Senko VS Bass Pro Shops Stik-O - Underwater Footage

[@StewartLindsey]

Im certain, that by watching these test, and seeing you toss these stick baits out over and over and over, it is slowly making me a better stick bait fisherman. I kid you not, this is the type of videos I've been looking for. Good job man.

[@lukeknox2114]

Senko for tourney time, Stik-o everywhere else.

[@jakemiller9478]

Yup

[@drewcruikshank1979]

This⬆️

[@tjmarkham2296]

Agree with this fella

[@ThirdStreet.]

Absolutely agree.

[@sdhookin1491]

Agreed

[@FishingWithNorm]

My honest opinion is that they are both best for their own reasons. I like to us the bass pro shops stik-o for situation when you are casting because it is more dense and you can get it to travel farther. I like the senko for pitching because the slower rate of fall and the action.

[@StupidFyeSnipers]

The little box cam in the corner showing how you go about popping the bait while its underwater was a nice new feature. As always great video always look forward to them daily!

[@Gilltech]

I THINK THE BPS BAIT IS PRETTY CLOSE TO GARRYS , PLUS BPS HAS A GREAT PRICE.

[@DoomsdayTackle]

Would you compare our stickbait with the others if we send them to you?

[@zzepichazezz3826]

would love to see that actually

[@Big_willf]

let's see that

[@Ohe11itsODell]

this.

[@scrubout1]

Try this

[@Austin51x]

That would be sweet to see

[@johnr5608]

These stickbait comparisons are gold. Thanks for helping us make an informed decision

[@nicklorentz380]

I'm buying bass pro for now on it's almost the same but Cheeper

[@LadyBass]

agreed!

[@Aksulh54]

And you can get 50 of them

[@bobstigler]

+Nick Hluska yep bps stick-o worms always worked great for me too...and waaay cheaper

[@ibrahimpatel5164]

Yes they are

[@Otownbassin]

I just bought a 30 pack for about $1.50 more than a 10 pack of yamamoto's would cost. If you can get the 50 pack sale than it's the best deal on the market.

[@carterman9741]

Bass pro did really well compared to the senko 👍🏼

[@sweatyboi2443]

I really love these bait comparison videos... At first I thought it was kinda of dumb but I learned how informative they are and how much they can help.

[@45acponly]

I prefer the green pumpkin/pearl/chartreuse stick-o. I love them and they can take a serious beating around structure. I have 3 50 packs in my center console of my truck. Yamamoto is good but I'll choose bps over the senko any day

[@space.cowboy69]

they're literally the same i catch the same amount of bass on both i stopped buying senkos because theyre so damn expensive

[@johnmexican8769]

Ron A. Same

[@miamiballin305]

That and they don’t last at all. Love the BPS 6 inch stick worms.

[@McClovinFishing]

Hey Rob, I found out that if you boil the BPS stick-o or any other soft plastic for 25 seconds, it will soften it up the plastic and have an amazing action that equals the senko. You should give this a try.

[@Klintong79]

Pretty close! BPS would get the nod due to price.

[@bryandevereaux4445]

Basically BPS stick-o for weekend junk fishing, Senko for Tournaments

[@nemocheerio]

Thanks for the wide angle on the rod view. Really helps out. I'll have to try out those BassPro ones next time I get to one.

[@GoldenStateBass]

Gary Yamamoto is hands down the best. But Yamamoto senkos are $8 for 10 baits vs. $ 10 for 50 bps senkos. so 80 cents per GY senkos vs. 20 cents per bps senko..... quite a difference

[@amazingguy69]

i get yamamotos for 3$

[@GoldenStateBass]

+daniel leroy where at?

[@chillzlofi9953]

wallmart had GY senkos in all colors in the dolor bin. i loaded up on them

[@drippenrain23]

yeah wal mark is really cheap for GY, i got a pack of 10 for 3$

[@GoldenStateBass]

no way! my walmart is $8

[@666Redfish]

The senko still looks better, but my favorite stickbait is still the Zman ZinkerZ. They wobble the way their supposed to even with an added nail after they start floating. My next favorite is going to be the Berkley Havoc flat dawg. It has a great wobble.

