|
|
| Specifically GY senko the consistency of the rubber is perfect dosent break too easily and moves properly in water. I have never used a dinger but i will have to pick some up. Also with all plastic baits I just use a lighter and melt the edges where the break is and let it set for a few mins and then back in business. I have an entire bag of "educated" senkos and even some franken senkos that are made up of parts of other senkos. I love this bait and when the bite is hot I pretty much dont use anything else. |

| I stopped using senkos a while ago sick of catching rats all day, I'd rather target and catch big fish. They're a great bait for kids if you just want to catch a lot of fish. As far as making them last longer go to arbys and take some of their straws they slide right over a senko. Cut a little peice of the straw and put it in the center where you would put the hook in, to wacky rig it, it doesn't affect the action and will make them last far longer. |

Not sure why you think a senko is only for small bass. I've used the GY 7" on fish close to 10lbs., and they are a go to down south for some truly lunker fish. Don't really fish them much up here as I fish far more salt water than fresh, but they can certainly produce big fish. |

| they can catch a big fish here and there and you'll catch a s*** ton of rats on the way. I'd rather weed out the rats and target quality fish. I'm far more interested in quality of fish than quantity. |

| Ive used both and notice very little difference between them both senkos are a bit more durable dingers are cheaper so I would say its all about the 1 you feels get ya better fish ....i stick with diggers because of the price.....I like cheap.... |
