BassThumb Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 The last few years, Gander Mt has had GY Senkos 30% off in the spring. That's the time to stock up.
WdyCrankbait Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Heads up, I just opened the local paper here in Richmond, VA and Dick's Sporting Goods is advertising "buy three, get one free," and there is a package of GY Senkos in the article. Someone mentioned Dick's in an ealier thread sells them for $6.99/pack. So, the math would work out to about $5.25/pack before tax. Letting everyone know to check everyones papers this morning.
LuckyHandsINC. Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 IMO, senkos are not worth it. they tear like mad and I've had MUCH better luck with MegaSticks. Sorry,but I disagree. While they are more expensive than they should be GYB senkos are one of the few overpriced products I will pay for. More salt equals more weight and better casting distance. I have not found another stickbait that I can cast as far as real senkos. Also they tear like mad because they are softer,which means better action and fish will hold longer. I use o rings which I know some people don't like but I have no problem with them and makes them last a lot longer. Again let me just say I am usually the first guy to bash a product who raises their prices based on namebrand recognition, however not in this case I really believe they are with it. Also I should mention I don't use them too often,if.I was out their losing a pack or two a day if might have a different opinion.
LuckyHandsINC. Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Also let me add the dicks near me sells them for 6.50 a pack. 8.29 is absolutely ridiculous and I don't think I would pay that. Bass pro is a rip off in itself. Go to ***.com better prices,products,shipping,and customer service. I havent spent a dollar at basspro since I found out about ***.

I havent spent a dollar at basspro since I found out about ***. tell me about it. bass pro is getting way overpriced and when they have "Sales" its on things id never use. i bought my first pack of GYB senkos last night and ill see how long they last. ive been using dingers for a while. great action, cheaper, and last a while.
BassThumb Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 A little Mend-It will double the life of a pack of Senkos. After two fish, take the bait off and set it aside to dry, then Mend-It and get another couple fish with it.
IntroC Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I havent spent a dollar at basspro since I found out about ***. Same here.
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 25, 2011 Super User Posted July 25, 2011 So...We find a way to trash the bait and the retailers? This is why we have a "Senko" section on the forum: Goodnight Irene.
