Guest avid Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Revolutionized Bass fishing?? Holy geez....I wouldn't extend the guy THAT much credit. Revolutionized it for dinkmasters. There are many many out there who do nothing but dunk soft stickbaits all day long. You forget he also invented the fat ika.......a dink bait? I don't think so. PS> try moving up to 6 and 7 inch senko's. I don't understand why people bash GY so much. I really don't. Trust me on this one. I have it on very good authority that he did not attack Pearl Harbour Quote
Guest avid Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 So true If you cannot affort 6 bucks for a bag of bait. You are in the wrong hobbie There is a certain amount of arrogance and elitisim to this remark I can afford 3 dollars a bag to fish, why do i need to give up fishing. i work lioke everyone else , I am puttin myself through collegwe, as well as my daughter. Why do i need 6 dollars a bag to blow off steam and enjoying fishing. WHAT A STATEMENT TO MAKE you are dissmissing many working fellas who also fish. Give me a row boat, a cane pole, and a bucket of freshly netted shiners and I'll outfish anyone with a $50,000 bass boat, 10 JDM rods and 50 lbs of tackle 9 days out of 10. Quote
Guest avid Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 i just think there expensive and tear up real easyand i think strike king zeros are way better for 3 reasons a.. dont cost near as much b.. dont tear up and lead you to by more c.. CATCH FISH You left out one very important quality. They melt into the prettiest puddles of multicolored goo I have ever seen ;D Quote
mattm Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 As an ole timer i see alot of repeat posts. But this is one that ticks me off. Gary Yamamoto created arguabaly the best bass catching lure of all time. He did the research, he did the r&d, he did the testing the refining and the marketing. That all cost money guys. Then all I hear is people whining about his baits don't hold up to more than a few fish. I wish I could invent something that worked so well the major complaint is that is doesn't last as long as I would like. Brent and the *** boys, have made a huge following on BassResource.com. I have used their baits and they are great, but lets not bash the guy who super inpregnated salt into plastic and revolutionized bass fishing. He's a design and marketing genius and derserves every dime he has. So true If you cannot affort 6 bucks for a bag of bait. You are in the wrong hobbie Problem is,....I actually catch. $6/bag may be fine for you if you fish twice a month and catch 2 fish each time. We've gone through over 400 sticks so far this yr. Do the math. If the baits I use ripped as easily as a GYCB, that number would be even higher. Now I'm not poor, but I am kind of offended that you think if I can't afford the over-priced baits, I shouldn't be in the game because, quite frankly, I get my confidence from the fish I catch, not the price tag on the bag. Like it says above, if you only have confidence in the $$$ baits, perhaps YOU are in the wrong hobby. MOST people get into fishing BECAUSE it is a low cost form of outdoor recreation, I'm sure many of them might find your comment offensive as well. Let me put it this way, I make enough money to be able to afford to pay $5 for a gallon of gas, but if the $3/gallon get me to the party,....why on Earth would I pay $5?? This is about common sense, not economic stature. Posted by: dodgeguy Post Amen, LBH. Quote
Del from philly Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 Give me a row boat, a cane pole, and a bucket of freshly netted shiners and I'll outfish anyone with a $50,000 bass boat, 10 JDM rods and 50 lbs of tackle 9 days out of 10. Roger i dont know, using live bait is a different animal...... the funnest part of freshwater fishing is the lure, the illusion, and the art......the trickery..... using live bait takes all this away....

Guest the_muddy_man Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I fish artificals heavy but I still love throwing shiners, craw dads and nightcrawlers once in a while REMINDS ME WHEN I WAS A KID AND FISHIN WAS JUST FISHIN 8-) BAIT FISHING DOEN'T MAKE ANYONE LESS OF A FISHERMAN anyone who buys that just ain't right Quote
d.hark Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Give me a row boat, a cane pole, and a bucket of freshly netted shiners and I'll outfish anyone with a $50,000 bass boat, 10 JDM rods and 50 lbs of tackle 9 days out of 10.

