Something to think about Zimmy - as much as you like bass fishing, just
how
much is a 100-fish-day worth to you? Would you pay $60 if I guaranteed
you
a century day?

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 ;-)

Warren, interesting post, but it proves very little. Sure, I'd pay $60 for a
100-fish day, but that doesn't mean that a 100-fish day can't be had for
$30.

And yes, a $7 spinnerbait that hammers fish is a relative bargain, but that
doesn't mean that there isn't a $4 spinnerbait that hammers fish and is even
a greater bargain.

Gary might not be worried because he's a marketing genius, but that doesn't
mean there aren't knockoffs that are just as good.

Naturally, you and me and everyone has to use what we have confidence in.
Even though I use Yum Dingers at times, and think they're just as effective,
I still use Senkos when I'm serious, because I'd have that nagging little
thought about whether I could do better with the original. But not everyone
has my insecurities.

I caught my best bass today on a Senko. Of course I can't prove it, but I'm
confident that any number of baits in the same place at the same time would
have caught that fish.
