I started fishing them this season and all I can say is awsome. It's such a simple idea I keep saying why didn't anyone think of this sooner. Why didn't I think of that. Oh well.

Anyways I fish it weightless with many bites happening on the drop. Once you've casted it pay attention don't leave too much slack in your line. I've fished fished it in the weeds, actually I fly line it, split shot it, dance it on the surface like topwater, and it's awsome jerk bait.

I was startig to get in to fishing the Bass Assins as an alternative to a crank baits after the spawn but once I started fishing the Senko found it swims better than either of them. It's a great twichin bait. I've even started throwing it in saltwater. I've thrown on a several outings and it's produced calico's, white seabass, sandbass, and halibut. I fished it in thick kelp fly lining it. The halibut and sandbass did come off the mud though. I'm sure I the if you drop shot it out there it would be killer but it gets torn up easily makinng it an expensive bait to be throwing like that. I'm going to ask a friend if he can make me some that are harder with a sardine, mackerel, anchovy, or brown bait color for using in saltwater.

Try these you'll like them. Use the shad color or pumpkin seed with a red flake. I've had a lot of luck with blue gill pattern too. Right now with all the heat I would recommend fly lining it and fishing it slow in the grass or off points in early morning or evening even better at night. Good luck.
