Bassinfool Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 They stand up really well and since there is no salt to stiffen them up you don't need to add any softener unless you just want to. Works really well when the fish want a bigger profile worm but something subtle at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robalo01 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I use the longer skinny ones. They work like a really think finesse worm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 The standard 5.3" and the skinny one both work well for me on the back of a 1/2 oz wobble head. Very rocky, no vegetation in lake. Keep it moving along the bottom. My wife C rigs it and drags behind the boat. Works well once we zero in on the right depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Whatever you do, definitely don't thread it up the shank of a finesse jig. Definitely doesn't work for big spots in rocky areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 surprisingly the stand up stick bait works great. i use soft plastic with no salt, the tail gets crazy action. i think any mold/size will work about as well as any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverotter Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 DANG thought I was the only one who made senkos that don't sink. I use a little salt in mine just because I think bass around here need some sodium in there diet. add your favorite scent and your good to go.
