I have always used and had success with the original Senko but agree with the lack of durability. Every time I watch Bill Wilcox on Honey Hole he is catching them on the BPS Stik-O version. Says he's not sponsored by them and has to pay for them like the rest of us. He buys them in the 30 pack for under $10. I'm gonna do a little on the water testing for myself. If they work great but if not I won't be changing.

I agree with this too. Great point.

I use Senkos exclusively, but wacky rig them with about a 1/4" of 1/4" shrink wrap tubing pulled up to the egg sac. They last a LOT longer that way. I've caught as many as 6 fish before the Senko gets at all worn. I use a #2 or #4 hook and light line with this rig.

I always loved Tiki Stix. Best all around stick bait ever made. I think the only place you can still get them is at Tackle Warehouse/

I still have some of the super salt "Senko recipe" tiki stix. They all catch fish. I personally like the dingers more than the senko.

+1 on the rigging the BPS Stick-O with a small weight. I've had great success fishing it T-Rigged with a light tungsten weight. Consistently catches solid fish. Not as crazy about it weightless.

If you take his money you can reinvest in the mysterious power of the Yamasenko

I personally like the Ochos but if it's weightless you can't touch a senko. We've tried quite a few different ones and the senior just catches more.

I agree. I like Yum dingers wacky rigged the best although I also throw the Senko wacky rigged in a few select colors that Yum doesn't make. TIki sticks, Hyper sticks, Snake-O's, and the pocket rocket I throw Tx. rigged weightless.

I've had great luck for years with the Stick O. I don't know if they are any better or worse than Senko's, I've haven't fished with a Senko enough to know if there is a difference. No need to spend extra money when you have something that works.

Senko and Kinami Flash hands down the best they do get spendy tho I really like yum dingers and they make a color just like the 330 Yamamoto green pumpkin w/purple and bronze flake I nail weight mine alot with an o ring neko rig style shallow to 45' its a limit and big fish bait...

Thanks guys were gonna have a stickbait battle saturday. Im using 5 inch senko. He will be using the bass pro sticko. 5inch also. We will see

Yep, X1

I use Stick-O's 90% of the time, they last a lot longer
than the Senko.

The only time use Senko's is when i'am
tournament fishing..

There is no comparison IMO. The senko will out fish all other stick baits.
