Has anybody tried the "Wave Worms"?
And if so wat color?
cbfishalot reply :
Just buy the GYCB senko's and save yourself the time there isn't another bait or knockoff that comes close. Just my 2 cents!!!!!!!

I don't know of any color Tiki Stick that doesn't work well.
Color means far more to fishermen than it does to fish,
for this reason it's vital that the angler choose his own colors.

They are great baits. Very economical too. Pretty much any color will work. I tend to stick with the more natural ones though.

I use wave worms and have for many years with no problem,the bass im holding in my avitar was cought on a red shad wave worm.Im a believer. 
jb_adams reply :
I love them. So do the fish! ;D
Much cheaper than GYB. I always like to make a joke when I'm putting one on a hook. I'll start making comments to the Tiki God of fish praying for a good catch. Drives my partner nuts!
Avalonjohn44 reply :
The Tiki Stick is fashioned after the senko, but it comes in better colors, and is tougher than the senko, it'll last for more fish. You are not paying what is becoming a ridiculous price of senkos either, you can get Tikis for under $3. The action of the Tiki Stick is more preferable to me most occasions, it sinks a little slower, and is more supple. It is infused with salt and anise/molopo, but not so much salt that it makes the worm unusable. In the situations I fish, it out-performs the Senko almost every time my brother has gotten it into his head that nothing in the world will ever be as good as fishing-messiah-Gary's senko, but I routinely out-fish him on Tikis in fact, he has not caught more fish than me in the last 2 years since I found Tiki Sticks.
Occasionally I will get a better bite on the Senko, but not often. I am not saying this is the same everywhere, but on the 8-12 fishing holes I hit (ponds/lakes/rivers), the Tiki works better for me for more than just one reason
But Wave worms are not just the Tiki Stick. They have a whole bunch of styles, Tiki Stick is just one of them. I also use Wave Worm Lizards and their Jerk Bait with a long tail. Their lizards are very nice, they are ribbed, and have the salt/anise like the rest of Wave worms products. I just bought some Bamboo Sticks from Wave and can't wait to buy them.

No, I have never fished one.
However, there are lots of guys on this site that have done very well with a variety of knock-offs.
Gorgebassman reply :

That probably helped this guy allot.

Good one, but I doubt that will stop the irrelevant comments. :-?
I use wave worms also. I'm not sure of the color name, but I've had incredible luck on the black/red/yellow swirl.

Well, sometimes it's hard to be funny on the internet even when I try...For some of the members that have been around awhile, maybe there was a little implied humor...I fish GYCB soft plastics almost exclusively, am NOT sponsored, but promote them a A LOT and have submitted a couple of posts detailing why... I even experimented with some other brands and hand pours now and again...
So, I'm NOT going to launch a diatribe against another knock-off. All soft plastics will catch some bass on occasion and there are several members that have tremendous success with the Tiki Stick. I'm not one of them. I quit using 5" Senkos because I caught too many fish. I now fish the 6" version to discourage smaller bass from biting. Sometimes it works.
I think Wave Worms, Tiki Sticks and a lot of other knock-offs will work most of the time and especially when the bite is strong. GYCB Senkos might work better when the bite is tough, but they seem to work for me all the time.
Is that more helpful?
Lucky Craft Man reply :
I wrote this in my other post. I don't really think one works over another. I think it is a matter of confidence. If you have confidence in your Senko or Tiki Stick or Dinger, then you may tend to have the patience to let it sit a little longer (which I found produces strikes) or you may concentrate on the line movement a little more with a bait you have faith in.
I personally love the Tiki Sticks and use them more then any other Senko type bait. What I like about them is that they fall slower then any other Senko knock off (or Senko itself). I dropped 8 different Senko type baits in a tub full of water and the Tiki Stick sunk twice as slow as the rest. So if I want a little faster fall out of my Tiki Stick, I just add a heavier gauge hook and if I want the slow fall, I use a lighter gauge hook. I like having the versatility with the Tiki Stick that no other Senko type bait gives you. As for colors, watermelon, junebug, cinnamon, and red shad are my favorite.

