stick baits

[georgecopple]

i use exclusively senko's but have a tournament tommorow and noticed i only have 3 green pumpkin senkos left. with my luck, no place in my town carries yamamoto senkos if you can believe it. i have tried the kinami baits but didn't like them. what is the best and closest brand to the senko in terms of softness and action in the water. some baits seem to be to hard and don't have the good shimmy like a senko. i'm sure there are no baits close to as good as a senko but something has to be close. anyone used the net bait salt lick? any info would be awesome.

Yum Dingers are pretty good and the tiki sticks are good. None are as good as the yammy. Use the last 3 senkos you have wisely, they should hit anything right about now

thats what i am going to do. i just want to get some that are good to get me through the day. i will be throwing them wacky with an o-ring so those 3 should last me pretty good, and who knows they might not even be eating that color good. hopefully they like watermelon or black/blue flk. thanks for the input.

I thought Kinami and Yamamoto were the same. Father and sons businesses, but made in the same place and same process.

the kinami's i have used are a lot stiffer than the yamamoto. gary's son sold kinami didn't he?

george,

the best green pumkin senko type bait i have ever use are made by ryan who owns handpouredworms.com. if you can get some of his you will never throw anything else. they have no salt and diffrent rates of fall.

George,
I don't know if Derek sold his part, but Kinami is still listed and available on the GYCB site.
