Smokinal Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I have been reading a lot of posts where you guys are throwing a wacky 4" Senko for a tough bite. Any favorite "standby" colors? Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted March 22, 2015 Super User Posted March 22, 2015 I usually carry a variety of colors; from lighter colors to black. You never know what can really get them going, but this size has accounted for a lot of big smallies for me over the years. Not as productive as the 5" wacky rigged, but close. Also wacky rig the 3" on a drop shot. Sometimes that can be good. And don't forget about slip floating! 1 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 22, 2015 Super User Posted March 22, 2015 GYCB in straight watermelon or watermelon w black flake or ( fading watermelon ) 2 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 22, 2015 Super User Posted March 22, 2015 GYCB in straight watermelon or watermelon w black flake or ( fading watermelon ) X2 And I'll add #297 & # 912 - I simply have no choice. A-Jay 1 Quote
Kevin22 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 GP with green and purple flake. Man that is a killer color! I think it is 301? 1 Quote
Will Wetline Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Before the 6.0 lb. smallie in my avatar pic had her photo op she had a wacky rigged 4" Senko in her mouth. Color #297. #194 works well too. 3 Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 My best color has been watermellon magic. It's a smoke fest with this color tied on. 1 Quote
Mccallister25 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 The color Iv always found that works for me when no other color would is the BPS brand senko. "Crawberry" 1 Quote
EvanT123 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I like black with blue flake. I'm excited to try the pearl white this year. 1 Quote
RSM789 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Green Pumpkin with any kind of flake in clear water or high skies, black/red shad laminate in lower light conditions. 1 Quote
Sonik Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I keep Zoom Fish Doctors and Centipedes in my bag burried at the bottom. They're my last ditch shot before I come up skunked. Fish Doctors and Centipedes are 4" and I like them Texas rigged or wacky depending on cover and almost always weightless. I believe mine are green pumpkin and junebug. Once summer gets here and the submergent grass gets up, I am going to try them on a mojo rig. Some like them on a Carolina rig. 1 Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Smoke Pearl Blue is my favorite Senko color, followed by Watermelon w/black flake and Junebug. 1 Quote
justhere Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I don't know the number or whatever, but the Yamamoto ones in blue always worked for me. Also BPS sticko's in bubblegum pink work good for me. 1 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 23, 2015 Super User Posted March 23, 2015 Mostly watermelon magic, watermelon gold-flake are hot colors for me. 1 Quote
Crank Bait Nut Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Green Pumpkin , Junebug and/or Pearl Mike 1 Quote
primetime Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 The Color Lineup for GYB Senko's is simply amazing, I find it very hard to pick colors when ordering worms from their site since they make some colors that are not made by anyone else. In a perfect world I would have a pack in every size in about 4 dozen colors, but overall I would say I throw the Natural Shad and Smokes in clear water and I also love the Smokes with blue and other metallic flakes, but I also do well with the Watermelon/Pearl laminate and the Purple With Emerald Flake... A 4" Senko is the perfect size if you are looking for strikes & even though I prefer to use larger sizes most of the time, I always have a spinning rod with a 4" wacky rigged senko, or 3" on a drop shot because they catch fish even if Panfish also love the smaller senko's. 1 Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I found color in stick baits makes no difference. Fish what gives you confidence 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 23, 2015 Global Moderator Posted March 23, 2015 If you haven't tried it, a 4" stickworm on a shakyhead is a killer. I catch some of my biggest smallmouth of the year every year on that setup. 1 Quote
