Where to buy bulk Senkos and how long will they last sealed? 2024
tcbass reply :
I have plenty of Senkos but my friends and I really like cinnamon brown for the lakes we fish and I think they do work better (probably just my imagination - however I think they are also easier to see underwater which helps sight fishing). I bought a bulk 100 pack of green ones a few years ago from Tackle Warehouse but was only able to get green because they didn't have the bulk 100 pack in cinnamon brown (which I think is the closet to earthworm color, which is why it's such a successful color).
I haven't seen bulk packs of Senkos at TW or anywhere else since.
1.) Where can I get bulk 100 packs of Senkos in cinnamon brown?
2.) How long will a new, un-opened pack of Senkos last? (I would like to buy two to three 100 packs to last me a few years and want to make sure that new, un-opened ones won't dry out and go bad.)
3.) How long will Senkos in the package last once the bag they are in is opened and the bag is continuously opened and closed?

They use salt which likes to absorb water. So as said keep them airtight

That is full price. I should have said I meant buying in bulk to save money. Like if you buy a 100 pack it's $80 instead of $120.
PECo reply :
Dick's Sporting Goods is the best place I've found to buy Senkos.
Recently, it was selling four packs for $25. I'd buy eight packs for $50 and use a $10 off $50 purchase coupon. That's eight packs for $40, which is $5 per pack.

You'll have to do the work, and wait for a sale, like mentioned above.

Get the Bass Pro Stik-O worms. They can be bought in bulk packs and work just as good as Senkos in my opinion. Plus they are cheaper.
TOXIC reply :
GYCB stopped production of the 100 ct bags. They are not available in "bulk" as in loose packaging, they do not sell unpackaged which is where the bulk retailers get theirs. They also do not package for anyone else like most plastic manufacturers do so you get the same bait from different companies at different prices. Your best bet would be to call them in Page, AZ directly and if you get enough friends to go together, they may cut you a deal. I know the minimum order for a custom color is 500.

As mentioned above, look at the BPS Sticko. They flat out catch fish just like the GY brand. You can get bulk bags.

During a Christmas sale (I think) I got a couple of the 50 packs for $9.98.

6" Stik-O pack of 16 currently on sale for $4.63 each. A bit more than a dollar off the regular price.

They go on sale for Christmas, and a BIG sale usually for the Spring Classic.

Are you talking about Senko's or BPS? And what website?

BPS Stik-O. I got two packs at $9.98 each. Ordered them from the website. I can't remember if it was Christmas or the spring sale.
Ratherbfishing reply :
Red and green make brown (sort of cinnamony) so you might try dipping the ones you have in a weak red dye.
NHBull reply :
If you were fishing for money, I doubt folks would choose the BPS version. That said, I use both and have no problem throwing the BPS if I soak them in secret sauce. Wally what some great prices and make it worth the adventure...

Do you really think, all things being equal, that there are scenarios where you make the same cast to the same spot and one would get bit and another wouldnt?

I do....convinced myself years ago...and still believe it
That's not to say that my differing confidence levels might not affect my presentation...probably will

Absolutely....the rate of fall and movement both contribute to the presentation. While it may not be an issue around spawn, it does on heavy pressured lakes mid Summer.
I believe it they were the same price as BPS most would buy the GY....
Regardless, it sounds like you disagree, and that's OK. It's just an opinion formed from MY observation

*meant to quote @NHBull
It's not that I disagree I just think we (bass fisherman) tend to overestimate the fish and I'm legitimately curious. It is my feeling, based on no concrete evidence, that it would be very difficult for a fish to notice subtle differences in fall rate and action. I see a difference in the fall rate but my brain can also make a lot more calculations per second than the LMB. To me the difference in action is negligible to my eye. Thoughts?

This is anecdotal.....I often have fishing parties in my boat and folks using the GY usually out perform all others, whether it is Texas or wacky. To use your point, all 4 inch chad would catch the same fish as would the same color crankbaits, ect. I can't get there....if price was the same, what would you buy? Apologies to the OP for a brief hijack.

Ive tried BPS and other knockoffs and nothing worked as well as Senkos. Thx though.
WRB reply :
GYCB makes 2 types of Senko's, standard, pro series in different lengths. They also offer at least 4 different cinamon brown colors; 176, 215, 221 & 241, you need to be specific with color numbers.
Call GYCB direct to order in bulk.

Do you know when they started this policy? A local-ish store has a few hundred packs last time I was there, but the place isnt very old.
cgolf reply :
Just curious to all those knocking the imitation vs the real thing. My guess is that if the salt content and plastic formulation are slightly different, then you got yourself two different baits that will sink at a different rate and shimmy differently on the drop. My guess is because of that depending on conditions one will out produce the other, and it won't always be that one is always dominant. Kind of similar to changing your sinker weight with other plastics to change up the fall rate depending on the bass' mood.
Sorry to to the OP for the continued hijacking of the thread, but the convo got me thinking.

Knock offs are rarely as good as the original and Senko's are the original. Everyone tries to get on the band wagon by duplicating the lure that created the classification by offering a lower price point, never a superior lure. What anyone needs to consider is price per unit by dividing the price by number of pieces in the bag. Now consider the price per hour on the water vs number of bass caught per hour. The original is always a better deal.

I've ordered special runs of Senkos. Although you are looking for a standard SKU so it should be easier.
I needed 6-inch Smoke/Hologram Senkos. Their standard SKUs have 5" and 7 inch. No 6"
I went through a dealer who worked with me to order and gave me a small discount off retail.
It took several months by the way. I had to buy the whole run. 1,750 baits and I had them packed in 50-count bags. (That's 35 bags.) I sold 20 bags to friends. (They had agreed to buy, before I ordered.)
I use them for pitching in all types of cover. (Hence the 6-inch, which is a little heavier.) I've used 2.5 bags so far. And, I have a bunch of broken ones on my work bench waiting to be mended.)
Did I mention this is the best color/size? PM if you want more details.
Boomstick reply :
I've been buying mine on an as needed basis at the local Walmart for convenience but I they are either $5.69 or $6.29 there anyway depending on the color, so most bulk orders really aren't that much cheaper.
TOXIC reply :
Within the last year or so. Just make sure someone hasn't bought bulk "Senko-Like" baits and packaged them up as the originals. They could have ordered the 100 count bags before GYCB stopped that packaging as well. If you want, I can take a pic of what the factory 100 count bags look like.

Thanks for the info. I would love to see a pic if it's no trouble. I trust this guy, but I travel for work all the time and am allways hunting around small tackle shops for deals or weird stuff.
