Come underwater and compare 7 popular stick baits! We've got the Yamamoto Senko, Yum Dinger, Gambler Fat Ace, Big Bite Baits Trick Stick, and the Magnum Baits Soft Stick, and we're comparing them in multiple sizes! We're rigging them on a wacky rig, a texas rig, and a weighted wacky hook to see which method creates the best action for each bait.
If you've ever wanted to see what your stick bait is doing below the surface, this video is for you! Is a senko really worth the money? Is a wacky rig really the best action? Its not that simple!! Pay close attention to how the different hooks completely change the action of the bait. One bait might look terrible on a wacky rig and great on a weighted wacky, or vice versa.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits in the video. We've also included links to the exact rigging components, as well as some of the rod and reel combos we use to fish these stick baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Finally someone is talking about the weighted wacky rig instead of just the neko. Thank you

@lim_jaheylol778 2 года назад

Weighted wacky rig is actually super underrated. Back in like, 2012/13 I started fishing the Wacky Rig and I saw a weighted O ring, gave it a try and I love it

@muherd79 Год назад

Drop shot wacky is probably better than weighted but I always do better with it weightless 🤷‍♂️

@CBALLZ666 2 года назад

I prefer the weighted wacky rigs, it's a little easier to cast, and it sinks a little quicker, or at least I thought it did prior to seeing this footage. Plus after seeing it under water here, the action is amazing. So far I've only been throwing 1/16oz wacky rig, may drop down to that 3/32 next time I make a TW order. I love these underwater footage videos, it gives us so much information about what's going on with our baits. Thank you TB for taking the time to make these videos, it is greatly appreciated. You peeps have been helping so many anglers become better at this sport over the years, you guys are the best on YT. 👍🏻💯🇺🇸🐟🎣👌🏻👊🏻

@JBfishing619 2 года назад

99percent of my bites are on the fall. I just cast it out let it fall to the bottom. No bites reel back in and repeat. The senko has it's own action so we really don't need to do anything but let the bait fall to the bottom! Great video!!

I've been using a very small unpegged worm bullet weight above the hook on my wacky rigs to help them fall a little faster with more action. I love the wacky rig and have caught quite a few fish in the short time I've been using it.

Yes Sir! I had no idea that the transducer made noise underwater. I'm not new to the sport, but I'm not a pro either. I could totally hear it in this video. I'm sure some fish are use to it, but I'm sure it can make some of them shy to bite or come out of the cover to hit your lure. 👍🏻

Very cool video Tim. It really does help to see what the bait actually looks like. In my mind the whacky rig would of had more action but the Texas rigged I was shocked at how great it looks.

@gregblake8810 2 года назад

Senko, simply the very best. I've been using senkos since i believe 1998-1999. Tried others, but there was no replacing a senko. My fishing experience was dramatically improved by a senko. The best lure for bass and spots. I use 5 rigs. Weightless texas, weightless wacky, weighted wacky and weighted texas. I even use a flipping hook and a 6" or 7" senko, no weight, the hook needs to bend the senko when the hook point is inserted into the senko. When you twitch it the senko will twist and is erratic in motion. Works very well during spawn and post spawn.

@user-pf8lg6uy2s 18 дней назад

Senkos are great baits but are one fish wonders . My bank account isn't big enough to use them very often.

@Nasymvei 2 года назад

Love the Yum Dingers. I haven't tried Gary Yamamoto yet. Not that I was disappointed with the action of Yums, but those Senkos have such a great shimmy to them. Thank you!

@ColoradoFishing Год назад

Awesome video. We've had great lucky all of June fishing with the Wacky Rig, less luck with Texas but Wacky was nuts. Posted quite a few videos showing how successful this rig is...it's crazy. I prefer the finesse style, smaller worm and hook, and light line, but I lose a lot more due to the hook type.

@teamflanneloutdoors5631 9 месяцев назад

Excellent video as usual, Thanks👍🏻 I use heat shrink tubing and a heat gun on my Senkos-very economical. I prefer 1/8 weighted on rivers for Smalljaws and 1/16 for lake largies. If the bite is tough I’m rigging a Senko.

@danham3344 2 года назад

Wow, I learned a ton on this one. I’m a “details” guy and each bait absolutely had it’s differences. My biggest takeaway wasn’t mentioned but I was amazed by the Texas Rigged baits. If you go back and watch, The hook gave most of them a slight “head down” posture so the primary action(tail wag) actually created a secondary action. The Texas rig actually has a side to side roll created by the tail wag and it looks like it’s swimming. Especially on the 6” baits. Very similar to what the correct trailer does to a swim jig. Really great footage Tim. It will completely change how I fish these stick baits. Thanks for this one and for ALL your great content.

