And I was right there with you guys when it came to using senko's. Nothing
but the real thing, maybe a lot of it is confidence but a 50 pack of wacko's
will produce the same amount of fish as a 50 pack of senkos on my boat, and
I don't care who you are. Is there a time and place for originals? Yes,
Burger King, Pepsi, Breyers Ice Creame, You bet. But soft plastics at 60
cents a piece? Not in my lifetime, not when there are others that produce
just as good at half the cost. Maybe if I was more of a recreational angler
I would just stick with the senkos, But I can easily lose/use 70 of these a
week and at 60 cents each thats $42.00. This obsession of mine is not cheap
to begin with, never mind an additional 20-40 bucks a week for rubber worms.
Just my two cents...ok more like 4 cents : -0

What Mr Rickard is saying makes perfect sense (as usual). $7
spinnerbaits
that hammer fish are a relative bargain, as are 60-cent plastics that
kick
butt.

There are a bunch of guys making imitation Senko's, but do you think Mr
Yamamoto is worried?

I think not. As for me, I'll keep shelling out my $60/100 for the real
McCoy ;-)

Randy and Dave laughed at me today because I still fish Gary's product
and haven't switched to the Wacko.

I'm sure there are a few reasons I haven't switched to one of the
knock-off sticks yet. Firstly, it's one of the few things in which I
have brand loyalty. Along with Shimano reels, St. Croix rods (and/or
blanks), Secret Weapon spinnerbaits and Lunker City Fin-S Fish. Simply
the best at what they are and what they do IMO.

Secondly, I have tried many of the knock-off sticks and simply I
haven't found any that do the job any better than the real Senko.

Lastly is confidence. I believe in them.

$5.98 for a pack of worms? Heck yeah. For every ten pack I can
reasonably expect to catch 3-4 fish (or more). Sounds like a bargain
to me!
