I use the strike king version. Love em. Not sure if they even make them anymore, cause I bought a bunch of em at Gander Mountain on closeout years ago.

I only use GY senko, for rigging I use these and they work great.

I have never paid freight ordering from TW, I didn't know they charged it, sad huh

Yamamoto is still the best, but i am not above throwing something else at times. On tourney days, it has to be the real deal.

I can sure identify with FACSR and others trying to dodge shipping fees. Ha!

I go on TW, other sites too, fully intending to cobble together an order just enough to put me over the "free shipping" hurdle, yet as best I recall for almost every order, I have managed to spend an additional $50 or more to save $5.

My vote goes to Yamamoto's Senko but I like everything I have ever bought from Keitech really well, too. And, local to Fort Worth, KC Injection Baits make a really great Senko alternative.

My buddy taught me...."Texas rig in the head, Texas rig in the tail, wacky worm." Three fish for each Yamasenko.

For me, the real McCoy works better than any of the knock offs.

Then again, for the most part I only fish private lakes of my own design.

Talon Bling sticks have replaced most of the Yamamoto Senkos in my arsenal, I still keep a few bags of Senkos in colors I cant get the Bling Stix in. thumb

Yamamoto Senkos of course, anytime on the water, we use $400 reel on a $400 rod and we question
a $6-$8 item? LOL BTW Walmart-$6.36 Bass Pro-$8.79 for the 5"
