I was just wondering is this a manufacturer or a type of lure. also where can I get some. I looked in bass pro catalog but I couldn't find them, I also looked in in cabelas with no luck.Thanks in advance.

The Senko is a brand name, but has become somewhat generic has more companies copy them. It's made by Gary Yamamoto Tackle. Bass Pro Shops sells the same bait, but it's distributed by Gary' son Derek. It's packaged at a different count per bag, thus giving the impression of being lower prices. This bait is called a Kinami Flash. That's the bait you'll have to look for at Bass Pro Shops. I also saw them at Academy's when I was there last night.

There are now many copies, and of course controversy with them. The biggest I've seen/read/heard is whether these other baits fall with the same characteristics as the Yamamoto/Kinami baits due to the high salt content in the originals that the copies can't use due to patents on salt content in baits.

By the way, I bought a few packages of the Kinami Flash at Academy and will do my own research into whether or not they are more or less productive than other copies. I'm just trying to give you an overview. What works for one might not another as it's all a matter of what you fish with the most confidence in.

I hope that clears up some things for you.

just thought i would let you know that olsen's sporting's good's in ft. worth on jacksboro hwy. has the senco's for $5.15, it's the lowest price i've found.also do what kelly say's and watch the brand name's and knock off's. just because it look's like the same bait does not mean it is. f.y.i. olson's has berkley power worm's for $21.00 per 100 count bag,a lot better price than buying 10 at a time

Hey NMbuzzbait, drop me an e-mail.

You might want to check out the Benko's at www.bigbagbaits.com as well. IMHO they work just as well and are less inexpensive.

Twice the plastic baits for 1/2 the price !!

Galyan's at the mall in Frisco carries the Senko's---But as you probably know, Galyan's is real PROUD of all their stuff, especially fishing and hunting equipment--

The Yamamoto Tackle shop in Emory carries EVERYTHING Yahmamoto you could ever need.
