Favorite Senko colors

[TOXIC]

Having been with Yamamoto for over 20 years, I have had the chance to try many of the colors and even have some input on the design of a few.  My personal favorites have all been listed except for 1 that an exceptionally good local fisherman told me to try and it has become another one of my must haves every time.  As for bulk pricing, they tried that and sold bags of 100 but for whatever reason they discontinued it.  You might be able to find a few still floating on eBay or Marketplace but be careful, it’s not hard to forge packaging and sell a cheaper bait as an original Senko.  I have friends that order custom/discontinued colors but they have to be at least 700 bags.  Key to a Senko is to have confidence in whatever color you choose to fish.  If I can be of any help to anyone on here feel free to reach out.

Anyone ever try #325 Oxblood? That color intrigues me. 

Not in a stickbait but that is one of my favotite RoboWorm colors.

Sounds like I may have to try it. And try RoboWorms, too.

I’ve been fishing RoboWorms for many years. One of the best thing I was turned on to. During a trip to Cali. They were never even heard of out East in my parts back then.

1st, love Roboworms. 

PB&G has been the biggest senko producer for me.

A close 2nd has been cotton candy chartreuse.......this one particular clear lake I fish, that's all they will hit.

Sworn to secrecy but I’ll give you a head start in figuring it out, it’s mid range in the 900 series of colors. ?. It’s a funny thing, in all my years with Yamamoto, I’ll bet I have heard most every color mentioned as someone’s favorite or “must have”.  Sure there are some more mentioned than others but they wouldn’t make them in all the color options if they didn’t work.  Little known fact, Yamamoto adds to and discontinues colors on a pretty regular basis.

Maybe #955?

Pumpkin black & green flake and pumpkin black flake.  No idea why these have been the best color for me over the years but this color has caught more fish for me than a black/blue senko or green pumpkin senko.  What the orange color would represent to a bass is beyond me but i've had a good amount of success on these two colors.

When I feel the need to throw a stick bait, which most times is only as a follow up, I’ll use the Berkeley General before a Senko. 
That said when I used them the watermelon red was my biggest producer. 

No idea what the number is.

912 is a staple anytime anywhere.

213

187

306

 

These work everywhere.

 

The 187 is a true sleeper color.

As uncle Roland always said, 297 only, works everywhere.
