The subtle actioned soft plastic that changed the world! Few lures can compare to the Senko when it comes to fish-catching on literally any rig. This our complete Gary Yamamoto Senko review.
- Available in 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 inches
- Stickbait
- Irresistible horizontal falling action that simply drives fish crazy
- Gets more bites than just about any other lure on the market and is simple to fish for anglers of all levels
Reasons to buy
- The original soft stickbait that changed the face of bass fishing especially when it comes to enticing finicky bass to bite
- Customers who have rated this product rave about its fish catching ability, especially when fished on a weightless Texas or wacky rig
- Because this stickbait is relatively heavy, it is an absolute dream to cast on a baitcasting setup
- Subtle, natural action on the fall. The beauty of this action is that it grabs the attention of active bass while still being an attractive presentation to pressured, finicky fish. It can literally be fished all year round with great success
- Many customers say that this is the bait they turn to when the bite really gets tough
- Suitable to just about any rigging technique including weightless, wacky, Texas rig, carolina rig, shaky head and just about anything else you can think of. The only limit is your imagination
- Impressive durability, you can expect to catch many fish on the same worm making it pretty cost effective
Reasons not to buy
- It's not the cheapest stickbait on the market but its durability makes up for this to an extent
- Fishing a senko is going to be pretty boring for people who prefer power fishing techniques. The reality is that this is a bait that is more suited to finesse presentations to entice pressured bass that are not biting other lures

Bottom Line
This is one of the most powerful fish catchers on the market. It may not be the most exciting lure to fish and it certainly requires a little patience, but it is tough to beat when it comes to putting fish in the boat/on the bank especially when it comes to catching pressured/finnicky bass.
It is a little more pricey than some of the other stickbaits on the market but its durability more than makes up for this according to the customers who use it. If you want to have a go to lure on the boat that will save you from blanking on those slow fishing days, put a few bags of these in the boat.
