Basseditor Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 We're trying a social experiment on May 5. We're trying to get #SenkoDeMayo to trend tomorrow especially on Twitter. But it I'm using it on all of my social media accounts. I'm adding #bassfishing too. I have no affiliation with Yamamoto Baits other than I buy a lot of Senkos. This could be fun or a big bust. Who knows. 1 Quote

Best clear water color I use. Yamamoto doesn't make it in 6-inch anymore so I had to buy the whole production run. 37 bags of 50 count. Quote
BareHook Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Dang! Did you get a second mortgage to finance all those Yamamoto's! 1 Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted May 4, 2016 Super User Posted May 4, 2016 How much one of those bags cost? Quote

Evan K Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Yeah, but used at a rate of one senko per minute that would only last about three 10 hour days of fishing! 1 Quote
Basseditor Posted May 4, 2016 Author Posted May 4, 2016 Well, what can you do when that's no longer a standard color and size. Watch, now that I have a lifetime supply, they'll bring it back. I have sold some (20 bags) in my bass club. I pre sold those before ordering. (I won several big bass trophies with those and guys were looking for some: I created demand.) $50/bag. $5.75 shipping. Hint, hint. I'll sell about 10 more bags if interested. Quote
ryandogsling Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 I just purchased my first pack of Yamasenkos and hope they do as well as everyone tells me they do. I'll definitely take a photo of my bag and post it over social media and put the hashtag on it. Great idea! Quote
Basseditor Posted May 5, 2016 Author Posted May 5, 2016 #SenkoDeMayo now has non fishing people using it. It's funny. If you're on Twitter search the hashtag #SenkoDeMayo Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted May 12, 2016 Super User Posted May 12, 2016 The fish love the ymsnkos but there only good for 1-2 fish and they tear up.The 5 inch ones usually last for 2-3 fish. Quote

What's that? go to lowe's and ask for 3/8" heat shrink tubing from the electrical aisle.... cut it into a small strip and it slides right over the senko, you don't necessarily even need to heat it up and shrink it. run the hook through the tube and the worm and it will prolong the life of the senko like you wouldn't believe! far better than the o ring method because this has your hook perpendicular to the bait rather than parallel, much better hookups. here's a link to a killer explanation from BR member @Wayne P. http://www.bigindianabass.com/big_indiana_bass/a-better-wacky-rigging-method.html might help the OP slow down on burning through that bulk pack too!

Super User N Florida Mike Posted May 12, 2016 Super User Posted May 12, 2016 It doesn't affect the natural presentation of it? Quote

Super User N Florida Mike Posted May 12, 2016 Super User Posted May 12, 2016 Thanks.I'll try it. Quote

Super User buzzed bait Posted May 13, 2016 Super User Posted May 13, 2016 1 hour ago, N Florida Mike said: Thanks.I'll try it. it's pretty cheap too... like $2 for a pack of it i believe so if you don't like it, you won't be out all that much. 3/8" for senkos and 1/4" for trick worms sized baits.

trick worms Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 To save money, I t-rig a senko first, then when I can't t-rig them, I save them for wacky- rigging. 1 Quote