@tacticalbassin 2 года назад

It also gave the baits more erratic action on the hop.

@WhoGuyThat 2 года назад

Most bass I ever caught in one day was on a weightless texas rig. Looking forward to watching this and learning how to fish a weighted wacky. Love them weightless but never tried a weighted one. Love the vids guys, keep up the good work!

@tdeeb6359 2 года назад

@Buford_T_Justice 2 года назад

My favorite 5" stick bait is the Berkley Maxscent General. Similar fall rate (if not faster) to the Senko on a weightless wacky hook. I like the matte finish and that powerbait scent can't hurt. Unfortunately, they are even more expensive than Senkos and harder to find.

@farrzmd3038 2 года назад

Great video. I’ll def be trying the the weighted wacky after seeing this. I only throw the 6” senko weightless Texas rigged. I’ve caught fish the size of the bait.

@603outdoors7 11 месяцев назад

I almost always throw a light weighted wacky rig opposed to weightless. It falls just about as slow and like the underwater footage shows, seems to have a better action. Another plus is I find that it will fall more vertical than a weightless in windy conditions. Great content!

@anangrycustomer2913 2 года назад

I love these underwater videos that allows us to see exactly how a bait moves when you can't see it. My pick is always the senko. Ya just can't beat it. Watching the weighted wacky is definitely interesting 🤔

@danieltaylor9459 Год назад

It IS the best-but I just wish they weren’t so goddamn expensive. Bass pro has a good stick bait, and I love the dingers (can’t beat them for the price)

@@danieltaylor9459 Cuz you're paying for something that works. I don't care for the Dingers or anything by yum. Bass pro brand items are eh.

@danieltaylor9459 Год назад

@An Angry Customer Can’t deny that. 🤷‍♂️ They work amazing-and the action is phenomenal. Even if they were slightly more durable…that’d be fantastic-but the most fish I catch on a senko is one or two before the bait gets absolutely torn apart or if it’s ripped off the o-ring. I think the dingers with a light weighted wacky hook work very similarly-at least that’s the best comparison I’ve found.

@anangrycustomer2913 Год назад

@@danieltaylor9459 it probably is the high salt content making them not so durable. But I personally still only use the Yamamoto senko. And I don't know what everyone is doing wrong, because I've never had a senko get destroyed that fast

I throw weighted wacky rigs all the time, not neko rigs, and there are several methods I use depending on how deep the water is. Ever fished a wacky in 15-20 feet of water? I do it all the time. You just have to know how to rig it. From my experience, Yum dingers and Creme stickbaits perform the best.

I LOVE the YUM Dingers for their durability and ESPECIALLY their affordability! They are STIFF for sure, and DON'T SINK FAST. This, however, DOES NOT mean they are garbage. YUM Dingers are my favorite stickbaits for the Neko Rig and weighted Wacky Rig with a weedless Wacky jig, by far! They certainly benefit from the weight since they are salt-free plastic and sink extremely slow when weightless. Moreover, the STIFFNESS of the YUM Dinger is a REAL ASSET for the RECOIL BACK TO STRAIGHT you get after you tug the Neko Rig forward or when the Wacky jig comes to rest. IMO you do NOT want a soft stickbait for these two rigging options. However, I DO NOT EVER fish the YUM Dingers WEIGHTLESS, either as Texas rigged or Wacky rigged. The stiffness that comes with their durability creates almost NO ACTION on a weightless fall, NOT AT ALL WHAT YOU WANT. For weightless rigs I "stick" (see what I did there?) with the Bass Pro Shops Stik-O and the Z Man ZinkerZ.

@Nasymvei 2 года назад

Been fishing what is now called a wacky rig since the late 90,s. Won a lot of tournaments for years with it. We started just by hooking it dead center of the bait but we were tearing up alot of Senkos. So I stole some oil rings out of my dads caterpillar oil ring kit and started hooking them that way. We also would slide the oil ring almost to the very end and hook them that way also instead of a Texas Rig. I’m glad it took so long to finally catch on.

I have no clue why they work so much better but I know I’m never using any rubber worms that aren’t from Yamamoto again.

@DistractedReality476 2 года назад

@iwillkechu Год назад

Great stuff Tim. I noticed that your line angle for this was mostly vertical or close to it. Do you think a longer cast with a more horizontal line angle and line will have effect on the falls and action? And also, how much does line weigh/size change the actions if at all? Mostly curious in seeing the difference between the action and falls when fishing open water with 10lb vs heavy cover areas like the delta with 15lb+ line.
