How desperate do you have to be?

One of my best fish-catching baits is a 6-inch Senko. They no longer offer the 6-inch in my favorite color (5-inch is still available) so I ordered a custom run of this color. I ordered through a tackle dealer but I have to buy the whole batch of about 1500-1600 baits. It'll take up to three months to get. I decided to get them bagged in lots of 50.
It's helped me win big bass in several tournaments the last few years, so I have no choice. My son thinks I'm crazy. He's probably right.

I'd do it in a heartbeat. Your son thinks you're crazy but have you told your wife yet? Hard to hide a shipment of 1500 worms.....

Go with your confidence. Go with your gut. But don't let your wife put your mind in a rut! Sell some on the TFF if you have to.

Gambler has the same requirement. You've gotta order 50lbs for them to do a special run.
I'm a little too flaky to order 1500 lizards.

List half for sale on here each time you need to order. 800 should still last you a long time.

Just curious. . .the 5" ones won't do the trick?
I'm all about ordering custom and in bulk, I've really narrowed my plastics down over the last year and most of my stuff is getting custom poured now.

Hard to think of a fishing equipment question where "don't buy it" is the right answer. Go for it.

Or, another option. Quick torch-type lighter. Buy a couple of bags and extend the 5" to 6" by melting parts together...

The Wave 10" ribbon tail worm in green pumpkin red flake was my favorite worm. When they quit making them I purchased all I could find. I have over 2200 stored in boxes in my reloading room.

The six inch is just a little heavier than the 5 inch. It casts better, falls differently, and you can use it for pitching too. I know there are some reselling restrictions but when I get them, I'll sell a bunch. (Color # 238) I've melted my old ones back together so many times I can't fix them any more. Getting Senkos to fall just right is the secret. Edit update Check out my blog: The Perfect Rod and Reels for Fishing Senkos

Sounds like something I would do.
