Thank you for the time stamps

Thank you Bobby for making this video. Visual demonstration is the proof of the pudding. And thanks for explaining the classic wobble that the G Yamamoto Senko has and the comparable stick baits.

[@JiminyCricket99]

This is the most comprehensive senko comparison video there is. I know that this video is going to blow up. I’ve went through forum posts, saw other YT videos, and researched high and low. This is the best resource out there because you can see the action for yourself.

[@DoomsdayTackle]

Nice Video!! The Roku was actually designed for the Nekko Rig but works just as well on a Wacky and Texas Rig.

[@ryanc1036]

Bobby: that’s more action than the Senko! FBI: *kicks down door*

[@parmesean7584]

Ryan c your profile pic is a tank

[@LowBudgetBassin]

You must fish mostly clear water, I haven't had any luck with a wacky rig in this tannic water here in Florida. If I did find some clear water I would use either the Roku or Exostick. Those Yum dingers look close enough to a senko for my budget lol. I'm sure they'll all work texas rigged but where I fish the bottom is thick mud so I have the best luck with the Strike King 3x Ultra Finesse worms (because they float great)on a shakey head or swingin rugby jig. Thanks for sharing, great video👍🎣

[@adams9604]

Appreciate this important video. Can't think of anyone who has compared 20 stick baits. Thanks.

[@morganmcconnell811]

You should do a fishing vlog

[@viper102691]

Vlogs in different lakes around the country would be dope.

[@alduro6505]

Both the Zman and the first Strike King had great action as you pulled them up, making me think they would be hit on the retrieve rather than the fall as some are hit.

[@timogriffiths14]

I have caught a lot on those strike king stick baits from Walmart, they smack up north Wisconsin

[@tonino9279]

Super cool informative video! 😁 this really helps

[@nathanielwhitehead6475]

I love missile Baits 48 and the havoc flat dawg you tested. I would love to see you take these out and fish with them as well as seeing what creature baits you prefer and see their actions.

[@lucasrudd7966]

The ZinkrZ and Zero need to be tuned by finding the balance point, also not stretching helps and using nails helps

[@jedmeadows6226]

Very informative. I'll definitely test some of the about v. Senkos. Thank you.

[@BRandomFishing]

Best senko comparison i've seen so far. Great video and new subscriber here. On the elaztec stick bait you have to fish them new, once you stretch them like that and release the salt they lose action. One thing you can do with the elaztec one is stretch the crap out of it and then it will float and you can fish it topwater.

[@Allyourbase1990]

I always get hits on Texas rig with a Yamasenko, and most times with a drop shot . I’ve never tried a whacky rig , I’m going to try tomorrow morning

[@raiderbass]

Great vid! 👍👍 one bait you missed was the - power team sick stick.

[@mathiasalbornoz9275]

The zoom worms don’t have all that much action but the fluke on the back is what does the trick

[@seanlake6952]

If I tryed everything mostly in my tackle box , well my next go to bait is the Ikvd coffee scent black an blue flake an they are money where I go fishing

[@galaxywolfie6136]

I want to go fishing more but I’ve only gone like once or twice, but I still watched this entire video. If anyone else from Britain knows good places to fish I might be able to go fishing more btw 😁🐟

[@jonorech]

Hi Bobby, Just discovered you, 2nd comment on 2nd video today. I appreciate your method of presentation. You do a great job of "observing" and withholding judgement. You have hit all the stickbait brands that I use. Namely, Bass Pro and Yum Dinger mostly. It's interesting that you primarily wacky rig, and don't texas rig much. I am the opposite, and I want to get better at wacky. Lakes I fish...much shallower and weedier than what I gather you fish. Related, that "pocket" inside the head of some stick baits, could make it more weedless, as you suggest, but I also think it improves hookups since less plastic needs to be penetrated before driving home. Also, since some stick baits have a subtle curve to them, the slot ensures you are rigging bait along the correct plane. Anyway, I have subscribed to your channel and will be watching more. Not much fishing going un in upper midwest until spring walleye bite!

[@ronbutlin8153]

That general is where it's at.. great action and the bass choke them due to the scent. The biospawn and keitech are definitely in the running, never fished em tho. Love the video btw!

[@MGFishin]

I use the trick stick for every stick bait application. I love it.

[@f3600]

Tried the Yum and other brand but never had big bite like on the OG yamamoto. good video !

