Do Tiki Sticks work as well as a Senko?

[Jeff_NHBA]

yes...

I killed 'em last year on tikis. Even when the bait was torn to shreds, still caught fish on just pieces of 'em.

Overall they are just about as good. I like the action of the original senko a bit better, but tiki sticks last longer. A senko is done after a couple of bass usually.

That happens to me with just about all the soft sticks. I rig them texposed on one end, then when it's shredded, I texpose on the other end. When both ends are shredded, I wacky rig them. Soft sticks are pure bass crack in clear to slightly stained water.

To me they're all just "STICK WORMS":

> Wave Worm Tiki Stick

> *** ***

> Yamamoto Senko

> Yum Dinger

> Gambler Ace

> Strike King Zero

> Manns Freefall Worm

> Bass Pro Stik-O

During a day when bass are really whacking stick worms,

any one of the above sticks will almost certainly provide good action.

During a day when bass aren't all that excited about stick worms,

even your favorite stick isn't going to set the world on fire

Changing from a T-rig to a W-rig will usually cause a more noticeable difference than changing worm brands

GEEEEEZ, yals fish are spoiled rotten.  I have trained the bass in the lakes that I fish in to eat my Zoom or Culprit 7.5" junebug or redshad worm.  If they don't eat that then they don't get to eat anything.

It's an apples to oranges comparison IMHO. They are not the same. I subscribe to the philosophy that it is better to have both of them than only one or the other. My experience albeit not too much is that some days the bass indicated a stronger preference of one over the other. If you only had one, you'd be SOL.

Folks, these senko threads are numerous and repetitive.  For this reason, we have compiled all this info into 1 thread.
