They have different prices for a reason




So Steez, using that analogy the higher the price the better the product ?[/quote]

Sometimes.

Yum products are lightweight, low salt, rubbery junk.
Senkos....well, they are what they are....expensive and very good and very consistent.
Stick-O from BPS is a slightly less expensive, good alternative when Senkos are sold out. Of course when comparing prices at BPS, Stuck-Os are are GREAT value compared to Senkos. Since BPS sells senkos significantly above suggested retail.


And, like previously stated, the differences are only noticed on weightless setups. Add a weight, and the cheaper the better. But, even then, I only have senkos in the boat. [/quote]

You sound like you eat pop corn one piece at a time [/quote]

I actually do. I take bites of one piece at a time. [/quote]

I fish my stickbaits almost exclusively weightless.

I�ve had the best luck with strike king shimee sticks, sinkos and yumdingers in that order.

Found the Ochos on clearance once at cabelas and bought nearly every bag left. Haven�t caught a fish on one yet. Was catching fish last week on the shimee stick, figured I�d better save the few I had left for tournament day so switched to same color ochos and didn�t get another bite.

Bps are not as flexible as Yamamoto out of the package. If you kneed the bps they become very soft and flexible and have much more action.

You really need to do it firmly to activate the salt and get the action. If your doing it right you�ll tear a few.

You must not have had the same color I did or fished it the same way I do. Evidently people are catching fish on all these different brands cause they keep making them and selling them. KVD uses Ocho's and seems to be doing well with them.

I love these also and can find them marked down from time to time at Academy, that tail is real good and when they break that tail end works good on the Ned rig.

I like & use them all. One of the most underrated stickbaits is the Wave Worm Tiki Stick

I like the Big Bite stuff. Works well, cheap, and you can buy it in 100pks.

Yep.... love those ^^^

Wasn't the difference in senkos the fact they had sand in them also? Seems like that was what I heard back when they were new

Johnny Morris Chinese made [censored] will never catch more Bass than a Gary Yamamoto Senko

yep

Senko cause the other two literally stink.

Agree on the Tiki Stick.

Mister Twister Comida is a great bang for the buck as a rival for the Senko. Texture, density, and weightless action is better than both the Yum and BPS offerings...

I will Take all those Junky Yum Dingers that you guys don't want lol
