Do You Fish Big Senko's=Speak Up?

[eyedabassman]

I was looking at the 6 in. and 7 in. Senko's at a Gander store! Man these things are BIG,they look like a cigar! Do any of you guys fish the big dog?

[jignfule]

I've use 7'' senkos, fished them slow and picked up bigger fish.

[Darren.]

No, 5" is the biggest Senko, but I do have some 7" Zoom worms I have yet to catch a fish on... Think they're the Mag Finesse.

[zip pow]

yeap i use yum in 6&7 inch only use two colors bream and black and blue lam had a bunch of success around spawning grounds

I do fish big worms like fenesse or a ribbon tail in a 7in. up to 15in. But these senko's are just big and FAT.

[00 mod]

I fish the 6'' regularly!

Me too...The 6" version weeds out some of the smaller fish.

Unfortunately, I have a lot of 7" and they don't produce bigger

bass than the 6".

I know of some fisherfolk who swear by the larger, fatter worms. Just haven't seen the evidence to warrant such purchases. My 7.5 PB was on a 5" Senko. I'd like to see if the 7" Mag Finesse worm will do well for me during the spawn. They'll eat most anything then.

I've used the BPS version with moderate success.  I like to rig it wacky style with a plastic zip tie. They're great for distance casting and that's a concern for me as gin clear water is the norm on a couple of smaller lakes that I fish. I loose a little of the edge in using them because of the size, but the action is still there and I'm confident in putting them in front of finicky fish.  On the one lake I fish it was the only presentation I was able to get bites on and although I only boated three fish on my last outing there, they were all quality (18in.+) fish.

Definately not my first choice, but sometimes you gotta go with what works.

[Basseditor]

I like the 7" Senkos. I've caught some big bass on them. I usually start with 7" and only go smaller when not getting bit so I'll drop down to 6"

[ww2farmer]

I have done pretty well with the 6" before.

[fstr385]

I have some black and black/red flake just for night fishing with some luck. Ive tried a couple times in super low viz water w very little luck. Havent bothered to try any other situation over 5"

[Bluebasser86]

I like the 7" BPS version for texas rigging with a 1/4oz weight for pitching into cover for big fish. It cuts down on a lot of bites but the ones I get are good ones. Never had much luck with them weightless like a smaller bait though. 

[tomustang]

10lb+ and the 5" delivers, I don't need it bigger than that

[SirSnookalot]

Never is an absolute word, I'll insert seldom.  A few weeks ago I was doing quite a bit of either jig and trailer or larger worms, I've given that up for a while.  I probably have caught as many fish 20-25" as I ever did but it's agony to fish that way, too slow for me.  I'm back with weightless flukes, still catching good fish but not as many but it's more fun to me.  The fish are aggressive now, I don't want a boring bite, I want the explosion on top of the water. 

[Nave]

If I am in a tournament situation and I fill up my live well, I will usually switch over to a 6 or 7 inch to weed out the smaller fish. 

[Crestliner2008]

7" Senko = the big bite.

[eyedabassman]

Well, I will have to give them a try. Like I don't have enough plastic!!! The GY Senko's are not cheap $ 7.99. Are The BPS or the Dingers 6in. and 7in. as fat as the GY?

[Bluebasser86]

The BPS version is a very thick bait, I fish them on a 5/0 EWG superline hook. Not sure how thick the big Senkos are, I can't afford to fish them just for fun.

[Sherlock 60]

In my neck of the woods you will see the Muskie guys use the 7" Senkos when they need a slow plastic presentation.

 

I picked up some of the 6" and 7" Senkos this winter and look forward to giving them a try. Probably should put the 7 inchers on a sevenstrand leader just in case the toothy critters come out to play.

[JT Bagwell]

I absolutely love the 7" Yamamoto Senko. I actually fish them more than I do the 5".

 

The bigger baits do weed out some of the smaller fish but that is not to say that the smaller ones

won't eat a 7" Senko too.

 

I saw a 12" Bass caught on a big fat 16" worm on an 11/0 hook so I don't think little Bass are scared to

eat anything.

I can't wait to throw them cigars. I know this much I will be able to cast alot further!

[JT Bagwell]

Just be careful when you cast them.

 

Use more of a lob type cast vs a whipping type cast.

 

If you whip those bigger Senkos they will rip and fly off during the cast.

 

It creates a big nasty backlash if you are using a baitcaster.

I use the 7" Yum dinger in Grn Pumpkin Purple and catch a lot of large fish in the Spring and also at night.Alton Jones has made a ton of money fishing this Senko wanna be.IMHO the larger version is a fish grader and catches the larger fish.
