I love Senkos but...

They are so darn expensive!

Is there a comparible product that "copies" them real well, for less?

I tried the 4" Yum Dingers late last season on a very limited basis and was
very pleased. There's no way of knowing for sure, of course, but I had
confidence that I caught about the same number of bass with them as I would
have with Senkos. They cost 27¢ each compared to 60¢ for Senkos. In the 4"
size, the Yums are approximately 15% lighter.

I used the Gambler version of the Senko's in Florida and was really
impressed, very soft but a little more than half price of Senkos, 8 count
bag for 2.99 and that was at the local gas station They didn't have many
colors to choose from but they did produce fish.

A real good selection of soft senko type stick baits can be found at the
wacky worm, www.wackyworm.com.

Huge variety of colors to choose from, very durable, great salt content and
good falling action. I stock about 300 of these with my other tackle because
they produce a lot of fish. I have not noticed any difference fishing these
compared to fishing senkos, and I was one of the die hard pay the price for
the product type guys, not anymore. 2.99 for a 10 pack and around 13.00 for
a 50 ct. They have 5.5 inch 4 inch 3 inch, slims, chubby's craws and flukes.
I was in there not too long ago and saw an employee weighing each wacko on a
small digital scale. If it weighed less that a certain amount it was put on
the side. I asked what he was doing and he explained that some are lighter
that what is expected, and those are pulled out from production batches.
Pretty neat quality control. and by the way just to let anyone who is
interested know. I have no affiliation with them what so ever. Just a good
product

I have used Wacko's by Wack Worm, good price and they work very well,
Stiko's from BPS, just as good, Whacky Sticks from Creame, limited but
good colors, they are having a 2 for 1 sale now, they have a hook slot,
I caught 19 bass using just 2..
