Green Trout Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Anyone ever try this bait? I want good and bad reviews because I am thinking of getting some but do not want to waste my money. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 6, 2015 Super User Posted February 6, 2015 Anyone ever try this bait? I want good and bad reviews because I am thinking of getting some but do not want to waste my money. Have you done a forum search? It is a very popular Senko knock-off. Lots of topics with it. I use it all the time and love it. 2 Quote

Super User K_Mac Posted February 6, 2015 Super User Posted February 6, 2015 I have used them for years. They are a good bait for the money. They are not as soft as Senkos. This is both good and bad. Most of the time I use the Stik-os. There are times when the Senkos are a better choice IMO. Quote
BobP Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 If you really get into stick baits, a big difference is whether it has been made with enough salt added to increase the weight of the bait. The original Senko is significantly heavier than most other stickbaits and that gives it a different sink rate and action that many consider superior to the various knockoffs. Some guys will argue that other brands work "just fine" or "just as well" as the Senko. Personally, I think most of the knockoffs work as well as other knockoffs but the Senko is a cut above. Unfortunately, that includes the price, too. 4 Quote
primetime Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I Can't tell if any are better or not, stik o's come in larger sizes, cool colors, and the new version is more like a gyb senko in terms of texture and more scent. I think GYB senko's work better at times due to all the colors, however, I like the yum Dinger's the best, Salt Lick even better, and I would buy Sluggo's lately...I am now a dedicated wacky "flick shake worm" and only use the senko on the MJ rig or big 7.25" as a topwater. Bass Pro and the Oem making the baits for them do a great job for all companies, but the swim sally and charlies skinny dipper versions are awesome, softer than RE dippers etc...also, swizzle sticks are great, and on a tough day, a black and blue 6" squirmin worm is tough to beat...Triple Ripple worms on c-rigs work also...With all the sales, I would buy a few 50 pks and the new crack craws or crazy craws are also good on a shaky rig, and the 2.99 xps floating minnows are awesome slow risers, creepin style but slower...love deals when bass pro disco's the flukes, I just need my black blue tail swizzle sticks, swim sally's, and squirmin worms in 6",12"..... I feel if you pick right color, megastrike, decent line choice for situation, and right hook, they are all good baits, they get produced in molds shaped like a cigar, not too complicated a bait to replicate...

moguy1973 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 They are all I use for wacky worming and I catch tons with them. Quote
TorqueConverter Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 No more Senkos for me. Stick-Os are all I use. $10 for a 50 count bag isn't too bad either. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 6, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 6, 2015 They aren't as good weightless as a Senko but they're great for Texas rigging with a weight and pitching into cover or on a shakyhead because they last so much longer. Quote
nascar2428 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I'm sure they will catch some fish. At twenty cents a stick(50count bag @ $9.99) how could you be wasting your money? Green pumpkin/black flake would be a good choice. Quote
MainelyBASS Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Both fish in my avi came off of the 3" stick-o drop shotted. I also dip my sticks in a clear JJ's Magic. 1 Quote
primetime Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 JJ's magic...I need some of this...I keep seeing it pop up online....Sorry Spike it, we are done. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 6, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 6, 2015 JJ's magic...I need some of this...I keep seeing it pop up online....Sorry Spike it, we are done. Hate to see a public breakup like this, but it's for the best, you'll be so much happier with JJ's. Quote
Fisher-O-men Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Where is a cop.... er moderator, when you need one! Quote
TrapperJ Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I was at BPS last night and couldnt pass up the 50 pack of stick-o's. Ive always been a Senko man myself. But 50 for just under $10 is crazy cheap. So i got a pack in each basic. Black/Blue, Green Pumpkin, and Watermelon... and becasue i didnt have enough stuff i grabbed an extra pack of green pumpkin ha. I took some of the bigger ones to Lake Baccarac and the big gals down there didnt seems to mind the difference. Caught a 10-1 and an 8-13 on the BPS stick-o wacky rigged. 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 7, 2015 Super User Posted February 7, 2015 At $10 for a pack of 50 that is a steal. I have tried them in the past and did ok with them. I would say they are similar to Yum Dingers. In the end though, I like Senkos better. They catch more fish, IMHO. Are they worth thextra coin? Not at full price but if they are on sale or clearanced, that's another story. 2 Quote
Arv Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 If you live near the springfield, mo bps, then no. if not, they're great. That's all I use now as far as stick worms. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 7, 2015 Super User Posted February 7, 2015 I have used Stik-O's for years. They don't tear up as easy as a senko, and you can cast them a mile. 1 Quote
BassObsessed Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Yeah it was hard to walk by the 50 pack of Stik-o's for $9.99 and not buy a pack. Junebug color it was. Quote
long island basser Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I have used Stik-O's for years. They don't tear up as easy as a senko, and you can cast them a mile. Same here! Quote
Joe Schmuckatelli Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 just caught a bass on one today and they come with alot more in a pack then the GYBC Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 7, 2015 Super User Posted February 7, 2015 None were available at my BPS, not 50 in a pack for $9.99 anyways... I was going to grab some 3" Quote
RSM789 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Push comes to shove, I prefer Senko's. However, I do use some of the Stik-O's that come in particular color/size combinations that I can't find anymore with Senko's (mainly 4" red shad laminate). They will catch fish & they do last longer. I noticed they are a little firmer than the Senko's, so they shimmy a little less when falling weightless wacky style. Quote
Super User CWB Posted February 8, 2015 Super User Posted February 8, 2015 I use them and like them. I will only buy them from the store where I can feel the softness. There seems to be a difference in consistency. I won't buy them online. If you get a bag of soft ones they work pretty darn good and are a great value. Hold up to a few fish too. Quote
