I agree it’s a great bait since they make it in a lot of sizes. I also think the tube is a great plastic bait. It works for me when the senkos don’t. They are both a great invention.

[@garyplowman5838]

When my other lures don't work I throw a black and blue flake senko and it always produces bass of all sizes. Total agreement with you Randy

[@SAC_5151]

100% spot on! When in doubt … Throw a Senko!!

Nice video Randy. For me growing up in South Florida, it was hands down the 6' and 7 1/2' Culprit Texas rigged worms with a 1/16oz. black bullet wt. with a 2/0 or 3/0 Gamakatsu worm hook. I'm still using them now that I live in P.A. with similar results.

[@hunternixonfishing2500]

Being 74 years old prior to all rubber baits designed, I used night crawlers worms and with a little syringe put a little air in them so they would float. The brightest days we used a black lead head with black buck hair on a size 4 hook with black porkrine

I started fishing again in 2016 after retiring. New to bass fishing. I read a fishing book, and it talked about "Senkos" Gosh, what new fangled thing is this? Then I looked at the date of the book "1994" (I think). I'm 30 years behind everything :)

[@van3158]

Same here brother, Retired a bit ago, but just picked fishing back up 3 years ago, so much to learn.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I'm not a bass guy, I fish in the saltwater. But my biggest bass bit a wacky rigged Googan version of the Senko. It was a 3.64 lb spotted bass in Lake Norman, nothing impressive. But what is interesting to me is that now something similar to the Senko is catching on in the saltwater. I just got a pack of Salt Strong Polk County Tweekers (yes that's really the name 😂) and they're a little more tapered at the ends. And they have dimples like a golf ball, supposedly for longer casts. They're intended to be used on jig heads or weedless weighted hooks or Texas Eye type swinging heads with weedless EWG hooks. But I bet I could get redfish to eat them wacky rigged if I can see the fish. I'll try it if I can find some reds I can sight cast to. And I also think a wacky rig would catch flounder. Right now I have a hard time finding the fish to catch them.

[@mikespencer6261]

For me it’s a swim jig with a rage bug as a trailer. I can jig/drag on the bottom, reel fast, fish heavy cover, skip it under docks and low trees. Literally can do almost everything with it.

[@stevefisher2121]

Ok, I stopped the video and I'm gonna say that most people would guess the jig but I'm gonna say the good old plastic worm???

[@van3158]

I have never caught a single thing on a senko 🤷‍♂️ crankbaits and dark sleepers are my jam.

4" finesse worms and spinnerbaits for me👍

[@jonbullard7074]

Agreed

[@tommymckiddy7872]

[@castandchill]

[@charlierobertson3432]

Plastic worm has to caught more bass than anything else. As far as lures go no other lures has put more bass in the boat, or bank than the H&H spinner bait. And at night my money is the jitterbug. Remember, you said all-time.

[@tylermims]

I would have guessed a jig or Senko. I remember fishing the Lunker City Slug-Go as a kid prior to the release of the Senko.

[@ZZ430T56]

OMG! Might be the first time we agree on something ;)

[@andybales7318]

IMO, a spinnerbait is the most versatile bass bait...can catch fish from top to bottom, open water to heavy cover, cold water to warm water, clear water to muddy

[@spikymikie]

I have to agree. I have caught more bass the last 50 years on spinnerbaits then all other lure combined. Everything from waking them on the surface to dragging a "thumper" on the bottom. My biggest largmouth came on a spinnerbait, (10.2). And my second biggest smallmouth (6.8). And for night fishing, its my favorite.

[@therealkosmora229]

Spinners dont get anything close to what plastics get me. Might get some 2 pounders but a 5 inch craw is getting them 4 - 5 pounders

Just at the start, I’m guessing a 5 inch senko/stickbait.

[@matthall8378]

A wacky rig is my top catcher but a bitsy bug/rage menace trailer rigged like a bluegill imitation has been 2nd best!

[@jordangourley3955]

The senko obviously.

[@GrandLakeUnderWaterAdventure]

For me personally my all time favorite bass lure I ever used was the Torpedo. I caught my first bass and my first crappie (the crappie was and still is my pb). It was the first lure my dad got me when he bought me a snoopy dog fishing pole back in 92 or 93. I loved hitting clear water ponds that had grass in shallows and I'd look for big ol round open spots especially when bass were on beds and popping that Torpedo over the opening and watching it just get destroyed.

[@borbonic]

It's the one that caught me my most memorable fish.

[@rootwad]

Yo i would love to see a video "Over dozen ways to fish a soft plastic stick bait"!!!

[@edwardcowan7012]

I think I could make a pretty good case for a jig. A Spinnerbait is pretty solid and predates both and I’ve probably caught more fish on one than any other bait. I could probably do all my fishing with a Senko, Spinnerbait and Jig since I catch about 90% of my bass on those three baits.

[@mikeharris130]

It's impossible to fish a Senko incorrectly. ALWAYS have one tied on.

[@luke_8_17]

So, hypothetically, $250K fishing tournament, you can only use 1 lure, whats your choice? I will choose a spinner over a worm or crank bait any day of the week.

[@fishlipps1952]

Maybe one of the most versatile, but, "The No. 1 Bass Lure Of All-Time" is a bit too much of a stretch.

[@shawnmcdonald7765]

Sinko is just a knock off of the slugger imo, I agree though it’s a go to bait for sure.

[@txhuntsman]

My heart wants to say spinnerbait......but the truth is it's the Senko, stick bait, plastic worm, whatever you want to call it. It's the top dog IMO.

[@Nate_Higgins]

I think ypur right. Last week i was fishing a shakeyhead with a trickworm like normal. No bites. I put a Berkley General on the shakey, and got bit on my first cast.

[@robertdtimmerman]

In all my years of fishing, I can count on one hand the # of fish I have caught on a stick bait, and two of them were on a wacky rig. I normally fish it Texas rigged but I just don’t do any good with it. And not just a stick bait worm….No worm bait of any size does any good in the ponds I fish. It’s another bait I call a “boat only” lure. Just don’t have any confidence in it fishing from shore like I do.

[@arngreencare8955]

Plastic worm. Now let's what Randy says...

[@MarkBurrell-po2sp]

I’ll give you the top three of all time. Banjo minnow, Helicopter Lure, Gatorbait

[@philipfalco7304]

When I lived in Florida, I caught thousands of Bass, Tarpon, Peacock and Snook on the 5' Original Banjo. The Blue Shad was my favorite. I still have several hundred's of them and even though I keep them in Ziploc Bags, they're a little dry.

I tried that YELLOW Faced Lure on your Click Bait........Was the VERY Best ever please Mfg that for us....Jer C!

[@robertmotherwell1587]

Senko

[@mistertwister1816]

The Senko's introduction and its simplicity devastated traditional tackle makers and forced many into bankruptcy. It took years for the industry to recover. It severely damaged fish populations, too. People who couldn't fish before immediately started catching fish by simply putting a hook into a Senko and casting. I sure hope that FFS and the jighead minnow don't result in the same devastation.

[@DavidFernandez-en2gl]

The same. Spinnerbait or worm. Pretty much all my fish come from different styles of fishing a worm