[@pabassfisherman]

Our stiko's are fantastic soft stick worms. Can't beat the price for what you get out of a pack. Plus they come in a great selection of sizes and colors. Thanks for the comparison! Fish on!!

[@ericriley7380]

Agree 100% with all your opinions in the video. For me, even in a tournament, i feel that both baits would do equally well wacky rigged when skipped under docks and overhangs. I dont think on that type of bait the bass will care...just my 2 cents! Enjoy all the videos Rob. These are the best out there! Keep up the great work.

[@jonlakota2541]

If your going to compare there action I would go with a senko. But price wise senkos are 7 bucks for a 8 pack. And the stickos are 10 bucks for a 50 pack. Personaly I would go with the stickos if I'm fun fishing and senko for tournament fishing.

[@matthewcaudill3317]

thats what id say

[@jonlakota2541]

+fishing down in the bluegrass Yeah you should check out my fishing channel

[@moraless_h1367]

Well said !!

[@jonlakota2541]

+Heriberto Morales thanks

[@Chubick]

I'm impressed I actually bought a bag the other day after your video but I haven't used them yet but the senkos definitely take the cake over all

[@leoramirez4024]

thanks for the awesome comparison I had asked a Bass pro shop Senior member If those sticko baits wobbled like senkos and he had no idea

[@mr.fatbasstard648]

One thing we're missing in our collation of stick bait comparisons is a durability test! Don't get me wrong I fish with senkos but I will rarely throw them 'weedless rigged' into hydrilla, milfoil or for that matter any other type of contact situation. They're just not very durable and therefore limited! at the rate some of the other stick bait manufacturers are going I just don't see Senko as a top-of-the-line bait for very much longer at its current price rate!

[@cityneckangler9766]

Plz do a video of the senko vs. the strike king perfect plastics ocho It's a killer bait

[@nathanaellingerfelt6314]

Also try the Zman ZinkerZ

[@paulpanciarello7554]

I always stock both in my tackle. I love Senko but I think the stick-o is a very good substitute. I think the senko is softer like you pointed out. I think because of that the stick-o tends to be a Lil more durable.

[@KBBOUTDOORS]

just wondering about whats better thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@xDx0xUxGx]

Ok, having never used a stick bait, I don't know what works and what doesn't. I have to say though, I like the action of the fall on the wacky rig, but the action of the pop on the texas rig. As far as which company, the Senko has more wiggle on the fall, but they seem the same on the pop regardless of which way they are rigged.

[@RhinoVenturesOutdoors]

Rob, I think the Senkos have a slightly better wobble on the fall, but not enough for me to justify dropping .80 per vs. .25 or so for BPS. Close enough for me. But then again, I haven't caught a 10 pounder lately.

[@Mudbud-ex9ps]

awesome video learn a lot from this been using senkos and having a lot of luck lately

[@mikeysfishingfuntime5070]

the berkley havoc flat dawg has more salt then any stick bait I've bought before. 2.99$ , when texas rigged, it has a very unique action due to the curved tail . Give them a try

[@troystuart8870]

i like the FLAT DAWGS too. Thats what i throw when everyone and their mother is throwing a senko at my local over pressured body of water. Ive done the best with the milky pumpkin seed color but if i remember correctly Mike Iaconelli designed them.

[@mikeysfishingfuntime5070]

Yep, I'll have to try out the pumpkinseed color, I do well on the white silver flake

[@Big_willf]

try it

[@korynoll4372]

the juice worm is my favorite by havoc

[@mlinder2000]

I'll be going with Stik-Os for awhile. Have been using Dingers and catching fish would rather get more for my money though. Thanks. Good video

[@davenewman2558]

Very close in action, thanks man for the videos. Have you fished power plant lakes?

[@deputyprepper4931]

lunker's, yet another great video. I am learning so much from your videos. I will be ready to come fishing with you.

