Glenn, I understand your second post alot better. You are in a tough spot, I'm a mod on a couple other forums and I do agree its a lose/lose situation. Out of the beaten topics the senko does cause the most chaos. Loomis/kistler debats are bad or use to be, the best rod/tackle debates are another one. When to pull the trigger is a very difficult decision. Since I know most of the board is following this topic I will bring this out.
Personally, I wouldnt mind if the senko topics stayed. With that said I dont understand why some take such offense when someone recommends some other substitute. This whole industry is based on confidence and personal favorites, especially lures. if one works better then that is good for the fisherman. No reason to get your panties in a bundle if someone else doesnt agree with the favored lure. Its fishing for God's sake. Not like your kid is in pain, or you just cut your finger off.
I've learned alot about plastics since I started pouring my own. Densities and flexibility can obviously change the way a bait works. They all have good and bads about them. Thats why there are 1k different types of plastics. its all about learning how to put the pro's of a bait to work for you. Some baits dont work for everyone or every situation. Once this is realised by the fisherman, them more sucess he or she will have.
Ok done soap boxing now
