Everyone says the senko is expensive. I have found 100 packs for sub $40 multiple times this year. At that price I fish the senko for most things. I learned in this video that there are probably better options for Neko rigging
Gambler isn't on most people radar in this category. The yum dinger or senko is though maybe a strike king stick bait. I see those talked about and fished way more. I've tested probably 50 brands of stick baits from small business to big main stream names. Nothing compares to a senko in a weightless t rig or wacky nor even weighted wacky for the action. You have variations that have slight action and slower fall rate though which can be better on some days. I will have to get some gamblers sometime and test them as well but looks to me they are good on a weighted t rig or maybe weighted rig. Senko imo is the best weightless which is how it was meant to be fished. Dinger is the best cheap option and better when the fish want a slow fall rate, it does have slight wobble/wiggle at times as well. I fish mainly the senko, dinger and Ocho as those have been the best in different conditions or scenarios that worked for me.
CPF lures. A local lake Kissimmee guide (chuck Pippen) started a bait company a couple of years ago. His stick baits and speed worms last forever and he makes a floating speed worm as well ..
Generals Rock! I believe they sink the fastest. Nothing matches the scent: Bass Pro stick o is the best for endurance, quantity per bag. Bang for your buck.
This year, I tried Bass Pro Stick-O's and Berkley Generals. Both were productive, but my supplies are running low. Wanted to try something new and ordered a few packs of Chompers. I enjoyed the sick bait battle, thanks 👍👊
Good video! You definitely had too much coffee this morning. I stick with senkos for the shimmy both weightless wacky and Texas rigged. Just buy the senkos during sales and bulk
Yes to the bps sticko. You get a bag of 30 for about $12.00. Ive been throwing them for years now. Other guys have done under water test with the different brands and they have shown to be outstanding.
Gamblers aren't REALLY significantly cheaper, as they come in an 8pk vs a 10pk for yamas. So only about a nickle difference. So the real difference is just gonna be the density (salt)
Use two baits...BPS Stick O when I want a slower fall and a Senko when I want a little faster fall. Dinger falls super slow and I only use those as a cheaper Ned rig worm just cutting them down
I have the Gambler Ace, Netbait Ion, Strike KIng Ocho and the Yum Dinger in my boat. Confidence level... 1. Ocho 2. Ace 3. Ion [great but way too fragile] and the Dinger is an easy last.
Yep, I get custom made ones low salt.last better, but floats a bit more, and the og is a good wacky rigged bait for me , and or I get 2 slim nails and double weight that wacky for a fast flutter down they don't see often enough... and smoke em.... go MBRF 💥 🎣 👌.
Unweighted HAS to be a Yamamoto Senko. If using a light weight wacky hook, senko also works best. If fishing it with a bullet weight…..Bitter’s makes the best colors. Everything else….Gambler. 👍🏻
I like when they wobble and gobble too Mike. 👍🏼😂
A good "knockoff" is the Bass Pro Shops stick-o. 📣 Battle of the knockoff worms!

Please do a bait battle on worms used on shakey heads and the shakey heads themselves with screw lock and without
Thanks Mikey
Thanx Mike. I throw the Picasso vibrating jig when everyone is throwing Jackhammers. Would like to see the pool test on the 2 head to head.
Hey Bog!
Hey Mikey!
I use the MaxScent General.
Generals Rock!
I believe they sink the fastest.

Great video Mikey!!! Gambler wins on Pitching and Neko Rigging!
I would like to see the Yum Dinger in compaison. It is especially buyer friendly. I buy it 90% of the time for stickbaits.
I personally use the Yum maybe do a test with them

Thank you, your cool. Merry Christmas sir.& Bog
Man, dang, do the rest of the stick baits! I have wanted to see an underwater comparison of these for years because of the price of Senkos.
I know it would hard to do in a pool but the Bill Lewis ATV square bill does seem to come through cover easier then most other square bills.

Senkos absolutely out fish knockoffs!
Xzone lures 5" true center stick and the googan lunker log are great knockoffs
Oh yeah 🎉
My dude!!!!
Still a fan of an Elaztec senko.

Great info Mikey, but why do you keep showing up on swimsuit girl’s channel?

Zoom Brush hog vs a Missile baits Destroyer!
Can you test FFS against Randy Blaukat and see which is superior to finding fish.
Hahaha !! Bro this killed me
I wanna know what’s the best beer in the paciña del arena.
😂😂 I will get him there one of these days
Yum for me, works best for me, and I'm cheap.
Bruiser baits best
OSP DoLive Beaver Vs. Rapala Bronco Bug
TX rig/pegged, TX rig/un-pegged, Free Rig
If your fishing weightless there's not a stick bait out there that beats the Senko.
Any other rigging use the cheap ones.
Unweighted HAS to be a Yamamoto Senko. If using a light weight wacky hook, senko also works best.
If fishing it with a bullet weight…..Bitter’s makes the best colors.
Everything else….Gambler. 👍🏻
👍👍👍👍👍
OMG...😅😅
Battle the whopper plopper against the choppo.
Bass Pro Stick-O. Can get 30 packs
Are you high? Hope so enjoy!
MB 110 vs everyone else
Everybody excited about stick baits, and no one's talking about a topless swimsuit girl appearance... Yeah, we're nerds.
Gota use senkos. The one and only.IMO. LOVE Your videos but I think you need professional help.lets go fishing
Senkos come with 10 in a pack. If you do the math, senkos are just about a nickel more per bait.
You ever go to a different gas station cause it's a nickel cheaper?
Gambler all day