Its cheating if you ask me > But back to the subject at hand. I do agree the GY are expensive. Personally I have been having great success with Tiki sticks. I gues its personall preferance and confidence in what you buy and use Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 18, 2007 Super User Posted June 18, 2007 Jeez guys... Personal attacks are NOT warranted and WILL BE (have been) DELETED. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted June 18, 2007 BassResource.com Administrator Posted June 18, 2007 Ok guys, time to take a breather. This thread is going nowhere fast. Seems it all boils down to personal preference. If you have nothing new, positive, and uniquely insightful to add to this thread, then let it rest. Quote
Guest the_muddy_man Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 10-4 Glenn and RW I even pulled some of mine that are going nowhere, i ain't gonna change anyone anyhow, just me 8-) Quote
MarVaBC Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 i cant afford GYCB lures. i just cant. so therefore, i like to buy the otherstuff. imo they work just as well, and alot of times you can get more baits for a lower price. i say its all about confidence and money. use what you like, and what you can afford. Just to clarify to this gentleman....you can afford GYCB, in fact you pay more for its cousin KINAMI, as you said in your first thread. See below - prices quoted from the Bass Pro website for 4 and 5 inch baits. GYCB Senko $5.99 10 per bag 60 cents each KINAMI Flash $4.49 7 per bag 65 cents each Quote
Guest the_muddy_man Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I like this math a whole lot better ;D *** bag of 25 is 6.00 bucks thats .24 cents each Quote
MarVaBC Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Thats real nice....haven't tried those but they look good on the web site (cool colors). When they had the spring sale, I got some of the BPS stik-o for real cheap ($3.33 per 20)...and they have been catching them real well rigged wacky. That style of rigging tends to get shook off the hook on every fish, so going through them is kind of easy. So far the stik-o has been a good alternative..and 1/3 the price of Yammies, its not too bad. Quote
Guest avid Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I like this math a whole lot better ;D*** bag of 25 is 6.00 bucks thats .24 cents each I thought Brooklyn guys only bought stuff that "fell off the back of a truck" Quote
Super User FishTank Posted June 20, 2007 Super User Posted June 20, 2007 I have been trying to follow this discusion since I tend to fish GYCB most of the time and no I have not tried *** yet but I will soon. I have been able to get Senkos and sometimes Fat Ikas for $3.20 a pack. At that price I can't turn them down. I could fish anything I want with in a $3.00 to $4.00 price and still be, IMHO, affordable. I choose to fish the Senkos just because they work. I have yet to find their equal, only imatations. So when I do the math that's .32 cents a piece. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted June 20, 2007 Super User Posted June 20, 2007 Thats good stuff right there..... : Quote
ROCKETRICEFARMER Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 i SAVE ALL MY SENKOS AND WHEN THEY GET TORN UP I PUT THEM IN A BAG BEFORE I LOZE THEM. WHEN I HAVE A BUNCH SAVED I SUPER GLUE THE RIPPS TOGETHER. BE NEAT WITH IT ONLY USE AS MUCH GLUE AS YOU NEED . THEN WHEN YOUR LOW ON FUNDS OR BRING A FRIEND OUT USE THE GLUED UP SENKOS. Quote
Guest the_muddy_man Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU FELLAS; But when i am taking a friend orespecially a newbee out I try to give them the best I have and put them on fish.I have lots of time to fish on my own! Quote
ROCKETRICEFARMER Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 i AM NOT SURE WHAT YOUR TRYING TO SAY BUT THAT WASN'T REALLY THE POINT OF MY POST. i STILL PUT THEM ON THE FISH. BUT NEWBIES STILL TEND TO CAST INTO TREESS AND HAVE MORE TANGLES AND SNAGES. TO ME THEY STILL CATCH FISH. STICK WITH THE TOPIC Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted June 20, 2007 Super User Posted June 20, 2007 Chill, new guy..... I am glad you keep your stuff and give it to others, thats great. Muddy is being himself, thats great too. Get to know him a little bit, you will see what I mean.... Wayne Quote
ROCKETRICEFARMER Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 YOUR MISSING THE POINT TOO. IT'S NOT ABOUT SAVING ME SENKOS TO SHARE! i WILL TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW MUDDY. I ASKED HIM WHAT HE MENT TO FIND OUT HOW I SHOULD FEEL. SO I WAS WAITING FOR A REPLY BY MUDDY. PEOPLE WERE POSTING THAT SENKOS WERE EXSPENSIVE AND THEY DON'T LAST LONG. i WAS LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THEIR OPTIONS IF THEY WANT TO BE FRUGAL. THAT WAS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY MAYBE THATS ALL I SHOULD POST. i WAS TRYING NOT TO BE BLUNT I WANTED PEOPLE TO THINK OF OTHER REASONS WHY GLUEING THE SENKOS MIGHT BE GOOD BY STATEING WHY ITS GOOD TO ME. NOW I'LL CHILL BRO Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted June 20, 2007 Super User Posted June 20, 2007 <---- Now chilling as well. No blood, no foul..... Wayne Quote
basscat73 Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Welcome aboard Rocket! Many people think typing in ALL CAPS is considered YELLING. May or may not be true. For sure though, it's more difficult to read when paragraphs are typed in ALL CAPS. Just an FYI P.S. Your idea of supergluing senkos for newbie fishermen is a pretty good one! Quote
ROCKETRICEFARMER Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks for the heads up. I wasn'ty aware of that. I'm using my computer at work the program i use only reads caps. so to save time going between the two i leave the caps on. I guess i do need to chill a bit. I respect that. -Keith Quote
