Nepot Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Hi raiders, I am wondering if anyone has ever fished a senko for Cod in dams? I have had successes with bass and EP’s on smaller senkos however I have found some 7-8” senkos that I think could work for cod. I am wondering this as I could see a cod not eating to eat a fast moving flashy lure and instead just wanting to eat a worm. Do you think if it is worth a crack or should I just stick to using “normal” lures? Edited April 12 by Nepot Added information 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirvin21 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I would stick to more traditional lures in a dam In dams the availability of food makes the cod more fussy In smaller rivers the senko maybe worth a shot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hill373737 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I agree with Dave - cod are generally tough to catch in dams but senkos may be an option in a flowing river where you can target specific areas that cod are likely to sit in ambush however if it was me, I'd still be throwing something with more flash and action as I suspect a lot of cod hits are a reaction bite when fishing lures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizardboy Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) G’day Nepot, Interesting topic, I fished wacky rigged senko’s for the first time in Hawaii with a guide in a freshwater river/lagoon for small mouth bass. They worked when nothing else seemed to. I got hold of some and tried in Australia for a few bass and bream successfully but didn’t persist. It seemed they fished well casting close to steep banks with a decent drop but I felt they needed to be fished slower and it was harder to cover much ground. Given the success in Hawaii when nothing else worked I’ve been keen to give them another crack. They should work for cod, I think you just have to find the right scenario. Keen to hear how you have fished them for bass and EP’s? An Aussie bass on a wacky rigged senko from about 10 years ago. cheers, Gus Edited June 21 by Lizardboy Fixed typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepot Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 Hi lizard boy For bass and perch and I rigged some homemade 3" senkos on 1/0 weedless hook and fished they pretty much anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
