Best deal on Kinami worms ?

[Jim McC]

Where can I get the best deal on Kinami worms? Is there anywhere online to buy them in bulk? Thanks.

Buy them in the Yamamoto package.

If you want Kinami's in a more quantity, buy Yamamoto. They are EXACTLY the same thing, but you get more in the Yamamoto package.

They do not sell them in bulk and the price is kind of fixed. You can find deals on ebay or Wal-Mart as they will mark them down occasionally.

Kinami are REAL Senkos - there's just 7 in the bag instead of ten. They are made by GYCB. I believe that part of the company is run by Gary's son.

Yeah, Kinami baits are made by GYCB.  Same company, just Kinami is Gary's son's part of the company.

I haven't tried all the stickworms out there, by any means, but none so far do what the Yamamoto/Kinami do. The salt content of the GY baits gives them such density that they sink like rocks which gives that flutter to the ends. This salt content is also what makes them so fragile. Because of cost and bait loss I tend to use them sparingly -tough bites in deeper water (>6ft).

I use other stick worms too though, and more often than GY baits. That fat shape is just really attractive to bass. I choose the other brands for the slow rate of fall they offer, which is great in shallower water, and to keep a bait falling a bit longer, or twitching in place longer (wacky'd). To gain more action from them I soften them by boiling. These baits are a lot less expensive than GY baits, and more durable. In shallow water they work really well. I've not tried weighting them with a nail weight, which along with boiling might help them compete with the GY baits where they shine -deeper water.

If you're worried about tearing up your stickbaits, get yourself some Pro Softbait Glue- it's a superglue made just for soft plastics. It works like a champ. Save all of your torn up worm pieces and glue them back together in different color combinations and lengths. It's about six bucks a bottle, it will pay for itself in no time.