[@tannertaylor1437]

Honestly they are really close on performance. From my experience, the Stik-o doesn't rip as bad. Plus, they are a hell of a lot cheaper. If I can't find the Stik-o's somewhere, I'd go with the senko. But if there's Stik-o's available, that's my choice. Great video. I really enjoy the underwater footage. Keep it up!

[@jasoneric5969]

great video lunkerstv. I gotta say bass pro stick o looks like the toughest competition for the senko so far in my opinion big fan of the videos keep on keeping on

[@noell3634]

I think I would try out the bass pro brand, but either way we know the senkos are legit. These comparisons videos are very informative, keep up the awesome work Rob!

[@ntwtransam]

Great job with these vids and the channel as a whole! I still will go with the senko but I don't burn through a ton of baits either and have no problem springing for the premium stuff. I would like to see the Ocho as well

[@timaustin9522]

The differences are so minor, I don't think bass will notice. And I've never seen a bass nibble on one side of a stick bait. If salt is dissolving into the water around the bait, bass will pick up on it. Bigger factors would be current and temperature. Great vid! Learned a bunch and buying will be affected.

[@mitchellfloyd8247]

what would be a better rod to buy the Lew's Tournament Performance TP1 Speed Stick bait Casting Rod or Cabela's Tournament ZX Bass bait Casting Rod

[@vithvijey4997]

All I can say is that the Bass Pro Stik-O are probably the best thing to use to catch bass!! You get a lot more bait compared to the Senko's and its a lot cheaper too. Do you self a favour try them out, you can't go wrong and I recommend any of the pumpkin colours. I Caught 4 bass on my fishing trip.

[@truthparanormal3741]

I got the stik-o's myself and I have to say, they are for real and a very good senko like bait. I don't mind blowing through them either because they are super cheap!

[@bryanrackley333]

Great job on this comparison.. Is there anyway you can compare the kvd stick bait to the senko?? I just bought a pack and would like to see if they hold up to the original.. Thanks.

[@mindyglasscock6544]

i was suprised by the bass pro stick o. very very close to Senko. im gonna try them

[@lzyfisherman3136]

I'm sure someone has mentioned these; Kalin's Sizmic Wac-O-Worm, from Unclejosh. I picked up a bag on sale at Cabelas and they had a decent wiggle and the salt looked to be heavy but I was not biting into it they are garlic infused (you've been warned). I had good luck on them in the color I grabbed because I went to a clear baby blue lake and need something lighter. Also one of the Cabelas senko's has an "O" ring in it for wacky rigging. I grabbed the 4" in them cause they was on sale and in a baby bass color, got some on them too at the same lake, but they was a bit stiff feeling.

[@gulfsidefishing9095]

I honestly don't doubt that the senkos are probably better quality, but the bright red color contrasts against the pool much better and makes it look like it has more action than the BPS Stick-O does. Both are good baits, probably going to lean towards the stick-o's or my Strike-King Shimmy Sticks based on the price.

[@19bigorange]

I try to keep my stick baits, trick worms in a hot location, seems to make them a lil bit softer and have more action...

[@smallfishingboatsdotorg1177]

I tried senkos for the first time yesterday and was surprised I had to change the bait after every single fish (under 2 lbs). I normally use yum dingers but after seeing all the videos I think I might have to go with bps stick-o's just for the price alone. They all seem to catch fish just fine.

[@connorbruce7111]

great video!! the bass pro senko actually surprised me and had a good little wobble!

[@handsonfishing7631]

just want to give u another idea for the comparison against the Senko. I . was going through my stick baits the other day and found some strike king zero, and it had for salt than any other bait I have... keep up the great work

[@merriklofquist7006]

I've honestly have used them both and they are amazing but I would use the BPS because of it price. They both wobble and they both have slat infused. Thank you for the video.

[@gabriellord7556]

I have used the bass-pro stik o and I personally love it, but nothing beats yamamoto!

[@timb8970]

great videos. any chance of doing a split screen when comparing baits?

