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.

Yamamoto for me. Love the senko and its action when falling. Have tested several brands in the pool and no comparison. I order enough Yamamoto to get free freight. Only need a $50.00 order. I have never paid freight ordering from TW, I didn't know they charged it, sad huh

I use either the Bass pro brand senkos or Big bite baits. Gotta go cheap.... in college! Me too, most of the fish I catch these days are blind in one eye anyways!

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.

The reason Yamamoto's are the best is BECAUSE they are so fragile. That softness allows the shimmy on the fall. That's the real money making characteristic of that bait. It does suck using soft baits that are almost $1 each and last one bite. . .but for me it's worth it. Yamamoto Senkos get bit more. 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.

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"
