My smack tackle survey gave me a good response as to what cranks and lipless lures to use in an area where shad is the primary forage. So now am gonna ask the bass pros which plastic worms will land the most bass. Thanks for the advice in advance.
I hate fishing rubber worms, but Senko's make it worth it.
Althought I will say stock up. They are somewhat brittle.
The amount of salt in them makes them break easily.
I went through an entire package of them in 2 outings last year, and they were the only ones I had. Tried a knock off version of them that I was able to find near the place we were fishing and they sucked in comparison.
if your fishing a worm to drag, ones that float are usually far more productive. look for ones that claim to float. if it does not say one way or another, its a crap shoot. senkos are awesome, the key to making them last is make sure you are setting the hook only when bass strike it. if your tearing into hook sets everytime you feel a nibble from a bluegill, you will ruin them in no time, sometimes without having caught a fish.
Senko's are a money bait but don't over look the pre rigged "bass stopper" worms.
Those cheap $1.50 worms flat out catch bass. In a farm or local pond thats the first bait I go to- add a split shot 18 in up the line--twitch-twitch --BAM
The big bass in the avitar pic fell victom to a purple bass stopper worm.
