stick bait options ....

[SamCFBC]

well i can't wait to try this out.  i should have some o rings in tomorrow from tackle warehouse among other things.

I don't throw stickbaits very much except around the Spawn time and when I do I use Senko's 90% of the time and I will occasionally throw a Yum Dinger for a slower fall. I've never been impressed with any other brands of stickworms that I've used so far. I will also throw a Jackall Flick Shake on a wacky jighead on occasion.

The Kinami Flash and the GYCB are the same bait, the only differences between both are:

1.- the color chart

2.- the Flash has the Kinami wave molded on the eggsack.

So when you purchase a bag of Kinami Flash you are actually purchasing a bag of GYCB Senkos

I like Dingers for everyday use.

this is not true. I have used both extensively and the senkos are much softer and have much more wiggling action as they fall. I'm not saying they are made by two completely different companies, but the material they are made up of is definitely different.

Dude, it has been discussed ad nauseum and confirmed by GYCB pro staffers and by GYCB itself, GYCB Senko and Kinami Flash is the same bait.

is there a possibility that wal-mart carries very old products then? I am playing with a bag of senkos and a bag of kinami baits and they are VERY different. I'm talking the kinami bait is MUCH stiffer and I even placed them in water and it has significantly less action than the senko. It would be possible to argue that this bag could have been a bad batch, but I have also noticed this in the past as well, although I have not thoroughly tested it before. I'm sorry, but I simply cannot believe they are the same. Maybe my wal-mart is just scamming me

I would have to agree with you about the kinami's at wal mart. I have picked up a bag and actually made a post about it a while back.  The wal mart kinami's were stiffer, harder, and had little action in the water as compared to a GYCB.  Whats interesting is that we are experiencing the same thing on opposite ends of the country...

Dichoso Baits Stickbait, and just recently, the Tickle Stick :

My Senko substitute is the Wacky Worm Wacko

The 3/8" electrical heat shrink tubing is the size that fits most quality fat worms snugly. No heat required.

If you don't get an unheated snug fit with your bait, you aren't getting the best falling wiggle.

Wayne, why don 't you patent and sell those incredible inventions of yours ?  :-?

That idea of using the heat shrink tube instead of an O ring -----> phenomenal !

actually, i use those too and they're awesome.  i think they're best for wacky rigging if you don't want to run through a lot of senkos. 

how are you getting the unheated shrink tubing on easily?  or do the worms just easily pull through without getting torn?

are you getting o rings or specific rubber tubing at a hardware store? all of this is great info. by the way. i was 100% texas rig until recently and i didn't have much wacky rig confidence. took a few trips but i finally caught one on it and then kept catching them so i'm sold. i quickly realized how easily it was to lose the worm on 1 fish.

Hardware store, Home Depot, Lowes all carry o rings and shrink tube. A soda straw will work in a pinch but is not as durable. Bring a worm with you to be sure on the size. Side note, I love these hooks: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0037619119810a&type=product&rid=0123456789&cm_mmc=PPC-_-Google%20Non%20Brand-_-fis_Terminal%20Tackle_Hooks-_-owner+mosquito+hooks

you should try the Owner wacky hooks , for 5" stick baits i use the 1/0 size , they are the best hook for wacky rigging you could use , give them a try !!
