There’s a Senko in the lineup for every possible application and for every angler, from the first-timer to the tour-level pro.

Review: An Essential Soft Plastic for Bass Fishing - The Gary Yamamoto 5" SENKO BLACK W/ BLUE LAMINATE #317** is a must-have in any bass angler’s tackle box. Its simple yet effective design and lifelike action make it one of the most versatile and productive soft plastics I’ve ever used. Pros: Versatile and effective: The 5" SENKO is incredibly versatile and can be rigged in multiple ways, including wacky, Texas, and weightless rigs. I’ve had great success fishing it weightless, letting it slowly sink and flutter in the water column. Its subtle yet realistic fall is irresistible to bass, and I’ve found it works in both clear and murky water. Lifelike action: What sets the SENKO apart is its unique density and design, which gives it a lifelike action even with minimal movement. When rigged weightless, it has a slow, natural fall that mimics a baitfish or worm, triggering reaction bites from bass. The soft texture also makes it easy for fish to hold onto the bait longer, increasing your hookup ratio. Durable yet soft: Despite being soft and flexible, the SENKO holds up well to multiple catches. While soft plastics tend to wear down quickly, I’ve been impressed with how many fish I’ve caught on a single worm. The material is durable enough to last several casts and catches, but soft enough to maintain that all-important lifelike action. Great color combination: The Black with Blue Laminate (#317) color scheme is one of my favorites, especially in low-light conditions or stained water. The contrast between the black and blue creates a profile that bass can easily spot, making it particularly effective in cloudy or murky waters. Overall Experience: The Gary Yamamoto 5" SENKO is hands down one of the most effective baits I’ve ever used for bass fishing. Its versatility and lifelike action make it perfect for a variety of fishing situations. Whether you’re targeting shallow or deep water, the SENKO’s slow, natural fall triggers bites when other baits don’t. The Black with Blue Laminate color has been a game-changer for me, especially in low-visibility conditions. While it’s a bit more expensive and can wear out after a few catches, the results speak for themselves. This bait consistently catches fish and has earned a permanent spot in my tackle box. Tips for Use: Try different rigging methods: The SENKO is highly versatile. Try using it weightless, wacky rigged, or Texas rigged, depending on the fishing conditions. The different rigging methods can produce a variety of actions, which helps adapt to what the bass are biting on that day. Use O-rings for wacky rigging: To extend the life of your SENKOs when wacky rigging, use an O-ring. This helps prevent the worm from tearing when you set the hook and makes your bait last longer. Fish it slow: The real magic of the SENKO is in its subtle, natural fall. Don’t rush your retrieve—let it sink slowly, and the action will do the work for you. Review: Killer bass bait! - You can always trust Gary Yamamoto to make baits that catch bass. These senko worms are killer Texas rigged on a shouldered worm hook. This is one of the colors that works best on our lake. There are many colors, and you should not hesitate to try several to see what works well where you fish. I find the ones with embedded sparkles particularly effective on very sunny days. Pay attention to the length. They come in four and five inch sizes. You'll need different size hooks for the different size baits. We are up north and so the bass don't get as big as they do down south. I mostly use the 4-in ones unless I'm fishing very deep, hoping to catch a epic one, and then I like to jig the 5 in along the bottom. You can fish them weighted or not. This is my go to bass bait. Hope they work as well for you as they do for me! ## Features - GREAT FISHING BAIT - The 5" Senko is a staple in the fishing world; The original soft-plastic stickbait is the #1 choice of anglers everywhere; The Senko has spawned thousands of imposters, but nothing beats the original soft stick bait - UNMATCHED QUALITY - Versatility is a key attribute of the Senko, allowing it to be fished in a multitude of ways that all end up putting more fish in the boat; The only wrong way to fish a Senko is to not fish with the original Senko - PERFECT FISHING LURE - The ORIGINAL soft stick bait is the bar by which all others are measured; The secret sauce to the Senko fishing bait is the formula; We invented it; We perfected it; And no one else has ever gotten close to it - BEST CHOICE FOR ANGLERS - Beyond the perfect design and formula lies the Senko's ease of use; There's almost no wrong way to rig it, and whatever your preferred way is, the Senko soft fishing bait is the ultimate fish catcher - SENKO SERIES - There's a Senko in the lineup for every possible application; Whether you fish it weightless, wacky-style, on Texas or Carolina rig, on shaky head or flipping jig, this slab of plastic will revolutionize your game and increase your catches ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00W3UJ204 | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,669 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #49 in Fishing Soft Plastic Lures | | Brand Name | Gary Yamamoto | | Color | Watermelon Slice Laminate | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (915) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00783670148882 | | Included Components | 5" SENKO WATERMELON SLICE (10 PACK) | | Item Dimensions | 1 x 1 x 1 inches | | Item Type Name | 5" SENKO WATERMELON SLICE (10 PACK) | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Yamamoto | | Material Type | Plastic | | Number of Pieces | 10 | | Point Style | Spear Point | | Size | 5 Inch (Pack of 10) | | Target Species | Bass | | UPC | 783670148882 | | Unit Count | 10.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gary Yamamoto - **Color:** Watermelon Slice Laminate - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Ounces - **Material:** Plastic - **Size:** 5 Inch (Pack of 10) ## Images ![Gary Yamamoto YAM - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gObDbVzyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Essential Soft Plastic for Bass Fishing *by B***N on September 29, 2024* The Gary Yamamoto 5" SENKO BLACK W/ BLUE LAMINATE #317** is a must-have in any bass angler’s tackle box.
