ok so a friend of mine works at dicks in milford. i always joke with him and tell him to grab a couple packs of senkos for me but he never does. well today he was telling me how i should buy up now cause they are getting marked up in price to $8.99 a pack!!! can anyone back this up and tell me if they've heard the same over if this is bullshit. the sad thing is yamamoto has a great product and he can get it up to that and still people will buy. i know of a guy that will sell me knock offs for 1000 pieces for $179 but that slight weight difference means less fish and i rather go senkos but not for $8.99 a pack

I don't know if it's true or not,..but personally, I would never pay that much for them. I believe that there are numerous other brands now that are just as good, if not better! Just my $.02, though confidence in a bait is a BIG deal,..so if senkos are the only ones that you have confidence in,..then maybe they are worth that much to you!

this other brand ive used are lighter and slightly thinner in diameter. they are more comparable to yum's dingers including the hook slots. i one had fished one color of them and have only used them a few times- one of which i out fished a friend of mine who is dead set on senkos 14 bass to 6 in around a 2hr time from shore at lake wintergreen. my $.02 is with knock offs like what i'm talking about the baits may vary batch to batch where as yamamotos you can count to stay the same each time. now for those that have fished them for awhile now know that the formula for the senkos has begun to change and they are slightly stiffer though still a great bait. as my friend would say; too much time on my hands, but its good to know what your working with.
