Senko 101

[AustinHellickson]

I need help

 

I hear everyone talking about how senkos are great lures but I can never have luck. 

 

What colors do you recommend? 

Length? 

How do you rig it? 

 

Off topic but how do drop shots work? I hear great things but never tried it... Please comment all you know about it or a link to another forum. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Senkos are my go to, can't catch a fish to save my life, lure. Rigged weightless or on a split shot rig. Works just about every time. If I can't catch them on a senko, I just assume they aren't around. Colors depend on water clarity. I've had lots of luck with the GY green/white in the 5" length. Went through a bag in a day between the bass and the pickerel.

Senkos imo more so than other lures work best when casting to a specific spot. They work great for fishing shoreline cover or docks or sumberged weed edges/pockets but aren't as good as other lures for working an area casting and working it back. For deeper or dirtier water I like a standard 5" senko, green pumpkin has been a good all-around color for me rigged on a 3/0 EWG. For cleaner or shallower water I like the thin 5" senko same color and rigged on a 3/0 straight shank, i like the roboworm rebarb.

What colors for clear water and what color for dark/murky?

What do you recommend for working an area and casting back?
