You can try to heat them back together with a lighter but the results won’t be the same.
December 15th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
Dude, plenty of people have told you where to get these! Just go to Wal-Mart, they have a ton of em!
December 16th, 2010 at 1:15 am
They are great baits. They last ALOT longer then senkos and have great action.
December 16th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Senko’s are good. I would have picked a different color for murky water but they could still work. Wacky rig them with a small baitholder style hook or Texas-rig them with a 1/0 worm hook with NO weight, on both the Wacky-rig an Texas-rig. The Senko’s have enough weight to cast, and a long way too, even on M/H Baitcasting equipment.When you’re wacky-rigging them, just let them fall to the bottom, pull them up, and let them fall back down. Keep doing this. Do practically the same thing with the Texas-rig just not as erratically as you would with a wacky-rigged Senko.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:28 am
yeah you can but i have better luck just letting it sink by some cover and twitching it until it gets picked up and the texas style weedless works really well with that particular bait style
December 17th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
they probably are. these are one of gary yamamoto’s lines of lures and his regular yamamoto line is very heavily salted. into the plastic even. l think it just a bit too much, personally, as the lures are brittle and the plastic tears easily. but all l use of his are the fat ikas and big ikas. yamamoto is a bit costly for me to go too overboard on.the “fat ika” is a great bait, BTW, rigged weightless on a 5/0 EWG worm hook.

The method that I use goes as follows. I cast, skip, pitch or flip the Senko, then I let the bait free fall for a second or two, shaking my rod tip approximately 4-6 inches at a time. I might do this a dozen times. If I haven’t had a strike, I continue to let the bait free fall. I repeat this until the bait either gets to the bottom or falls into the zone where I think the fish are.Make sure that you try this while fishing for bedding bass next spring. I can’t tell you the number of bedding bass I have caught while fishing this technique. I guess it’s the completely different presentation that makes these fish go ballistic. For me, it works best when I can’t get a stubborn bedding fish to hit a traditional jig, grub or tube. Believe me, if they won’t hit the standards I know I’ve got ‘em with the wacky Senko!When you get bit (and you will) the strike feels like a slight pressure on the line, much like what you feel when you are dragging some weeds on your worm or jig. Hold on for just a second and you will usually feel the fish moving away with the bait. Other times, the hits are so savage in nature that the fish actually hooks itself on the initial strike.To set the hook, simply reel in the slack and put steady pressure on the rod, which will drive the razor-sharp Yamamoto Splitshot hook right into the jaw hinge area. You can usually drive these hooks in fully by just turning the reel handle. In fact, a vigorous hook-set will work against you in this application.I think the “Wacky” presentation mimics a dying minnow or shad, fluttering on its way to the bottom. Bass see this as an easy meal and eat it willingly. I have also been told by some that this style of worming imitates a terrestrial of some sort, like a larva or a nightcrawler that somehow made it into the lake. I’m not sure what it imitates; I just know that it works on bass that have refused a number of other offerings. I’ve proved it to myself, time after time. Hope this helps you somewhat. I don’t believe the senko comes in 3 inch, but I’m not sure. Good luck and good fishing!

In all honesty, its like comparing a Cadillac Escalade (Gary Yamamoto) to a Chevrolet Suburban (off brands). People buy the Caddy for the name when the Chevy works pretty much the same.But big overpriced SUVs don’t compare to soft plastics.Yes, salt works. Heavily salted just makes the worm heavier and saltier. And more flavorful. Scents are more for covering offensive human odors.On a small note, Gander Mountain brand stick worms aren’t actually made by Gander Mountain. They’re like Bass Pro Shops’ own Stick-Os, made by someone else but with their own name and packaging.

I am like you. The Yamamoto lures are just too dang expensive to fish with.But after reading the answers to the questions I will try the Strike King Zero lure next. But I love to fish the senko type lures rigged texas style and weightless. I have found that lures even ones made by the same company will have different degrees of limpness for some reason. And the ones that are more limp have a much better action that produce more fish. So as I look at the senko type lures in the stores, I take one out of each bag and check it out for limpness.I lay one across my finger and the ones that droop the most on each side of my finger always have a fantastic action in the water and on the fall of the bait, and seem to produce more strikes.

