I’m not sure of the origins of the name, but the wacky rig is the simplest of them all, and very effective. Why diminish the joys of simplicity by going nuts over color! Just my opinion. Simplicity is one of the most compelling features, if not the most compelling feature, of the Senko worm. I go for one very natural color and something a little brighter and more visually stimulating. Take one dark color, black/blue, then take 2 of whatever color you like. Expect the colors to be seasonal as well. They’ll have favorite colors and suggestions, no doubt.

Find out a little about the local area you are going to fish from local anglers. Problem is, without using a scientific control you cannot attribute your success, or otherwise, solely to the color. If you have a fishless session using the green one, of course, you’ll shy from using it. If you used a red worm and cleaned up over three sessions, of course you’ll swear by it. Yes, many anglers have a color selection they swear by, (especially) the pros. Beyond this, the color imperative starts getting really cloudy. There is a good reason for using a dark color in muddy waters – the profile can be seen a little easier. I try to stick to colors that might resemble the real thing, be it an alive, dead or decaying worm. However, I’ve caught plenty using dark colors in clear water. I choose darker colors for muddy, dirty water and lighter shades for everything else. There is no good scientific ( fish catching) reason that can be put forward for such an outrageous color range other than to lure fisherman. Sorry Mr.ga Yamamoto, but I just can’t help thinking that this is overkill on overkill. With over 100 Senko Worm colors from which to choose, I can’t help but think this is all about shelf space and moving more product. I tend to get a little cynical about the color thing. You will likely get quite a deal less interest, but the strikes you get will be a bigger class of fish.Ĭolors. In the summer, I would strongly recommend the 7 inch for those hunting a much larger class of bass exclusively. Having just harped on about the 5 inch being the only Senko I need, there is an exception. It’s a worm, and even small fish probably don’t feel threatened by a worm half as long as the fish is – in fact, it probably inspires it. People will argue this point, and each to their own but there’s enough of a headache sorting through over a hundred colors without adding sizes.Įven if you’re hunting something small in a creek, I wouldn’t feel the need to size down. Nonetheless, the 5 inch grabbed plenty of interest from a range of sizes, small and large. In a sense, it’s kind of against my theory of biggest baits for biggest fish. I’ve seen remarkably little smallmouth monster the 5 inch and monster bass nail it as well. I think the 5 inch will cover every fish in the target range. For me, this seems a little bit of belts and braces.

The Senko is available in 3,4,5,6 and 7 inches. And they don’t perform at all like a Senko. I expect Yamamoto’s Senko design and the formula is not readily available for others to copy.

The salt, plus unique profile details and the construction materials work in concert to deliver the Senko Worm action. One can only assume the specific quantity is critical and not easily reproduced. The sinking characteristics of a Senko Worm are the result of an injection of salt into the lure.

I tend to think it’s wise to emulate professional habits for better results. These guys CAN fish, and they know their stuff.

Pro anglers are looking to win trophies and make a living. However, if you’re looking for some credibility behind my observations and experience, look no further than the pros. Truth is, they just don’t have the action and therefore the performance of the genuine Senko. I have certainly had success with soft plastic worms that look a lot like Senko, i.e., Senko rip-offs. Before we move any further, I feel it prudent to mention Senko Worm imitations.
