Anyone ever tried the Gander Mountain brand Senkos? They are cheaper than Yamamoto's and I'd like to save some money but if they don't perform as good I will stick with Garys. Just curious before I dropped some $$ on them...

Most fishing stores sell cans of Garlic spray. I bought a can a few weeks ago at my local Academy.
To Astro77 the Gander Mountain brand of "Senko's" are a little harder than the normal GY's Senko. I've used them with sucess.

I get spray from Academy....and Astro77...I like buying the BPS brand because they sell them in bigger bags/counts....better deal for your buck.

Cabela's makes soft plastics with a garlic scent impregnated. I killed em with they're finesse worm. I'm not sure if all the Go-To stuff has the scent, but I think they do.
 like the man says...if you're swimming in the ocean and get bitten by a shark, its not a shark attack. You're in THEIR neighborhood. If you're at home in your shower, turn around and a shark is in there with you...THAT'S a shark attack

Lake Fork Tackle garlic scented lures hold their scent like no other. Put the rod up for days & you can still smell the scent when you cast the lure.

I've been using them for years. They will catch fish and you can buy a bag of 35 for about 10 bucks.

Garlic Pam cooking spray...a few shots into the bag the night before and you've got pizza all day.

They work just fine. I have had alot of success with the strike king shimmy stick as well. Gary makes a great bait, but unless I find them on clearance, I use the other brands. I also find that the other brands do not tear as bad after being inhaled by a bass.

I keep a jar of garlic, salt and water in my fridge for making sausage. I pour some into a spray bottle and for peanuts I have garlic spray. It's like $7 a can at Academy.