So you like Yamamoto Senko’s? Want to save a TON of money and get as good a quality product as a Senko? Check this out- http://cgi.ebay.com/50-4-Senko-Type-Fishing-Lures-Watermelon-Red-Black_W0QQitemZ270462386252QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ef8d0804c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14A pkg of Gary Y Senko’s retails for about $7 – $8 per 10. On EBay you can get 50 for $14-$15. $7 X 5= $35 You get twice the Senkos for half as much! AND they work JUST as good as a name-brand, GY Senko! I buy tons of lures and used tackle from EBay. If your careful about who you purchase from you can usually get AMAZING deals on fishing equipment.

Yamamoto baits do exactly what they are intended to do and that’s catch fish! True Senko’s don’t look like much but they are and have been one of the hottest soft plastic going for close to a decade. I have used them on several lakes in Mexico with great success. They do tear very easily. Usually one fish per bait is normal. I like the Strike King Zero version of the Senko because of it’s 3X plastic which lasts longer (much, much longer!) and floats, but when rigged on a 4/0 or 5/0 EWG offset hook has life like action (looks like a small school of escaping baitfish), especially when double rigged. Here is the double rig with Flukes in place of Senkos. Both rigs have their merit.:http://fishing.about.com/od/basicfishinginstruction/ss/aa050805a_2.htmHere is the proper rigging for wacky style.http://www.insideline.net/1999/xiques-0910-99.htmlStrike King Zero tactics by Greg Hackney:http://www.strikeking.com/journal/00168/1.phpVideo’s on how to rig and fish Yamamoto baits (these methods work on other brands as well of course and BTW the videos are s-l-o-w loading but full of good info).http://www.insideline.net/video/index.htmGambler also makes a great senko type bait called the “Ace.”http://www.gambler-lures.com/ace.html

Several things you can research, you can do it wacky style, drop shooting, rig it Texas Style but without a weight. The best I have done is Drop shooting and weightless. Just research those three styles, they are easy to look up.

Sounds more like a Japanese god if you ask me. Maybe the Japanese god of worm drowning?
December 21st, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Oh my dear lord, I thought you would never ask!!!!! YES, and much cheaper, as well as much better!!! Try the YUM dinger. They come in 3,4,5,6,7 and a 9 inch splittail model. I prefer the 4 inch watermelon seed color, with gold flakes. They are impregnated with LPT, Live Prey Technology. And the scent never washes off. I have drastically improved my catch ratio per trip using these stick baits. Technically they are not worms. Fish them just like you fish a senko. I prefer to texas rig them and cast near cover. The tail has an irresistable wiggle action, that draws great strikes. They are made with a hook slot, that allows for better, as well as more hook-ups. I should be a spokes person for thier company, because I stand by them so much. Give thenm a try, and if you aren’t happy let me know. If nothing works, I throw a dinger, and 99% of the time I get several fish. Plus they hold up better than senkos. Usually I can catch 2-3 fish on 1 dinger, as compared to the 1 bass with senkos. I have never tried the split-tail models, and I’m sure they are quite different. You can also fish them wacky style, but I have better results with them rigged texas style without any added wieght. Tight lines.

I fish a lot of different brands of soft plastics. Normally Zoom has the best price so, why not get them. They’re actually durable as well. I use Yum Dingers, BPS Stick-O’s, Zoom G-Tail Worms, Culprit worms, Renegade worms, and i even have a few “home made” worms that a friend gave to me. I have a few different colors, including yellow, dark red, dark blue, and a few others of the home made worms. Just about any soft plastic brand works, but if i had to pick only one kind i would pick the Yum Dinger Texas rigged or wacky rigged with or without a weight. I also use the SS+ Lizard from Zoom and the Berkley Chigger Craw.

Your best bet is to call your nearest Bass Pro Shop or Cabelas Shop. They will probably have any info regarding lure companys and lure stocks. Ask your local Baitshop guy to hunt one down for you,( more than likely they will). Good luck!

When the Senko is Texas-rigged weightless, it has much more movement and wiggle than when weighed down with a bullet weight. The only situations I recommend using the Senko weighted is in deeper water. If you’re fishing shallower water, go weightless.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:43 pm
that is a lot of matches.
December 24th, 2010 at 1:31 am
I have both of them but prefer to Texas rig them instead of flippin’ and pithin’ either of them. When it comes to flipping and pitching, I like using a big heavy jig with a big trailer.
