Senko's

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!

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

Randy buddy, you couldn't be more of a recreational angler! In fact, based
on your stories & photos, you might just be the ultimate recreational angler
:-)

I'm looking forward to doing some recreational angling alongside you soon
buddy.

Wrong, Warren, to use drug terms, a recreational user might partake at a
party now and then, but an addict has to have it daily, and has
withdrawal symptoms if he doesn't get it. I've never met Randy, but from
his posts I can tell he's a full-fledged, chum snortin', wall-eyed, lure
painting, photo taking bass-head!

Amen to that!

I have to agree with you Henry. It is only getting worse. I can't get enough
fishing in and this come from someone that gets out once or twice a day most
days. When I was just fishing from shore, I couldn't get enough. Now that I
am out on the puddle pusher, it's a daily thing. Like changing my socks or
going to work. It's something I have to do each day. To not do so would be a
waste.

A recreational angler IMO is someone who thinks it might be nice to sit by
the lake with a bobber and some worms every now and then. Much like yourself
Warren I would love to take my bass fishing to another level. One day I
might get that chance. I just want to make sure that if it ever comes along,
I'm ready for it. I live for competition. I could think of nothing better
than fishing against top anglers from around the world and watching that
line run to the left 15 minutes before weigh in right after I pulled my bait
off a lilly pad or stump or rock etc etc etc. :-) Most bass fisherman say
they live for the fight, I fish for the 1 second before I set the hook, not
knowing what just picked up my lure. There is nothing like that feeling in
the world. Hooking a double with Harry today, will be a memory I won't soon
forget.

I also look forward to doing some recreational fishing with you Warren. I've
only fished with you a few times but I have learned much more than you will
ever realize you gave up. I look forward to exploiting that once again..In
the kindest of ways of course ;-)

Nice, Randy, you've taken a big step. Now tell us about how last winter
you were trying to decide which would be easier:

1. Move down south so you could fish 365 days a year.
2. Use large parabolic mirrors to keep the ice off your favorite lake.
3. Build a greenhouse over a pool in the backyard to keep a few fish in.

C'mon, you know you did!
Don't think I'm trying to get you to stop, this isn't illegal drugs,
this is the GOOD STUFF!

I tried fishing through the ice a few times but it just didn't work out. I
am not a penguin!!! If changing seasons were not a must for me, then I would
definetly move south. I would love to be able to fish the Big O down in
Florida every day. Now that my friends was a hell of a lake. I just can't
deal with the heat all year long. But I can't say I haven't thought about
the mega millions jackpot and buidling my own dome lake complete with
changing seasons at a push of the button. Now that would be cool. Got to get
some sleep registration for tomorrow tourney is at 3 a.m..and they call me
crazy for getting up early to fish??????????????????
