Personally I have not found a color that doesn't work. I don't think color it a large factor in this bait! I stick to three groups: dark, light, and tranluscents! Ex: If dark is working I can switch from dark green to black, to dark blue - doesn't matter. The way you fish it, and where you fish it are far more important than color. Personally, color is mostly a head game - someone catches fish on one color and suddenly it it is the magic bait! Nothing else will do! After reading all the different colors mentioned above, it's clear it is all about confidence!

If you aren't worried about price, buy Senko's. If you are worried about price, but you want to catch more fish, buy Senko's. Those are my 2 cents and I'm stickin too it.

I keep to an assortment of 4 brands, Yamamoto, Ghost Baits G-Stick (IT is the most similar of the bunch to the Senko), KGM Flutter (good for smallies, I have not used them much for LM) and if I pick up a pack here in there I will get the Tiki Sticks or som bulk senkos from a company in Texas (forgot name)

Y2Says, please let me know especially how you like the Zero's. I hear they are pretty good but personally haven't tried any. Also, heard alot of good things about the Tiki also. Keep the information coming, I like to see things like this and I'm sure it helps alot of club members. Does anyone worry about Cost?

For LM I like the 5" and SM 4" Yamamoto Senkos. My favorite color for LM is watermelon red flake (I think it's number 218). As for SM I prefer color 176.

I prefer 5" Watermelon Senko's for Largies & Smallies in clear water. In stained water I will throw Junebug or black and Blue.
I found another favorite color but have to keep a secret due to an up and coming Potholes tourney.
Wave worms and Yamamoto's is all I throw.
Good Post Chuck,
Russ

I like the junebug and color 221. I'm trying out the strike king zero right now. Bought them cause they were on sale.

BPS stick-o's do not fall like senkos, they are too stiff. Yum dingers I think are the next best thing to Senko's, though I haven't tryed the tiki's. As for colors, I have an assortment, though the winning Yamamoto color of the 06 Silver lake open seems to be my fav lately, 176 is also great

Wave worms baby tiki stick in honeybun, junebug with a chartreuse tip, and pumpkinseed. Oh did I mention you can get all of these for just 1.50 a pack now at www.wavefishing.com. The reason I prefer wave worms over other brands is because they come scented, and they also make colors/patterns that are far different than any other manufacturer.

Well, we all know that senko's work, whether it be 4" or 5" and yes, some like it bigger. However, what are your favorite colors and colors that work here in the Northwest. Now don't hold back. Also, list your favorite manufacturer. I here there are some knock off's (Yamamoto is the original) that are very similiar in weight, salt and fall. WHO are they and why do you like them?
