[Backwoods bassin]

What style bait is yalls favorite and why? 

[Nitrofreak]

Both!

Both work well when conditions meet the need for each application.

Senko but I rarely throw either of those any more. My username is no longer valid lol.

Ribbon tail cause i have never been good at wacky rigging and seem to just end up losing most of the sinkos i've bought.

Senko by far. Its more versatile of a bait. Lunkers TV did a good video on senko rigging the other day!

Both.

Both.

Can use them both for a lot of the same things but i will use each more often than the other for different things:

--Senko for vertical presentations, twitching, deadsticking, pitching to targets, docks, clear water, heavier vegetation

--Ribbontail for horizontal presentations, dragging and hopping on bottom, dirty and stained water, sparser vegetation

I'm a big fan of texas rigging senkos, but not wacky rigging them. They're great on these hooks linked below. Admittedly, I don't use them enough anymore but the jig stands right up and being that senkos are thicker they stick right up in the bass' face.

I use both styles as they are completely different baits. I wacky rig smaller Senko or stick worms and T-rig the 5" models, and they are very effective no matter how you rig them. Ribbon tail worms for me are my active Texas rig worms for mostly deeper water, 10+, that ribbon tail flutters on the fall and it also displaces water making it good for stained water situations. So I really can't say on is a favorite over another since each is used for different situations.

I've used both with great results.At my home lake that I fish most of the time I believe that they bite anything better if its not the same thing all the time.

senko and it's like a million:two ratio.  i mean i literally have like 2 bags of ribbontails to my name and they're the rage tail anaconda.

Two very different baits.

I am Very big on soft plastics and quite the abundance of senkos and ribbon tails. A 5" june bug senko is my go to bait. I very rarely toss that around and not at least throw on in the live well. I learned how to bass fish from my dad who also loves worms. He always threw and still does throw a 7" fire and ice worm. I have changed my techniques a little along the way and normally out fish him now when hes in back my boat. We often bicker about which method is better but both put fish in the boat. Also I started using a hook with a weighted head to help my senko get down when the fish aren't suspended. Hooks with weed guards have become my best friend for allowing me to make more cast especially in areas with a lot of laydows. Big Bite Baits makes a really affordable bait. If your like me you need a cheap bait because I go through around 2-3 packs a trip. Good luck
