Where to fish it: Isolated cover seems to work best for me when Im fishing a prop bait

Our testing results: Average catch rate vs live shiners: 78% as effective (the highest of any artificial bait tested) Best rig: Wacky rig on a 1/0 Gamakatsu Wacky hook, 8 lb fluorocarbon Best colors: Green pumpkin (clear water), watermelon red flake (stained), black/blue (muddy) Sinking speed: ~1 foot per second (the "magic" fall rate that triggers reactionary strikes) The only downside: Senkos tear easily