[@ComeOnPelican91]

Missile 48 lake fork ring fry cabin creek oval worm and for kicks roboworm straight tail 6" and the fat 6"

[@ec9697]

Thanks! Just ordered 10 packs of biospawn

[@basswhisperer4803]

My goto stickbait is the BPS StickO. I catch bass with them all the time, and you get a bag of 16. Love'em

[@jeremyvoegeli5644]

Bass Whisperer , me to for some reason every now and then bubble gum color works great around Illinois. I’m just getting tired of the price and how many you get with the Gary Yamatos

[@BackwardsNelsons]

Great stuff... was very excited when I found this like FINALLY someone did the way I would have! Thank you! 1. Grande bass rattle snake or air tail. 2. Lake fork ring Frye, or similar. 3. Chompers baits makes those berkley smell amazing lol. Give those a whiff, I always chase my kids around the house with a fresh bag of chompers 😂😂😂

[@Toph101]

The reason why senkos are "name brand" is that they are infused with the most salt than any other stick bait on the market and still have great action

[@petr8068]

Best stick-baits review on net. Thanks.

[@masonscott5029]

I just discovered your channel and it’s one of my favorite channel

[@ZethKinnettFishing]

Saddest moment of your video: Watching the Keitech Salty Core Stick. I like it. One of my favorites. There is a 5.5" version. Too bad its no longer made. I would do nearly anything to get my hands on a few hundred 5.5" in GP.

[@ASPopovic]

5.5” version of Salty Core Stick has much better action than 4.5” version (almost the same or even better then Senko 5”) and that version needed to be tested with other in this video. The same is with 4” Senko compared to 5” version of Senko. That’s why I stopped using the 4” Senko and buy and use only 5”. I am also very sorry that Salty Core Stick 5.5” is no longer produced.

[@shlemekian]

Found you via your drop shot bait comparison video as I'm somehow new to drop shot fishing, but you make some very thorough comparisons in both videos! I hope you make something new soon man! Cheers

[@Schnozwangler]

Awesome video, showing the actual test and not just give opinions, thx for sharing the results 👍👍 and like you said some of these would work better Texas rigged.

[@grrriff8839]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing...

[@desynchonosisdragon9108]

Thanks for doing so many baits! Great job and thank you..

[@tshaw150]

Great job. Very helpful. Thanks

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Senko..alllll day.twice on Sunday .catch more fish with a bag of senkos then all the others combined

[@ryangambrell5753]

I love the coffee scented KVD senkos, they are my go to, Ive caught countless fish on them

[@drakewieczorek7960]

My two favorite stick baits are the yum dinger and the wave worm tiki stick

[@TiffanyWong5176]

I'm so happy you became a vlogger bobby

[@theredbaron4446]

This vid was very educational!! Thanks Bobby 👍

[@morganmcconnell811]

I'm so glad you have a KZbin channel and you fish and hunt

[@morganmcconnell811]

No he hunts

[@morganmcconnell811]

Go to his Instagram there is several photos of him hunting

[@MicaeArchangel]

Can you do the googan baits lunker log?

[@bobgill4069]

Good video. I liked how you tried and put a good spin on all the lures, even though some were utter garbage LOL. Sorry, but they were, just nice to see you putting a positive spin on them. One thing you can do to make literally any of these stick worms fall with more action and that is to fish them on a weighted wacky hook. Just a little secret I'll through out there. Did you notice how they all got good action when you pulled them up?

[@MyGuitarArtistry]

Berkley Max Scent........Hands Down, Total Dominance. Look, Shimmy, and Scent!👍👍👍👍👍

[@skyiestosunsetrise2886]

Naw .the general man

[@AngelGarcia-pi2ys]

Omg I didn’t know you had a KZbin channel I love fishing videos keep them coming

[@jhsplaya]

You used the Big Bite large thick ones should of tried the big bite original they are exact as the Gary.

[@JacobRRR21]

powerbait maxscent my favorite !!!!

[@MrFishBlood]

I had an interesting experience with stickbaits last weekend. A buddy and I fished all day from a rowboat on a weed flat. He threw wacky Yamamoto Senkos and Yum Dingers all day... He ended up catching 8 bass, ranging from a couple little dinks to a pretty solid 3.5 pounder. I threw a wacky rigged Stik-O from Bass Pro, in a very similar color to what my buddy had been throwing (green pumpkin, he had black flake, I had black flake with blue glitter)... I caught absolutely nothing, I only got one tiny nibble, and that might have been a bluegill. I had never thrown the Stik-O before, and logic tells me it was a situational thing where they just preferred the Senkos and Dingers that day, but I've already lost confidence in them. I will give them another shot eventually, because I still have a ton of them. Hopefully, that'll be a day the fish will eat a few.

