Jigs Vs Senko

[bassin is addicting]

senko....wacky..  

i fish 95% from the bank and just seem to get hung up and lose jigs.

i want to learn to fish jigs since it seems they catch more quality fish but from the bank they are more of a head ache.   >

jigs are fun to fish but senkys win :-?

[wormsnufsaid]

ya sure senkos catch a lot of fish but the day senkos catch more quality fish  than jigs will be the day i throw all my worms away

but the day senkos catch more quality fish than jigs will be the day i throw all my worms away

I love jig fishing but i chose the senko only because i really cant imagine life without them.

Jig seems to catch bigger fish for me.

That's what I was thinking  ;D

Looks like the poll is almost split 50%

I took the jig, having to choose. But these are 2 difrrent baits, 2 different uses. I always have both tied on. If you had both that would have been my choice.

The jig without a doubt. It is my favorite lure to fish #1....it has caught me 2 out of 3 of my largest bass #2....and around here everyone and their mother uses senkos, so I am tired of seeing them..no one uses jigs by me..#3...

Definitely a Jig. Its suits my style. I can fish fast and cover water extremely well. The biggest factor to me is that it brings a level of confidence to me. Not because of the old " it catches more quality fish" but because when I do have a jig bite on then the elements are in my favor and I feel like I have a chance to win. Its just the opposite if bite is a slow drag across points with a c-rig, I wouldn't feel as though I was the top guy in that contest.

another reason I chose jigs...I don't fish senkos

Definatelly a jig.  I don't fish Senkos too much.  Even though they do work, they are hard to fish fully weightless in 20 feet of water, and the lakes I fish rarely hold fish in water less than 10 feet deep.  They don't seem to work as well Carolina rigged, or Texas rigged.

Jigs, senkos catch fish, but they are limited.  IE can't bust through mats of vegetation.  If the fish are wanting a craw and senko will not work, but you can swim a jig to make it look like bait fish.  I like the senko, used to call them stinkos, but jigs are more versatile IMO.

for me i've caught more fish on the Senko but the jig has produced bigger fish.tough call     SENKO all the way

Without a doubt..a JIG of course!

Jigs are more versatile, catch more big fish, and produce far more consistently.

(for me, at least)

 

I'm not a big jig guy, but why do you think jigs are more versatile? A jig is pretty much

a senko with a weight. You can add a weight to a senko. Aside from having a skirt,

which not all jigs have, what does a jig do any differently than a weighted senko?

Brush jig with craw trailer dragged along has added action/attraction. If I'm going with a worm, it's a trick worm or cut-r, for the same reason, added action/attraction. Seldom reach for a plain ol' stick worm (senko-style). I'm seldom fishing water over 5 feet deep, FWIW.
