Is everyone on this board a senko freak?

[JDK.]

Man seems like everyone here loves Senkos ;D ;D

Personally i rarely throw them think i got 2 packs somewhere i use on a c-rig occasionally catch plenty of fish,, guess im more of a jig guy..just seems like you cant read a topic here without senko coming up.. Not hating just seems like this is Senko City

[Andy Taylor]

Not me. I much prefer the Zoom Trick Worm.

[Big Tom]

I am not a huge fan of the Senko.  I don't hate it, I just enjoy fishing other soft plastics more.  I will throw it on occasion, especially when the fish are shallow.

I think they are so popular on this board because they are a great bait for a beginner and we have a TON of beginners here at any given time.  I wish I knew about the Senko when I first started.  I used to fish a few places that was prime Senko water.

[gobig]

They flat catch fish but its definitely not my favorite. In fact dead sticking a senko is probably my least favorite technique. In previous posts I have likened it to watching paint dry. However they have their time and place for sure. I always have senko's with me.

[Fishing Rhino]

While I fish senkos, they are not my "favorite" bait.  Although there are some days when they are.

The thing about senkos is they are a good universal bait.  While presentation is important, there seems to be no wrong way to fish them. 

They are probably the best bet for a novice to catch fish.

I enjoy fishing with soft plastics, period. That includes Senco's (or knock offs) flukes, creatures ect.I almost always have a Senco tied on one off the 5 or 6 poles in the boat. I have given countless hooks and Senco's to kids that were fishing at the boat launch and not catching diddly until they were shown the Senco's power. Same with adults,have taken lots of people fishing that have only used live bait and shown them how to catch fish on plastics. Not just Sencos but plastics in general. They are great as someone said, for newbies, but I suspect more people use them than they care to admit. Just my thoughts.

I think you'll find that most people here use something else than the actual senko.

[Blue Streak]

Not my favorite bait or my best producer, but they have days when they work very well just like every other bait I have ever used. I try just about every soft bait I can find I think I am addicted to them.

[pudmunk]

Being a noob...  Yes I do

Do I love them? no

Do they produce for me? Yep

My buddy HARDLY tosses one and says his tourny partner calls it "gay fishing"

Probably due to what someone else said, it's kinda boring and like watching paint dry.

I'm starting to get into cranks and spinners now, but always have a Craw ore Senko tied up

Yamamoto for muah

[pudmunk]

BTW Yamamoto products are on sale at dicks sporting goods till Sat night for 4.99 per pack

good buy seeing they are a bit pricey at 6.49 reg

just a FYI bros

The GYCB Senko revolutionized bass fishing for many people,

including me! The introduction of the Senko was magical, much

like the original Lucky 13, Jitterbug, Rat-L-Trap, Creme Worm,

Gitzit and Floating Rapala.

I suspect the Senko has contributed to more tournament wins

than any other bait over the past fifteen years. This would be

especially true at the amateur level.

[SirSnookalot]

I don't care for that style of fishing but on the rare occasion that I use them success is almost guaranteed, sizable fish as well.

[Stasher1]

They're quite possibly my least favorite soft plastic, and I haven't thrown one in well over a year.

[rubba bubba]

I love fishing them a long with any other weightless plastic, but I prefer plastic fishing to crank/spinnerbait fishing personally.

[South FLA]

Senko, Stick-O, Wave, Zero, etc.

Are all AWESOME soft plastic lures and can be worked and rigged just about anyway.  If you don't have them you are missing out!  Caught my biggest bass on one and will continue to use them for producing numbers or quality.  My go to lure is the one that is producing, so its not always the case, but to answer your question, I am a Senko or Senko imitator fan!!

[NateFollmer]

I use them a lot, but I wouldn't say I love them. Personally, I wacky rig them more than anything, I rarely T-rig them anymore (I'd rather throw a rage craw or El Grande bluegill tube if I'm T-rigging). You cannot beat the wiggle of a stickbait as it's falling weightless though.

I agree. I have caught some of my biggest fish on wacky rigged Senko/knock-offs. It is not my favorite technique, but I almost always have one ready to go. I add weight according to depth, and have caught fish from very shallow to very deep (15-20'). They are effective anywhere in the water column. What's not to like?

[Pikesnogle]

'Senko' is an over-used word. I think that a lot of people use it when they are indeed talking about a similar product such as the Yum Dinger (which is more durable, cheaper and basically the same thing). I myself am guilty of this from time to time.

I use senkos and similar products often, because let's face it... they catch fish. In just about every type of water and almost every condition mother earth can throw at us. They are just a solid bait, and a versatile one at that.

That being said I don't understand why people hate them, and I am not saying those people are wrong at all. It's all a matter of fishing with something that you have confidence in, and enjoy fishing with. I have baits that I don't like too. But something that catches fish everywhere that I fish it would be irrational the not throw it.. right?

[I.rar]

imo , they are a great bait.  i use *** trick sticks and sometimes the kinami stick baits when they are in the clearance bins.

while its not my favorite way to fish , i do fish them alot. they simply catch fish. less than a year ago , i couldnt get anything to bite one. now it seems thats the only bait that works, so i use it.

Nate,

Where are you in PA?

[roadwarrior]

Bobby has just introduced a new "Senko" with nearly identical

characteristics, PLUS MegaStrike attractant built in!

Roadwarrior,

Does this mean that you've been converted from the gycb senko over to Bobby's version?

[Raul]

Senko ---> bait for people who don 't know how to fish and want to catch fish

I have literally hundreds of them, hardly ever use them, no wonder why a pack lasts me years.

[hookingem]

I was stuck on them for awhile because lets be serious they flat out catch fish! I still do throw them now but try not to too much and become more comfortable with different techniques.

[roadwarrior]

Roadwarrior,

I have not tried one yet, they just came out. To be fair,

maybe...but probably not. This, I suspect, will be a high

quality bait and superior to other knock-offs.
