That's going to depend on the fish's mood at the time. I've seen watermelon
work, but then again, pumpkinseed, black and white have produced for me as
well.

Red and Junebug (Kinami Flash stick baits) were working on Okeechobee for the Classic. They were still working this week on Lake
Placid, both of which are stained (tea color). Doc

For the longest time, I couldn't catch clap in a cathouse with a Senko (or
any of the copies). Finally, one day, while fishing boat docks during an
active Fluke bite, I finally ran out. I had some Ice Picks from Jeff at
Cool Lures (http://www.coollures.com).

Out of desperation more than anything else, I put one on and slid it up
under a dock. Letting it fall, I was rewarded with a bite. I caught that
fish and a lot more that day. Over the next few days, I caught more fish on
that soft stick lure. The big problem that I had was that I believe I was
over-working the lure.

While they do have a great erratic, darting action, they seem to do best if
you simply pitch them into the desired area and let them fall on a slack
line. It's that subtle wiggle that they have as they fall that really seems
to trigger a fish's response.

Give them a try, just remember to let the lure do the work.

If I may ask, how do you rig the senkos for shallow( 10-15 ft)? I have used
carolina rig, texas rig etc with worming.

That is the #1 mistake made fishing soft stickbaits - overworking the baits.

Cast bait, take a bite of sandwich, move bait and repeat.

Well It will depend on several things.

I believe a safe bet is pearl whites, Red Shad, Pumpkinseed and Ice colors.

Most productive days were on Ice and Pearl whites.

With the salt content of Senko lures, they're fairly dense and sink pretty
quickly. The two most common ways of rigging are Texas Rigged and Wacky
Rigged. And that's the way I'd fish them in 10-15 feet of water.

Roger that. Most of my catches come on the fall but I also get them by
bumping the bait after it hits the bottom more to test the line to see
if something is on then to work the bait. Just very light short bumps.

The Smoke with black and purple is my favorite color. I also use 8mm
red plastic beads in place of a weight rigged texas style. The bead
slightly floats but does not seem to affect the fall. It does help
when dock fishing by letting the worm bounce and roll off the wood
instead of getting stuck in a crack. The red bead also drives the
bream nuts and I think the commotion causes bass to come over to see
what is going on.

Hope that helps, DC

Just don't give up, keep 'em wet, follow the other advice and you'll catch
fish.