[@reellifebassfishingalexrey1330]

Im a BIGGGG gary yamamoto senko fan!!, but I just found out about the BASS PRO SHOPS STICK-O-WORM and omg!!! these guys are LITERALLY JUST AS GREAT!! plus a pack costs ONLY like $5.75 for a pack of 16worms compared to garys pack of worms which cost about $8 each and only contain 10worms, so I just bought 4packs for about $24.00, CANT BEAT THAT LOL

[@brooksnelson3821]

Please do BioSpawn Exostick vs Senko, it doesn't look like a Senko but it's Biospawns stick bait that is currently on the market

[@jacksonswint6206]

I knew u used powell's and I herd that the Powell cranking rods are amazing but I'm not urge if I want one and wanted to know what makes them stand out from other cranking rods?

[@sotaboy8040]

I had some size same color tied on to 2 rods to compare what the fish liked vs what my eye liked and the stik-o was as good or better at hooking.

[@KZ-xb8fi]

They are both really close in comparison, especially whacky rigged, whick is mostly what i use this baits for.. so for me i guess I'll be buying a lot of the bass pro ones because you can buy in bulk and save alot of money.. thanks for the video.

[@csquaredfishing-]

Hey Robert! Great comparison. What is your favorite setup (rod/reel/line) for fishing a weightless texas rigged senko? Thanks!

[@keenang474]

Bank anglers like myself I'd go with the bps especially since they are on sale right now. I got 150 of them for pretty much the same price as 30 senkos. But whenever I get the chance to go on a boat and fish actual lakes I'd throw the senkos because of options in color etc.

[@grantmaresh4628]

Went to Academy to buy some Senkos and dye but found a pack of Yum Dingers that were essentially pre-dyed and bout those instead. Would the pre dyed work better than if I dyed them myself?

[@metaloutlander]

I was a huge fan of the Senko until used the Savage Gear Armor Tube Worm, you can catch like 10 fish on one bait. The nylon mesh through makes it last all day. Maybe do a video on that one, I'd like to know your thoughts.

[@luisfernandez9278]

You should do Senko vs. Gambler Ace. I've found a lot of success using the Ace after switching from the Stik-O.

[@kirkclugston6891]

They are very similar. Of the baits you have compared the Stick-Os are for sure the winner as the closest to the yamamoto's. For the price you pay for BPS Stick-Os they are the winner for me.

[@Lando_TX]

If it's very important to have the stick bait fall on a slack line, how do you know if a bass takes the bait on the first decent....you don't have any tension to feel the take. #i'mlearning

[@marylandfishin]

Matt Landon if its calm, youll see your line thud when it hits the ground, or if it gets a hit youll see that and it start running and if its windy you just reel in and feel the bite after it takes it and set hook

[@Az2FL]

The bass pro stick is pretty similar in action surprisingly. Ill be picking up some of those!

[@spencerk388]

I just started taking fishing more serious recently and. quite frankly I am inexperienced. Is the wobbling a good/bad thing?

[@TerrenceHowellJr]

@lunkerstv, What about the savage gear armor tube worms? Have you tried those? They're supposed to be "reinforced."

[@frankbarone2029]

they both look good to me. if you're on a budget, I think the Stik-o's will do just fine thanks.

[@mitchelllimp4654]

Try the savage gear armor tube worm imo it has comparable wobble to the senko

[@jtrujillo715]

for the price and quality I gotta go with BPS. I was just there a couple days ago; compared the 2 and went with BPS for worms and lizards. you should make a video on comparing lizards

[@brandondresdnef9858]

what reel should I use bate caster or just a spin cast .the thing is I can't afford to get a good rod and am only 13 years old

[@gabelloyd7034]

Senkos for life they work so well

[@brocparker8441]

Rob, what hook set up is that for your wacky rig? Also what set up are you using for your Brush Hog? weight wise?

[@tonyperkins203]

I like the action on the BPS stick. It has better action than the yum dinger for sure. The senko is the best on the market, but to be honest, I kill them on any of these stick baits at my local lake. I haven't noticed a difference between any of these baits in terms of numbers of fish caught.

[@austinseibert9154]

Stik-O looks the best besides the senko itself. Thanks for the vid!!

