Which color senko?

Post by fishbonz412 »

Which do you think is the most effective color for a senko in clear water reservoirs during the daytime (assume sunny skies)? I'm talking like Shasta, Oroville, etc. What is your go-to color and your backup? thanks.

With Senkos I have had my best luck, at Oroville, with the 4" or 5" in either the Rootbeer/Green Copper or the Rootbeer/Red. I fish mine Wacky style with a 3/0 wide gap red hook. Good Luck

A favorite of mine and many other folks is #301. #330 isn't bad either.

I agree with Kap 297 green/pumpkin BlK flake for any color water and Junebug for off colored water.

The smoke pearl blue seems to work just fine for me in the clear water lakes such as shasta and oroville.

Clear water- Watermelon with black flake

Stained water - Green Pumpkin with black flake

The majority of senko bass I have ever caught have come with those two colors only.
