SK shimmy stick or ocho??

[bassin is addicting]

what is the difference between these??

besides the smell   ;D

i picked up some ocho's in baby bass

i couldn't tell much difference...other than the ocho's were more $

if you have used either one..or both..what do you like about them?  any luck?

thanks..

I have and use both.  The thing I like about the ocho is it seems to be more durable.  I've caught fish on both. more on the ocho but that's probably because I've thrown it more.  They have a different action on the fall due to the difference in shape.  You won't be disappointed in the either.

I like the Ocho in Amistad Special color more than I like the Shimmy Stick. 

I think the Ocho is softer than the Shimmy Stick too.

I have used both and they both catch fish. Ocho is super soft and costs more. The shimmy stick costs less and isn't as soft. I could not use the Ochos wacky rigged because they would tear off of the hook on the cast. For that reason I like the shim-e-sticks better.

i liked the looks of the amistad special too...

as for the wacky problem with the ocho...  :'(

i use o-rings, so i hope i have better luck...  :-/

thanks for the input guys..

The only way I can get anything other then shimie stick is if I drive for 3 hours. Shimie sticks work great and there cheap

I haven't used the Ocho yet, but have used the Shimmy Sticks and they work well.

I am a devout Senko user, but the Shimmy Sticks are a cheaper alternative. Not as soft as the Senko, and don't seem to get as many bites...maybe it is because they are a bit stiffer than the Senko. Profile is pretty much the same, though.
