Cheaper Senko

[Manxfishing]

 

Well the GY senko's are really getting to be outrages these days

Bass pro has them for 7.99 a bag and even [REMOVED - see No Links Policy List] is 7.49
They do catch fish

But I'm in search of a cheaper senko these days

So who fishes another brand? And do they work better then the GY's

I like Van Dam's Ochos by Strike King. Very supple, great action, and KVD really does use them. I know he's sponsored but, he does use them. Caught a lot of fish on them myself. Need to use the O-ring though. They are very soft.

Try the nemesis sicko

Try the nemesis sicko

I have
They are soft
The color was just wrong for me. And they were more money then the GY
last year?

Komodo Dragon: hand-poured brand out of South Bend. impregnated scent. Soft, but more durable than Yamamoto.

$4.25 per 10

I like the Nemesis Sickos as well.  Softer...so they don't last for so long...but they do have a great action...even wacky rigged.  I guess it's a trade off...softer, good action...fish throw them off easily...but they are cheaper overall.  Do like the colors though.

Yum Dinger and Wave Tiki sticks. 20 counts for $2.99 On-Line. A little trick to getting more life out of them is to buy a piece of 3/8 clear shrink tubing and cut it into 1/4 inch pieces. Slide it on and add a little heat with a propane torch to tighten it up. Hook the bait thru the heat shrink. Usually I get 1 or 2 fish out of a senko type bait but by rigging this way I can get anywhere from 4 to 10 fish on one bait. This also works with nose hooked or wacky rigged worms, you just need smaller diameter heat shrink.

That is a shame, I really can't believe they keep increasing these every year! I would have thought the ceiling was $6.99...

I may have found an alternative but need to be certain before I mention it...

bucketmouth baits in GR (hand pour) are 3.99 for 8. they have great action.

I also like the Nemesis Sicko. They seem to last a lot longer than the senko. Senko's are one fish and done. I can usually get 2 or 3 fish out of a Sicko. Sicko's are also softer so the fish hold onto them longer. You should get ahold of Brian from Nemesis Baits, he can make u just about any color u want and might cut u a deal if you buy them in bulk.

[fasttrack]

Nemisis Sicko all the way. The last post hit the nail on the head. Brian has taken good care of me so give him a shout.

Nemesis sicko.  Color a problem?  Custom colors with no minimum, have the boys duplicate the color you want.  Or one you want that nobody makes.

Best soft stick?  Depends on the day.  Each is a little different in density, so different fall rates for each one.  Any could be the ticket that day in particular.

Day in/Day out, Nemesis & GYCB are the most consistent fish catchers for me. 

And for those who might disagree, go stick a sticko in your ocho!

I agree...you should check them out!  I don't fish any other stick bait anymore.

When it comes to Senkos nothing beats the real thing.  Rumor is   There is a guy on Union Lake that tears them in half and uses a weighted hook.  Just another rumor.

I like the Nemesis sicko and is the best option in my opinion if you dont want to drop the extra coin on gycb. I find it hard to use anything other than the real thing though and stock up when tackle sites have 20% off so its under $6 a bag. I was told yamamoto uses a sand in there formula which is to expensive or difficult to pour and is why nobody else can duplicate. I have tried many knock offs and not one has the same wiggle or shimmy and some days that action will get you more bites. I still use the sickos alot but when its tough or money is on the line im throwing the real thing.

[djkimmel]

I use Xtreme Bass Tackle X-worms and Nemesis Sickos.

[Waterfoul]

Another nod to the Nemesis Sicko.  Brian has made me several custom colors over the years (most of which are now offered on his website) and they WORK.  I don't fish a ton of stick baits these days, but there are those times when they just seem to be the ticket, and when that is the case I always throw the Sickos.

[Manxfishing]

It's interesting that so many people like the Nemesis Sicko.

But even buying the GY at 7.49 a bag for 10 or the Nemesis for 5.99 for 8
there the same price (.75 a piece)

I'm really after a cheaper Senko

[jcox7]

Guess I am not sure if I would ever worry about the cost of the bait, if I really thought one was better than the other.  I am sure that there are many less expensive ones available, however would the savings really be worth it?  To save 2 bucks a bag or .20 a bait seems like a lot but only matters if you are catching fish.  If a bait only catches one fish a piece and you catch your limit youre looking at what five bucks in bait.  On a good day tournament or not if you catch ten keeper bass you are or should be happy.  With this then you would spend roughly what ten bucks??  I wish I could feel confident I would spend ten bucks durring every tournament or day out fishing on plastic worms.  Why skimp on the price if it is the worm that works.  I only fish GY I have some Sickos that were made personaly for me however I catch the most on GY so I fish GY I would not worry about price when you are talking about saving a couple bucks a trip and that is if the trip is a good one.