While pond fishing over the weekend, my buddy caught a bass that had not one but two Tiki Sticks in sweet potato pie sticking out of its throat. A hour later he caught another bass that puked another Tiki stick out on the bank when he landed the fish. :-?

senile1 reply :
I like Wave worms. I haven't tried their other baits . . . . yet. I do wish they made the worms in a larger size.

Good color.

pondhopper reply :
I'm never without sticks and crawdudes. White is the only color I have found no use for.

Hey, RW. Just to let you know you're not losing too many brain cells, I picked up on your humor. You and those darned Senkos, G.Loomis rods, and Shimano reels . . . . . when are you going to learn?

You forgot the Yo-Zuri Hybrid Line (also offered in Ultra Soft)
.ghoti. reply :
A while back I told myself that i'd never again get into one of these "senko vs knock-offs" debates. However, this one is quite timely. I just got back from an awesome trip to Trophy Country. I caught about 125 bass in approx 18 hours of fishing time, with a six pounder being the biggest. Also got two fives. Right before we left, I ran into another angler who goes there regularly, and he claimed to have torn them up on the Tiki stick. I decided to try them again, my first experiment being a miserable failure. Got one pack of sweet potato pie, his favorite color, and another in a shad looking color.
The first thing I noticed was the Tiki does not wiggle on the fall. It just glided down. The second thing is the Tiki seemed to be much tougher than the Senko. I don't know if the toughness will make it last longer than the senko because I DID NOT CATCH ANY FISH ON THE TIKI. If you don't catch any fish, you can use one senko all day long too.
I caught fish on Senko's, Ika's, Super Flukes, Power worms, Zoom tubes, spinnerbaits, GYCB creatures, Power hawgs, Paca craws and X-Raps. The six bit a Super Fluke, one five hit an Ika, the other a Power Hawg.
I did not catch fish on Tiki's, forked tail Dingers, or any topwater baits.
Needless to say, I've bought my last package of tiki's.
Cheers,
GK

I didn't think this thread was intended to be a debate about Senkos vs "knockoffs." The original poster wanted to know what eveybody thinks about Wave Worms. I catch quite a few bass on Wave Worms t-rigged with no weight. I prefer Senkos for wacky rigging due to the movement that ghoti mentioned.
Ghoti, were you wacky-rigging or t-rigging the Tiki sticks?

Senile1, you are always the gentleman, and sure know your way around Sour Grapes ;D

moby bass reply :
I decided to give the Wave worms a try so a couple of weeks ago I bought several packages at Wally
World. I caught one bass at my local pond with one and haven't had any other success with them......
until today. I stopped off at the river, for a few minutes, with a minimum of tackle. Because storms were imminent I hadn't planned to stay too long. I was fishing a Tiki stick weightless and just pulling it slowly through the water creating a slim profile and a very nice Northern decided it looked very tasty. After a brief fight and some spectacular tail walks I had him close to the bank but he broke my line. I was ill prepared with wrong rod(line) no net and no pliers. So he's swimming around with a Shad laminate Tiki Stick. I hope some one else gets him and gets the hook out. Minnows under bobbers seem to be the popular bait for bass in our river and apparently pike like that look as well. I will definitely be back with the Tiki stick, trying again.
BassFishingMachine reply :
The only waveworm I like is the Sweet Potato Pie color in 5inch, theres just something about that color which I have confidence in. Other then that the only stick baits I fish are Senkos/Dingers.
.dsaavedra. reply :
i love the tiki sticks. they are much cheaper than the yamamoto kind. and they have a neat scent on them. i think they call it monolopo or soemthing. my walmart sells the waveworm tiki sticks and they sell kinami, which is a company started by gary yamamotos's son. the kinami flash is the same thing as the senko and tiki stick. but i do alot of wacky rigging and the number one stick worm for that is the strike king 3x zero. those things never tear and are so skwishy and wiggly they are PERFECT for wacky riggin. i like shad colotrs or red or white.
