Have been using them for years. Theyre the best. Have tried some of the other stik baits but found out very quickly they don ’ t cut it. Switched to Senko on a full time basis when I found out I didn ’ t have to keep chasing the newer jig, swim bait, spinner et- al. Senko always works.

Love using the senko worms. Does not matter which size 5 or 6 attract the fish. I am consistently catching fish everytime out. They have the best action over all other worms. I have and would recommend them to everyone.

Everyone knows these are hard to find. This is about an 85% copy of that other brand that everyone wants. It ’s slightly bigger at 19mm. The legs have decent or “ good enough ” action.

At first I was very skeptical about the googan baits but I decided to give a few different styles a try. The bandito bug has turned into my favorite flipping creature/craw soft plastic. Whether it ’s a pegged texas rig, jig trailer or my favorite... a Picasso wobble head. It always catches fish. When I first saw the bait in person, I thought it was too little for the lakes I fish but once I saw the action under water, I was very surprised at how wide those back legs kicked.. it gave it a larger appearance which was perfect. And that scent is amazing. Stays strong until the bait is unable to use. And yes, they are a little soft and can break easy but that ’s the price you pay for a bait with good action.

TommyT098
I bought these and landed about 10 fish( missed about 30) in only about 2 hours. One tip, if you buy from dicks, go in store and do the price match guarantee and only pay$ 6 rather than$ 7 for them. Other wise great baits and caught tons of fish, but they rip easily.

TLFL
When the saucy swimmers came out, I thought, why not give them a try. I 'm glad did. Nothing is the scent something the fish seem to lock on to, they are extremely durable. I used to use strike king rage swimmers and they were decent, but if I can catch on 6- 7 fish per bait on average with the googan baits, versus 2- 3 with strike king its a no brainer. I live in Florida and electric shades is the color of choice for me. Buy them 3 packs at a time and save. Want to save more? But them direct from googan baits website, buy 6 picks and get free shipping.# googanbaits

When fishing at dams, anglers often prefer baits that mimic the natural food sources of fish in the area. Popular options include dough baits, soft baits, and plugs that can attract various species. The choice of bait can depend on the target fish, water conditions, and time of year.
The water flow at a dam can significantly influence fish behavior and feeding patterns. In areas with strong currents, using baits that can withstand the flow and stay in the strike zone is essential. Conversely, in calmer waters, lighter baits may be more effective in enticing fish.
Dough baits are often favored for their versatility and ability to hold scent in the water, attracting fish from a distance. They can be easily molded to fit hooks and can be used in various fishing techniques. Additionally, dough baits are effective for catching species like trout and panfish, which are commonly found near dams.
Using soft baits effectively at dams often involves varying your retrieval speed and technique to mimic the movement of prey. Anglers may choose to use a slow, steady retrieve or incorporate pauses to create a more enticing presentation. Experimenting with different depths and areas around the dam can also increase your chances of success.
Seasonal changes can greatly affect fish behavior and bait preferences. In warmer months, fish may be more active and responsive to vibrant, scented baits, while in cooler months, they might prefer more subtle options. Understanding the seasonal patterns of the fish species you're targeting can help you select the most effective bait.
