Jigs Vs Senko

[Steven Ladner]

A 6" senko will easily catch them for me. Since it's 6" instead of 5", I catch more quality fish.

[Jordan Goehring]

Definitely both!

"Just one" would have to pick the jig because

it is much more versatile. I only fish the Senko

and other weightless baits is water <12' deep.

A jig can be fished both shallow and deep.

Slap on a bullet wieght or bullshot and you can fish senkos deep aswell, not only t-riged but wacky as well. Just my 2 cents

[roadwarrior]

Well, the shimmy, horizontal fall and slow speed combine to

create the magic of the Senko. If I'm using a weight, I'm using

something else. A T-rigged Kut Tail is the proxy.

Poll is closer then I thought it would be. :-?

A senko, because i cant catch fish on jigs...for me a senko produces and a jig doesnt

[aceman387]

i always use senkos eve though this past winter i bought some jigs and have never taken the time to try them this summer , shame on me because after seeing these posts i see alot of you guys catch have great success with them .i plan on educating myself  about them.

Jigs for me....if I'm fishing for fish that might be attracted to a senko style offering, I am using using a keel weighted hook on high action soft plastic that gives it a slow horizontal fall which is often more attractive to the fish and allows this presentation to catch as many or more, and often bigger fish.

IMO, it is the fall rate, subtle action and size of the offering that gets their attention. When you add any variety of creature style baits available, I feel it improves the attraction qualities.

Keel weighted softies are just now becoming more understood and being utilized to their greatest benefits as they can provide much more variety to the "Slow fall Game"

You can also use superlight jigs with a larger high action trailer and slow the fall rate considerably which gives you additional versitility when the fish want something falling thru the water column slowwww.

Many of us see the jig as a bottom bumper or dragger but it is much more versitile than that

I had to think on this for a bit but I went Senko. Which made it a perfect 50-50 split at the time.

[RoLo]

I prefer finesse fishing to all else, but even for me, fishing the stick worm is just TOO boring

Of course, there's also the option of fishing a stick-worm on a jig, but as Big-O pointed out.

there are many superior slow-falling plastics to use in conjunction with jigs and belly-weighted sinkers.

A Jig, Hands Down !

Jig, I seem to get bigger fish on my jigs vs. the senko.

[tnbassfisher]

I have more experience with fishing Senkos.

[iceintheveins]

The senko catches better numbers than a jig so that's why I picked it. A jig catches bigger bass for sure on average though.

[roadwarrior]

As the poll indicates, the correct answer is both!

[Delaware Valley Tackle]

I voted jig due to versatility, just for the sake of the discussion. In reality I think each has it's time and place. As for dinks, I've caught my biggest of the year on a weightless 4" senko and my smallest on a crankbait that, if it were real, could have eaten the fish!

[senile1]

If I could only fish one, it would be the jig.

[Fishing Rhino]

Boy, does this question pose a dilemna for me.

Frequently I use both.

By the way, I've also used a Flappin Hog on these hooks.  Rig it so the ball on the hook becomes a head for the flappin hog, with the nose of the hog tight to the ball, and the hook protruding from the hog almost at the end of its body.

Tried it a couple of days ago, and the bass loved it.

It also works well with finesse worms rigged the same way.

As an aside, the brush guard is more of a pain.  It's in the way for rigging certain ways, and at times, has to be bent out of the way to unhook a fish.

By the time it has caught a dozen or so fish, the guard is usually gone.

Zappu makes a similar hook, and sells them with or w/o the brush guard.

[SwimbaitDave]

Jig for me. They are more versatile in the water that I fish. Plus IMO they are more fun to fish.

[Captain Rhino]

Jig with a senko...?

[J Francho]

90% of the time, Jig.  Here's why:

The other 10%, well that would be for the spawn....

[Shimmer]

It must just be the area I'm fishing, but I bought 25-30 jigs different sizes, colors etc. and I lost all of them over a span of about 2 weeks without a single fish :-? I catch fish all the time on everything but a jig. All I seem to catch is snags /shrug.

Vote Senko

[boomdigity]

Senko for me most of the tournement bass I have caught have come from Senkos.

[Siebert Outdoors]

Definitely the jig. The jig catches big fish consistently and can be worked in the water column from top to bottom and around a variety of cover

cant beat that answer. 8-)

[D4u2s0t]

Definitely the jig. The jig catches big fish consistently and can be worked in the water column from top to bottom and around a variety of cover

are you saying that you can't work a worm from top to bottom, and around a variety of cover?

This thread is depressing...
