tritz18 Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Does anyone know any websites were I can buy gary yamaoto senkos in bulk, I have heard that you can get packs of 5 different colors and more than 20 worms but I can't seem to find any in bulk only in 10 packs. 1 Quote
Bizzo Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 I found the post below on another forum concerning this question, it's an answer from someone at Yamamoto baits as to why they dont sell in bulk. Okay, well I'm someone from Yamamoto and I'd love to answer this question. I manage the Online Store and get a very significant number of requests for bulk deals. The long answer is that we used to have bulk available. We stopped doing this because we do not have room to keep all of our 3,000-some different styles and colors in stock as 100-count bags. And when we did, the weight of the bags and bait tended to crush the soft bait. Then, nobody ever wants the same color or style as another angler. It seemed that the extra efforts consumed any savings we could reasonably pass on to the angler by making 100-count bags. Now, dealers and distributors get bulk deals, naturally, by the caselot. (No suprise there, right?) And the baits are still packaged in the normal ziplocks. Now we love our anglers. You guys asking these questions. But honestly, we're not into making outrageous profits on anyone. I think that our bait is worth the extra cost, and I get that value back in better performance. If you don't think that's true, you should either do a little more research here at the Inside Line, or find another bait to use. Our bait is expensive to make. I know for a fact that I'm not making rock-star wages. (In fact, everyone here is definitely underpaid. *hint hint Gary*) The real question is, why don't the tackle stores have special deals and quantity sales? We don't because we really don't want to compete with them -- our corporate policy is to actually support those mom-and-pop dealers who have to compete with the X-Marts selling 5,000-count bags of X-bait. So, to recap. We used to have bulk -- it really didn't work out because of the quantity of products and the delicacy of our bait. We're not trying to rip anyone off -- our bait is expensive to purchase because it's just plain expensive to make -- our prices have NEVER increased and have actually DECREASED in the last 15 years (we're getting cheaper) -- stores get quantity deals and you should talk to your local dealer about getting the deals. Hope this helps, -Ryan 3 Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 11, 2007 Super User Posted July 11, 2007 anybody understand what they are trying to say? b Translation: We are not interested in selling bulk quantities. 1 Quote
Bizzo Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Bottom line is that bulk packing cuts into profits, so they don't do it. Not that I see anything wrong with that personally. Quote
Zel Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Something hit me as being odd in that statement posted above: We're not trying to rip anyone off -- our bait is expensive to purchase because it's just plain expensive to make -- our prices have NEVER increased and have actually DECREASED in the last 15 years (we're getting cheaper) So, am I the only person who sees the price I pay for GYCB Senkos go up almost every year? What am I missing here? 1 Quote
tritz18 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Posted July 11, 2007 Wait how much do you guys pay for a pack of 10 senkos, I pay $6.49 Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted July 11, 2007 Super User Posted July 11, 2007 nobody is missing anything this person is just sugarcoating it to stand up for his company. Quote
tritz18 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Posted July 11, 2007 I found a site that has the senkos in bulk and its the online Gary Yamamoto catalog, check it out http://media.baits.com/catalog/2007-gycb-catalog.pdf It clearly says on page 18 that they are selling a pack of 40 senkos, i'm really confused Quote
GHIII Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Whatever IT is, you can get IT on ebay! just make sure they dont say senko "STYLE". You can get them in bulk there. Quote
George Welcome Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Not to be confused that is 21-5" and 19-4". Do the math. Quote
JT Bagwell Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 I found a site that has the senkos in bulk and its the online Gary Yamamoto catalog, check it outhttp://media.baits.com/catalog/2007-gycb-catalog.pdf It clearly says on page 18 that they are selling a pack of 40 senkos, i'm really confused That is not a "bulk" pack. That is more of a multi colored kit. A bulk pack would be more like 40 of the same color and size as opposed to 6 of this color and 7 of that color and so on. In the print catalog that is on page 16 not 18. JT Bagwell Quote
tritz18 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Posted July 12, 2007 Well I just want something with different types of colors and alot of each, I think 40 would be enough. I wouldn't want alot of just one color 1 Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted July 12, 2007 Super User Posted July 12, 2007 BPS sells a kit i forget what the worm is called but its one of those big kit in the boxes type deals. Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 12, 2007 Super User Posted July 12, 2007 Well I just want something with different types of colors and alot of each, I think 40 would be enough. I wouldn't want alot of just one color Oh, so what you are saying is that you would want to have let 's say, 5 in this color, 5 in another color and so on until you fill 40 baits. That 's an easy one, get with a couple of friends and order several colors and split the baits with them. 1 Quote

Super User Crestliner2008 Posted June 13, 2017 Super User Posted June 13, 2017 All I know is that yes, I can catch bass (or other species of fish) on "Senko-type" baits, but not nearly as many, nor as consistently. I only use the original Senko. Quote
npl_texas Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Wal-Mart and Academy sell them for under $6.50/pack. Quote

If I remember correctly you only get 6-7 Senkos for that price vs 10. The same is true for Roboworms, you only get 8 per pack in the ziploc bags they come in vs 10 in the plain stapled bags elsewhere. I do purchase the Roboworm packs from Walmart because I prefer the ziploc bags they come in, I just refill them with fresh Roboworms from the 10 packs. Quote
RMax Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I'm pretty sure that someone told me if you contact Mr. Yamamoto that you can get him to send you a bulk amount of Senko's. Quote
Super User gim Posted June 13, 2017 Super User Posted June 13, 2017 I'm sure the Yamamoto company loves having people buy more and more and more because of the durability issue too. Quote
CTBassin860 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Whats the record for 10 year old threads pulled up in a day? This is like the 3rd today 1 Quote
