5” senko watermelon red. It’s the only color you’ll ever need. Agreed also a dip of the tail in dip n glo.

I would suggest if you've bass fished for 60 yrs and not thrown a wacky worm you have missed out on a lot of fish you could've caught. A wacky rigged stick bait like a Senko is deadly most of the year.
A wacky Zoom Trick worm is also deadly. I like a Lunker City lead nail in the head and a 2/0 worm hook rigged similar to what Wayne P showed above. It will get bit behind folks throwing standard Tx rigs all day.
As far as the color, WM red or GP is all you need.

I've tried it a couple of times with a Senko and a Yum Dinger and had zero success. I'm thinking about throwing a wacky rig this weekend if the weather allows. You need to fish it slow. Don’t impart your own action. Skip it under a dock and let it fall. You will catch fish. I promise. Yep. I caught a bunch last weekend on them and took a non-bass guy out Wednesday with a new spinning reel I helped him pick out. O-ringed a Senko and said cast and let it fall. Period. He caught several nice ones and I was trying faster moving baits and topwaters and didn't catch jack.

Glad you asked! A Zoom Trick Worm in JuneBug or JuneBug Red in stained water , in clear, Watermelon or Watermelon Red.
On a Gamakatsu 4/0 or 3/0 Octopus circle hook less chance of deep throating.

I like a 5” Zman senko on a 1/0 wide gap wacky rig hook. I like their green pumpkin and chartreuse color senko.

Went with a buddy to a good vegetation lake on Saturday and all he thru was a watermelon red flake yum dinger. Boated 29 wacky and weightless tx rig. Never was a fan of them but it changed my mind.
