Tiki Sticks - You like 'em? 2024
Bass_Akwards reply :
Never thrown a Tiki Stick before. You guys like 'em or no?
I like a nice long casting, heavier worm, as opposed to a worm like a "Yum Dinger" which is awesome, just not as heavy as I like.
What's the fall rate like etc. etc.?
(please do not reccomend another brand worm, I'm only curious about this particular soft plastic at this time)
SoFl-native reply :
I like them because they are cheap.
Skunked in DR reply :
not bad. nothing wrong with them, just not my favourite stick bait.
I find they have a little less action than I like. Plenty heavy enough.

PB came on a 5'' Tiki Stick in the smoke shad color
Bass Dude reply :
I liked them too---get 'em while you can, I think they're going out of business.

Ditto, even the same color, LOL. They were the first thing I ever took Bass fishing in NC and as suck I have more confidence in them than just about anything.

I like the Tiki Sticks for smallies. For largemouths, I turn more to the Tiki Bam Boo's. Are there days that other brands are more productive? Sure, but I've also had days go their way too. Hmmmm, that reminds me, I need to add a couple colors! ;D
MSPbass reply :
Not so much. They've got some unique colors, but not enough jiggle.

That wouldn't be cinnamon/blue flake would it? 
That color has produced for me too.

I think they're going to be more of an online distributor and not sell personal orders through their company. I think this was discussed a few months ago.

Exactly! We had a couple guys bust that myth a little while back. Matter a fact, since then, they opened up their new website.
Blue Streak reply :
My favorite is the one made by Case Plastics. They have a good action, are tough, and the price is right.
Lucky Craft Man reply :
Tiki Sticks are probably the only stick worms I use. They are very durable and come in a lot of various colors (though, I only seem to use Watermelon with Black Flake). You were also asking about fall rate. I was curious about the same thing, so I took a Tiki Stick along with 6 other stick worms (including original Senko) and dropped them in the pool at the same time. The Tiki Stick took the longest to sink to the bottom. I like having a slow sink rate, because I can always add a thicker gauge hook or some lead to make it fall faster if I want, but I am not sure there is an easy way to make a stick worm fall slower.
Tuckman reply :
I rotate between tiki sticks, dingers, and senkos regularly and I prefer the dingers, but half (2 out of 4) of my 7+lb New York bass have ate a tiki stick, so I have plenty of faith in them.
This big girl ate a watermelon tiki stick last summer...

What did your other 2 come on?
Paul Roberts reply :
Yup.
Tiki's have the slowest sink rate I've found in stickworms.
Tuckman reply :
Lucky Craft Man,
Both of the other 2 came on jigs...one of them I caught just two weeks ago...the day after cayuta lake iced out...I can find no better one two punch for hawg bass than stickbaits and jigs...they always seem to be eating one of them.
Heres the one from this spring...thats a falcon cara flippin stick next to her just to give you a size estimate.
iceintheveins reply :
They work well, and I like their molopo scent. I prefer senkos though.

DINK WHISPERER reply :
I use these exclusively because they are cheaper than Yamamato. They are dynamite on bass, big and small.
andamtoft reply :
i have had just as much success on these as senkos... i use the baby bass color and do just fine. a little bit tougher than senkos, but that means you are losing action. but the price is right.

X3 smoke shad tiki stick PB
Tiki sticks are all I've ever used, and I disagree with the assessment that they don't wabble much on the fall, I've seen them wabble more than senkos.
they do seem heavier than dingers, and can cast a good distance, just watch the wind
CRFisher reply :
In limited experience I found they're slightly more durable then Senkos and have pretty good action. I was jigging some wacky rigged off a small bridge last year to some success and could see the action quite well. I would say the difference would be neglible. I doubt there will ever be a time that you'll put a Tiki stick in front of a bass and it doesn't bite where the same color Senko would've worked. I'm sure it could happen, but I say the odds are pretty slim and for $2 less a back how much would you have to spend in your lifetime to get one or two more bass. Our course if you're fishing with money on the line it may be worth the extra two bucks for an extra .0001% chance of a bite.
On a side note - they smell awesome.
Georgia Jeff reply :
I love them. They are softer than a BPS stick-o's but I can't say that I have caught any more fish on them than a stick-o.

Awsome post! I will have to try that with my BPS stick-os and ***.
catchnm reply :
Love the Tiki Sticks....and the Molopo scent is awesome! I use Dingers, Tiki Sticks, ***, and Kinamis, do not own an original Senko.
Check this in comparison to the GYB Senko and the Tiki Stick.
Boogey Man reply :
Last year was the first year I've used these type baits. I caught a lot of fish on the 5" smoke shad Tiki Stick rigged wacky style.
zaraspook_dylan2 reply :
i absolutely love them. i have around 20 bags of worms from them.
best worm ive used is made by tiki. i like the 10 inch worm in watermelon flake.
Peacockbass1993 reply :
I love them for top water walk the dog. Wacky rigging they just dont give off the action Id like. The scent is STRONG Ive gotten numerous headaches from it but Im not complaining becausue its gave numerous fish sore lips. ;]
Bassin_Fin@tic reply :
Just for the record my senko is better than your senko :
CWB reply :
No, I don't like 'em, I love 'em!
fishfordollars reply :
I not only like them I hope I have enough to last me until someone buys the mold and continues to produce them.