[@ctjoe1959]

How about testing the bass pro wacky stick worm. It’s suppose to have more action than their regular stick worm

[@pilgrimsprogress7092]

Exo Stick or Pocket Rocket looked the best to me. That being said, I usually fish the Dinger or BBB Wacky Stick (the name might be wrong, but not the one you tested)

[@elijahcastillo3186]

Any chance of having a subscriber meet up at one of the local SoCal lakes ? Would be so cool to get to meet you and maybe catch a fish or two.

[@grizzzly6055]

Hopefully this spring you do more videos!

[@thefishingchannel3192]

Keep up the good work great vid 🤘

[@bignick47331]

You should try the creme stick baits they are the cheapest and they slay bass

[@Davo2233]

When you lift if you shake your rod tip it starts flapping and it’s perpetual motion keeps shaking on the way back down

[@lifeofporter-gaming125]

I got the Riot Baits Baton out my MTB and I was hooked on wacky rig from using this bait, the only downside is there is really no scent, but the action is amazing

[@manifestgtr]

Oh no...that bait has plenty of hard, chemically, plastic smell to it. Believe me...I’ve been there haha That being said, I do like it. I took a 4 pounder off a log just a few weeks back on the baton

[@hunterlopez1508]

Creature bait testing you are awesome hope you are having a great day

[@NoBullReview]

Awesome vid!

[@scottreece2421]

You need do the same test with a weighted hook. Almost all of them will shimmy. They did on your lifts.

[@Daniel-he9db]

Nice vid

[@ianpitts6588]

Yooo I love ur vids

[@Davo2233]

Falling to the side only matters if you are target fishing or bed fishing. Fishing a bare ordinary bank you might catch a fish that is in front or behind ur cast

[@ctjoe1959]

Biz baits has a sassy stick getting great reviews might be worth comparing it also

[@yuvag.7247]

23:04 been there done that lmao

[@thebadomen1999]

Which would you recommend more between the ExoStick and General from Berkley?

[@pollo_find_me5429]

Bobby I met you at Best Buy !!!

[@ejfernandez886]

We give fish too much credit lol

[@predwards8941]

My body count with the dinger is staggering. But the Yamamoto Senko definitely has the best action

[@Thebankfisher]

I hate that share my secret but add the Lake Fork Lures hyper stick to the review

[@andrewwolf4963]

Lol You need to critique better. But the video was fire, very informative and I watched it all the way through twice. So thank you. Oh new Googan Baits worm, and the New 6th sense Clout which is very similar to an Exostick you should check out, but what I’m most interested in is Deep Creek Lures has multiple senkos one floats and one sinks you should test those

[@manifestgtr]

Man...it’s a shame those elaztech baits suck so badly. I actually really like that stuff...my toads and a couple of my fluke type baits are elaztech and those are absolutely killer. They basically float and (obviously) they’re stupid durable

[@salvestersalonesstepbro9790]

I remember u from that 1 channel

[@4rnrlife228]

Try googan baits ! They have 3 different worms that work great!

[@GettingFished]

the baits that are falling sideways could be caused by not hooking them in the true middle

[@danechandler876]

Hey bobby you think you could continue to do vlogs

[@clintperry799]

Man your giving away top secret classified information. 🙂

[@cjdavis1328]

I throw the big bites bait trick stick and it flat out catches fish

[@team.edge.hi5fan371]

I love you Bobby

[@fishingwithdad4855]

Make fishing vlogs and fish with subscrbers

[@greenandred1401]

Why no more videos

[@edwinwx260]

Didn't know ow Bobby from team edge was an avid fisherman 😃 even better

[@Jasonwensman]

Wacky rig the Xospawn....on drop shot!

[@ImVooDoo0]

Bobby can you take team edge fishing

[@tdubs2735]

When I found out you had a youtube channel, I freaked out

[@parmesean_]

Ik this us late but same

[@canadianangler6722]

Are you gonna get Googan baits

[@yaboithunder5608]

Please do a fishing vlog

[@RajK-zd6zs]

Wait Bobby fishes?

[@chuckndebris868]

Bobby the fish master Btw do you read comments?

[@macprince5667]

If it falls to the side, a small nail weight will make it fall flatter.

[@Fishing-gs9ku]

And you missed my favorite, the missile 48!

[@alexfounds2254]

Shame they discontinued the keitechs

[@kaisfishingandrcvideos3320]

President Bobby rules all hail Bobby

[@kestrelfishing3558]

You forgot the zoom zlinky

[@emilysaesee6859]

You should do a fishing vlog like if you agree

[@urmom-in3yg]

when i try fishing for the first time in a canoe i fail and fall off a canoe so no

[@damiankelly9902]

is this the guy from team edge.

[@Davo2233]

If in 20 ft u use a weighted hook

[@brianl7635]

Billions? Maybe millions
