It all boils down to a variation of the following five colors
I stick to variations of these basic colors when throwing plastic worms as well. They have all caught me a lot of bass. Regardless if it's light conditions I seem to have more luck with darker shades.
These are my favorite colors for day or night (mostly night) 1. Cinnamon/purple flake 2. Watermelon/red flake 3. Black/blue flake 4. Purple/emerald flake 5. Pumpkin/black flake Although the senko is no where near a big fish bait for me, I seem to get better fish on the 4" and the quality decreases as I use the bigger baits :)
I've caught the most fish by far on black with blue fleck. I agree with Jerry that it doesn't seem to matter what the water conditions are the fish just like this bait in dark colors. June bug is my sencond pick. keep fishin'
I fished Barret last month and caught fish on everything, but the senkos (in any color) were catching fish 3 to 1 over any other bait. Is it the salt? or the thickness? also we lost the lure almost every time when the fish jumped, they sink so fast we only retrieved a few, we lost over 100 of these that day. My question is...Can the bass poop them out????lol....Because I know the odds are they didn't even hit the bottom.....Dumb question maybe but would like to know........
I can tell you that the bass in our aquarium have passed everything from Senkos to 7" Mission Fish. Don't know how the baits ever got in the tank...LOL. But it's interesting to see how their stomachs absorb all the salt out of a bait and then let it pass through their system. They also have regurgitation abilities that rival those I had during my college years=too much MGD...LOL.
As to Senko colors it's: 1. #912 Watermelon/Green Pumpkin Laminate 2. #008 Oxblood Red Flake (BWW exclusive) 3. #208 Watermelon Red Flake 4. #021 Black/Blue Flake 5. #187 Milky Salt and Pepper
Color matters less to me than the action. Senko imitations make no sense to me, why buy a knock-off when the original is available? Deal with the fraility of the bait, salt makes it work.
