Big Bite's Super Stick is the closest I've found to the Senko. They're different from the BBB Trick Stick. Softer formula and more salt. TW has them for about $4.

Yum Dingers are good. The Wave Tiki Stick is my favorite tho. These two are my favorite also.

the yum dingers work really well, and ive had a lot of luck on the big bites! i only use yamamotos during tournaments. another stick bait that is kinda pricey but ive put more kicker fish in the boat with than any other baits is the chompers salty sinkers! they have a ton of salt and garlic scent to them.

I tested the fall rates and actions of several stick baits in the pool. The Yum Dinger, the Kinami Flash, and the Strike King Shim-e-stick had the most similar fall rates and glide/wobble actions.

Super slow if weightless....orrrrrr.....pair it up with our 1/32oz tungsten weight!!! Super deadly!!!! Depleting your local lake of Kicker fish one at a time! You need to stop making all these baits. You will have all my money before long.

Baits with no salt will have better action and wobble than baits with salt, wich makes them less durable with salt also. I make my own plastics without salt and I have really good luck fishing sencos on tx rig with real small weight.

Yamamoto and Kinami are same bait. One comes with more in a pack is all.

Bass Pro Shops wiggles like a Senko when Wacky Rigged, it has a little trouble with the Shimmy TxRigged. I haven't tried the 'other' Big Bites, but the sticks were a little heavy, and hard. By the way, the same company that makes BBB makes Cabela's and Barlow's house brands, iirc. Haven't tried the Dinger lately...
I bought the officially licensed Essential Series mold from Do-It, and have been making some of my own stick baits. In the long run, it is not cheaper than Yamamoto, but I can re-melt, and get some custom color combinations.

I've caught tons of fish on a Dinger.

I understand you losing stick baits after catching a fish or even on the cast when o-ringed. I have actually been doing a different technique when wacky rigging and it has; A. Kept the bait on the hook longer and through more fish. B. Deffinatley more effective than O-rings and customizable, lastly C. More cost effective than o-rings. What I simply do is use heat shrink tubing cut into lengths of 1/4in and put those on my stick style or trick worm baits. Tubing can be bought in generic colors at local hardware stores, or a wide variety of colors online. They hold onto the bait really well and the hook will put a strain on the tubing rather than the bait so it will stay on longer. I know you may be thinking heat and soft plastics don't mix, but don't worry. You are not going to be burning your baits. You are just heating the tube enough for it to shrink onto the bait. Here is a link for a great instructional video to help. The guy even tells you what diameter o-rings to get. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTsZCI5pE0A&feature=share

I have been told the V&M stick bait as a action that is real close to Senko
