Super User ww2farmer Posted June 28, 2015 Super User Posted June 28, 2015 Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much a 5'' Yum Dinger weighs? Thank you! Not as much as a 5" GYCB senko. In my observations a 5" Dinger on a 1/16th oz wacky jig will fall about as fast as weightless Senko, and a dinger on an 1/8th oz head will fall as fast as a senko on a 1/16th oz head....maybe slightly faster. If you want to compare 4" sticks, the 4" dinger fall rate weightless is soooo close to a 4" GYCB Senko, that it's almost a non issue.The rate of fall with a stick bait................any brand stick bait, is what gives it the "wiggle" that guys talk about. I have yet to see a knockoff, that wouldn't wiggle with a little more weight added to it. Senkos are not magic, but they are priced like they are. I used to use dingers, then switched to Senkos, and am back to dingers. Same amount, and quality of bass in my boat, more $$ in my pocket, and I just like fishing with wacky heads over weightless..........win win for me. 2 Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I just weighed one my watermelon seed five inch Yum-dinger. It came in at 0.35 ounces. But then I weighed a junbug five inch Yum-dinger and it came it at 0.30 ounces. 1 Quote

Are you saying a 4" dinger weighs more then the 5" dinger? No,no, no.....typo on my end. What I meant was the 4" Dinger is closer in weight/fall rate to the 4" GYCB Senko, that to my eye the difference is very very minor. Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted June 29, 2015 Super User Posted June 29, 2015 But you noticed a significant difference in the 5" versions? Yes, a 5" Senko is much heavier than a 5" dinger. Quote
Shanes7614 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Interesting. Have you had the chance to weigh them yet? Quote
BASSPATROL247 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Only weight i use on senko style baits 90% of the time is a small nail.. Quote
