Soft Stickbaits at night

[airborne_angler]

Anyone throw soft stickbaits(Senkos,Trick Sticks...) at night with success?

Ive been throwing a 5" Black Trick Stick t-rigged weightless with Megastrike on it. I do pretty goodduring the day but once it gets dark,its like someone turned off a switch. No strikes,no taps,nothing from anything,including Bluegill.

So is it that soft stickbaits wont work at night? Am I wasting my time by throwing them in this low light condition?

I have heard of a few people using them, but they just don't put off enough vibration and sound. I have had my only luck on spinnerbaits and topwaters.

My partner used them at the last night tourney we fished and they were the only thing that produced. It was a full moon, if that makes any difference?

Doesn't hurt to try them. But i would recommend something that gives off more vibration/sound, like a spinnerbait with a big single colorado blade or a lipless crank.

Why not try to put some rattles in there?

I use them all the time with sucess.

I have fished them on what I believe are walleye rigs. 

essentially a inline spinner that bottoms out on a single hook.  I replace that hook with a EWG and texas rig a senko at night.  Usually a swim senko for even more attention.

Here in Florida I have had great success at night on 5" senkos,even fishing from the bank.

Yes I fish them at night. But I try more than one color because what may work in the day lite may not be a good color at night! And i fish them with more of a jerk action to get them to move more water, I fish them like a jrekbait at night it makes a big differance.

I used to have success with them, but then it died off. My most successful lures have been with a jig w/a chunk trailer or a spinnerbait. I've had some topwater success, but not much. grimlin brings up a good point, try putting on some rattles if you really want to fish them.

Why not up-size to the 7" Senko? Great all around plastic.
