithing that day.

Dark.

42, 194J, 208 & 297 will cover it all.

If Yamamoto discountinued the 031 (Blue Pearl) color in Senko's and Flat tails I'd be in BIG trouble!!  The 031 color is the closest color to mimic teh color of baitfish.  Silverish with silver flakes.  Awesome color for spots.

My absolute favorite color of Senko is Black with Blue glitter. There are

others that I will use if my favorite isn't producing that day, but overall

Black with Blue glitter takes the cake for me.

[Curado]

Watermelonseed, Carolina Pumpkin/Chart., and Glimmer Blue Pepper.

[basspro48]

Watermelon/Red is my favorite and most productive color.

I like dark solid colors for my senko colors. Dark blue and black are my Favorits. During really sunny days when water clarity is good i use a watermelon color.

Green Pumpkin

Watermelon/ red and black flake

BABY BASS, perfectly mimics many types of sunfish

Also Junebug is good

I like to see the variety of diffrent bass fishermen here. Some think that diffrent colors of diffrent lures can immitate diffrent kinds of bait fish and there others that think only natural colors immataite what they look like.

Ex.

some belive A 6 inch worm can immatate a minnow. However for me no matter what the color is a worm immitates a worm nothing ealse.

I just bought a pack of Yamamoto Senkos in watermelon with black flakes and then I bought a Tiki Stick in Smoke/Shad.

Anyone have any luck with Smoke/Shad Senko-type baits?

I have caught alot of bass on Shad color Kinami Flash in the 4" size, in ultra clear water.  I tried the Tiki Worm in the shad color, that is lamenated with a white belly.   No bass but plenty of landlocked saltwater fish like Snook and Reds.
