Best Senko knockoffs 2024

Anglin reply :

im still in college and senkos are pretty pricey making it pretty hard for me to stay stocked up year round. I tried substituting the senko for a stik-o but i find i dont get that same downward action for the stik-o. Anybody have good recommendations for a good knockoff?

Marty reply :

I've read reports over the years that say good things about a lot of the other brands. I personally have used (in addition to Senkos) Zoom Z-Nails and Yum Dingers and am very pleased with both.

Cold Steel Walking stick

Yum Dingers

Edge Speed Fall

BPS stik-o

The Zoom Z-nail just doesnt look like a senko to me.

Fishin49er reply :

Wave Worms Tiki Stiks

Daniel My Brother reply :

When the bite is tough, there is nothing better than a senko. When the fish are actively feeding, I like the knock-offs. My favorite is the Tik-Stick.

When a big bite is on, anything will work. The rest of the time, NOTHING compares to a Senko.

This bait might be the #1 bass catching bait of all-time. Knock-offs are just that, something less.

NEBassMan reply :

Always have great success with the Yum Dinger.

Brad_Coovert reply :

The most popular knockoff is probably the "trick stick". It is a mass produced generic bait sold by dozens of different bait companies, stores, etc. as their own Senko knockoff. The colors are usually the same from seller to seller.

Do some Googling and you should find many of them.

There was a time where i just got started into bass fishing, and used nothing but senkos, and man was i happy. I caught 4-8 bass everyday i went fishing. I used tiki sticks and yum dingers. On some days, it was the tiki's that worked. On others, the yum dingers. I think that it all depends on the situation. But sometimes when theres pond scum(as i call it), run it across the top wether it be tiki sticks or yum dingers, its the best to see the bass explode on top.

Alpster reply :

I like Wave worms, they work for me.

When I first started fishing Senkos, all I was aware of were the Yum Dingers. I had never bought a Yamamoto bait and didn't know anything about the Yamamoto brand or the reputation that they had built up.

I caught lots of fish on the Yum knock-offs - they work. Granted not as well as the Yamamotos, but they will still catch lots of fish for the money.

Kinami Baits. You can find them at wallmart and they are on clearance.

I personally couldn't come up with results to prove this, some say they have but I , personally, couldn't. They are softer, very true. As for catch rates, ours didn't change when we stopped paying $7 for 10.

as far as I am concerned, it's a personal preference. It all depends on how much you like your money,lol.

The 2 positives I have found with the yamamoto company are:

The fat ika

Yamamoto gives ALOT to kids groups, including CAST for kids foundation.

Thanks GYCB

HPBB reply :

Have tried alot of Knock off and they were the waist of $$.

Its a real senko or nothing

Redtail reply :

I was in college once too my young friend and I know how hard it can be to come up with enough green backs to do much of anything!

I have fished with LBH several times and he outfishes me using ***. For the money, they can't be beat! Great alternative to GYCB.

burleytog reply :

I've tried several of the non-Yamamoto stick baits. The BPS Stik-O is a good one. I don't consider the Kinami Flash to be a 'knock-off' as it is made by Yamamoto.

The one bait that I have been really disappointed with are the Case Magic Sticks.

Bankbeater reply :

I like the Bass Pro Stik-O's, Zoom Z-nail, and the Wave Tiki Stiks.

.ghoti. reply :

I carry a few Dingers, for the times when the bite is on. But when the bite is tough, there is no replacement for the original. I tried the Tiki and the *** versions. No success with them, gave "em away. Yum Dingers are, in my experience the best Senko knock-off.

Asking what is the best senko knock-off is like asking who is the best second string quarterback.

Cheers,

ww2farmer reply :

I have tried them all.........GYCB, Tiki sticks, BPS stick-o's, gulp sinking minnows, Yum dingers, and on and on............For the $ the yum dinger is the best IMHO period. Tough bite or not. I have never had a day where I couldn't get bit with the dinger, then put a senko on and the fish magicly jumped in the boat. I don't even buy senkos anymore, unless I am out of dingers. I do think the senko is better than the rest I mentioned, I just find the dinger hard to beat. "Original" does not always = "best". I for one would like to see some hard proof that senkos out fish the knockoff's...............other than the typical " Well I wuz fishin with the senkos out the front of the boat, and my buddy was useing super salty slick sticks, and I wuz catching 10lbers left and right and all he pulled in wuz clumps of hydrilla..........woo hoo git-r-done...." :

Remembering the day Bledsoe got hurt and Tom Brady stepped onto the field. Ghoti, you hit the nail on the head!!

FishTank reply :

I have tried so many different worms over the years I have lost track but nothing compares to the Senko. If they stopped making Senkos tomorrow, I might go to Yum Dingers as a replacement.

UGHHHHHHHHH NOT A PATRIOTS FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laugh it up at me, for I am a BILLS fan, we will have or day in the sun again, and maybe this time we will win a super bowl, thank god we got rid of Bledsoe too..........that alone increased our chances of returning to decency.

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Noone gets laughed at here. Anyone who is from New England can surely feel for the giants fan. You're a loyal bunch too.

Hale reply :

Check out the Fatzilla SD by Micro Munch Tackle (earthworm77). They arent true senko knock offs....same design; just big, fat, and nasty!

Curado reply :

Another vote for the Yum Dinger.

SenkoSnack808 reply :

I fish senkos more then most other plastics combined in the spring. I have to say I have used most styles out there, and the Bass Pro Stik-o in the 4 1/4 is my money bait. I have had problems with the GYCB's ripping after a few fish!

They are so cheap, 25 for 5 bucks! And sometimes they are on sale for less.

shimanogloomis man reply :

i use yum dingers they work great ;D

Dan: reply :

I like Yum Dingers as well.

ww2farmer reply :

ALRIGHT THATS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................keep it quite on the Yum dingers. BTW they stink, never caught a thing on them.........buy Senko's insted

bocabasser reply :

i catch an equal amount of fish using many different stik baits. certain places the senko is king, other places the stik-o is king. somedays that want nothing to do with either and all they want is a gambler ace. another option would be to save all of your soft plastics, make a mold and pour them yourself.