[@mattwolder9148]

Next video you should do a comparison of the KVD perfect plastic stick bait and the Senko. Thanks.

[@dedengolivas1494]

So, I was just at a lake (bank fishing) and I used a senko and didnt catch anything. Nada. But thats not it, even other days I just loose them but I dont catch any fish. Any mistakes that people make that I could be doing. Any help would be appreciated

[@dansingletary7891]

I still prefer the Senko but next time I am at BassPro will pick up some Stick-O's for backup.

[@hunterchevaillier9170]

excellent fall for the stick o

[@wayneemerson8318]

the senkos really have a a little more wabble but i think they both look great! have you tried or looked at any of the havoc products ive had a lot of luck latly with those id like to see what you think of those

[@grandwonder5858]

Both lures look fantastic, but the Senko still has a little more wiggles and action. But the Bass Pro worm isn't bad at all!

[@pnwoutdoors8680]

I think they both look pretty good! if a bass is wanting it then I think he will go for any one of those personally I think color choice might be more important.

[@faustinodelossantos7156]

How many bass can u catch on the stick o before you have to change it out. I caught a dink bass on a senko and it nearly ripped it in half. I was fishing it Texas rigged

[@RascoBassin]

Good video I think this has been the best contender against the senko. They both looked great I thought. Thanks for the video good job 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@DOWN200TOWN]

Try the strike king shim e stick i use them seem to wobble really good catch a lot of bass with them

[@danemorris5828]

can you do one with the bio spawn exotstick?

[@D.I.Aoutdoors1]

Wacky rig the sinko, that sinko never fails and the shaking it does is money.. thanks for the videos it's helping me learn more

[@wild5810]

Stik-O I think surprisingly ....I love Yamamoto but dang for that price I am almost convinced to buy those!

[@whitechin99]

If you factor in durability I would say the Stik-O is the best buy. Personally prefer Berkley Flat Dawgs for wacky rigging myself

[@fishing_with_hutch5965]

Can you do a comparison vid on your senko's vs. the Kvd Ocho's??

[@fishing_with_hutch5965]

@lunkersTV

[@ThirdStreet.]

I'd love to see that too.

[@chillzlofi9953]

Same that would be cool

[@blackbassbrawlers3849]

I think the Stick-o actually had a decent wobble as compared to the other non Senko baits. I would have to agree with a lot of the people on here where I would say I'm going to throw the Senko in a tournament and the stick-o in an everyday situation. I bought I few packs of the big bites before your underwater of them and I just don't seem to catch fish on them. I can literally dissect an area with the big bite not get a bite and throw a Senko in first cast and catch a fish. I think that says a lot in my opinion. Spend the extra money and always have a couple of bags of Senko's in your soft plastic arsenal!

[@matthewmazereeuw7575]

I prefer the senko however, due to the price of senko's compared to Stik-o's, you just cant go wrong. I do find that when I rig o'rings on my senko's they tend to split much quicker than a stik-o, likely due to the softness of the plastic, anyways both are awesome stick baits that just catch fish.

[@j_pasty_w1823]

I think they both looked pretty good. I'd go BPS cause a pack of 50 right now is a dollar more than a package of Senkos

[@136leather3]

I like them both so its a very tough choice. All the other videos it was a clear cut winner this one not so much unless you go by pricing

[@TrapperJosh]

What rod/ reel setup are you using? Great video, thumbs up

[@superlamejames4242]

I'm a noob... Haven't used Stik-O yet, but am using Senkos because of your successes with them in previous vids.

[@tylerbetz3221]

Both looked the same to me, buying some BPS now!

[@robjones7410]

Hands down...Senko anytime ..anywhere. Seen alot more action in the Senko than I did on the BP

[@Jcarlo1320]

Weightless Texas rigged looked great on the BPS stick bait tbh... Thinking of which lasts longer

[@TheJaspa85]

YOU SHOULD GET SOMEONE TO DROP A COUPLE DIFFERENT WORMS FROM DIFFERENT BRANDS AND YOU TRY AND GUESS WHICH ONE IS A SEINKO AND NOT? that would be a great video! you might be suprised!!
