What Happened To My Senkos?

[joshholmes]

so i had stayed at a family members house for about a week so when i came back home hallf of my senkos where dried up and hard. my guess is that my room got hot while i was gone and the only way to cool it down is to turn on my fans, which i wasn't there to do. im letting them sit in water right now to try and soften them, and im hoping it worls. anyone else have a similar experience

[detroit1]

I never had that problem.

[BassinMidWest]

What kind of senkos? I've never had them happen to any plastics but berkly Gulp. Hope soaking them in water helps though, senkos (GYCB) ain't cheep.

[B-Dozer]

I bet they were Berkley Gulp as BassinMidWest said.

[clayton86]

Yeah iv had that happen to to some shakey worms that were gulp that I left on the hook

[Elegantly Wasted]

Trigger-X stuff does that too.

[K_Mac]

Yep, I'm guessing "Senkos" in the generic sense. GY Senkos may get a little soft in the heat, but I have some that are several years old that are exactly the same as when the were purchased.

[clayton86]

I have a gycb senko that's been sitting on my dash for over a month out of the bag its still good its there cuz my son likes to play with it and the slurpies beaver he calls em " fish bugs" helps keep him occupied in my car I just give em to him lol. Iv never had that issue with my trigger x stuff I have there lizards few are sitting in a box and the bottom of my bag all they did is loose there oily film so I coat with mega strike anyways

[Crestliner2008]

Gotta be the "Gulp" variety. Which is a good reason not to use that crap. There ain't nothing you can catch on Gulp, that I can't catch using something more reliable and less costly.

i make my own sticks (4" slim sticks) and i have them all over the boat, truck, outside, garage...NEVER had any of them dry out.

[Grey Wolf]

Are you sure they were senko's ?

[shadowchaser]

I had some Trigger-X ones do it.

[joshholmes]

they were gycb senkos. they didnt harden like gulp does, they just got harder than usual. i still dont know what happened

[Diggy]

try microwaving them for a few seconds at a time and see ...start with 1

I have never had any problems with Senkos so your experience is new to me.

I would not think heat would damage Senkos as I have had them in over 100 degree heat with out any problems.

Let us know if you can restore the Senkos.

May I suggust emailing GY and asking his company about the problem and if they have a solution.

[Lucas412]

Never had this issue either and mine are always in the back of my truck under a bed cover in the heat.

[bman310]

I've been using Senkos for the last 5 years and I throw my ripped Senkos in a box and they are left outside in the sun. I've never seen one get dried up or hard. The only soft baits I've had dry up are from Berkley.

[shadowchaser]

Trigger x flutter worms and minnows are the worst for drying up. Berkley gulp is a close second and I got a bucket of 3' berkley hawgs and the things are a bit hard with crappy action.

[tipptruck1]

I have a senko that has been sitting on top of my computer for a few years. No clue why its there. Its covered in dust and its still soft. I also have ones in bags that I know are at lest 6 years old that have been opened. I have never had that happen.

[southtexasbassin]

Tight line lures get some what hard as well.

[rockchalk06]

Were they soaked in anything prior to putting them in the bag? I have 3 different brands that my son plays with in the back of the truck. They have been there for months in the sun weather etc and are still soft.

[fishking247]

i never leave my soft plastics in extreme heat or extreme cold. i don't know if it affects them but i would not take the chance. some people leave their whole tackle bag in the trunk of their car all season
