Now available in new colors: Tactical Twilight (701) and Tactical Shad (434).
Originally developed by Gary Yamamoto, the Senko is the bait that changed bass fishing forever. This deceptively simple stick worm delivers an irresistible, quivering fall that easily catches the attention of nearby fish. Naturally mimicking baitfish or a worm with its composition, the Senko sinks in water with a tantalizing side-to-side shimmy on a weightless rig with zero effort required from the angler.
With its soft plastic formula, this lure offers a lifelike texture that fish hold onto longer to give you the extra second you need to set the hook. Whether you're fishing it wacky-rigged around docks, Texas-rigged through heavy cover, or simply letting it free-fall along a drop, the Senko delivers when nothing else will.
Available in dozens of proven colors in packs of 10. Perfect for beginners and seasoned pros alike.
Common Applications of Senko Bait
The Senko is one of the most versatile baits. Here are some common uses:
- Wacky Rig – Hooked through the middle for a wiggling fall; great around docks, laydowns, and shallow cover
- Weightless Texas Rig – Slow, horizontal flutter fall; ideal for open water and suspended fish
- Weighted Texas Rig – Bullet weight added to punch through heavy grass, timber, and rocks
- O-Ring Wacky Rig – Same as wacky rig but uses an O-ring to protect the bait and extend its life
- Drop Shot – Fished vertically for finicky or deep fish
- Neko Rig – Nail weight inserted in one end creates a stand-up bottom presentation that triggers stubborn fish
- Bed Fishing – Skipped or pitched to visible fish during the spawn

Overpriced
Listen, I love this bait to death, it works, but now it is priced too high, I don't care how good it is, it is not worth $8 for a bag of 10 worms, used to be $6 and that's affordable.

SENKO
Great colors. Very realistic bait that does a great job mimicking bit fish. They produce great bites from fish.
-
Packaging
Great baits but the color and and color number wears off the packaging. Just spent an hour looking thru the color charts figuring out the color codes. Please go back to labels they last.

Senko
Absolutely love the 5" Senko. My favorite is the 955 - Watermelon Black With Red Flake/Light Watermelon With Red And Black Flake. I really wish I could get this color in bulk packs. 100 pack would be awesome. Wink Wink ?

My GoTo Bait!
I've been fishing Yamamoto Senkos for years. My old standard was the 5" Senko and I still use it alot, but I've recently fished a lot of Smallmouth lakes and find they cannot resist the 4" Senko. I rig it the same way I have the 5"ers, but certainly are getting more bites! Absolutely the best color is Black. This year I've have very good luck with the Baby Bass color. I keep an arsenal of maybe 20 colors to use in particular situations! I have also begun using the 6" Senkos when trying for bigger bass. I have used the larger sizes in Florida, but am now trying these in my Northern lakes and the Great Lakes with some good success. You cannot go wrong with the Yamamota brand Senko!
