    Better price for Yamamoto senko?

    Is there a better way buy Yamamoto senko’s? Even if I buy the 100 bulk pack there is not a real price break? Ideas?

    Get the Zoom Zlinky cheaper and closest to the Senko that I have found.

    The two mentioned above are decent options. Not 1:1 comparison but close. I think the BPS has a faster sink rate than a Zlinky.

    I still prefer, and use, Yamamoto over anything else.

    YUM and Big Bite Baits are decent when in shallow water. The Big Bite Baits trick stick will float if you lightly put it on the surface.

    It seems, as usual, guys are quick to reply to your question without answering your question. Your question was a better way to buy Yamamoto Senkos. Constantly google that brand and check for sales. I too have found good sales at Midway USA and a very few other sources but you need to be patient and when there is a good sale, stock up.

    Several months back "CamoFire" had 100 packs on sale that came with a clear zippered pouch for $39.00 per 100. I have 1,000 yamamoto Senkos on hand. IMO, every other stick type bait is second as far as ability to load boat with fish..

    Good luck with your search

    Buying a gift card (10% discount) for yourself from TWS and then using it during a sale (10-20%) is the way to buy ALL your baits.

    Gift cards don't expire, they are emailed so easy to save and use.

    I didn't know you could buy 100 count bags of Yamamoto baits, is that possible with all their baits, how much cheaper is it and who sells them ?

    I just buy the 100 pack and not worry too much about the cost. I have found that with the confidence I have in the original senko they FAR out perform the competition. No 2nd place for me. Buy the best and catch fish!

    I do this quite a bit. I did check Midway and right now on sale for $74.99 plus there's a $25 off code you can get with $100 purchase...So naturally I had to make an order. Got 100 Senkos, 2 Dirty Jigs Swim Jigs, 3 bags of SK tubes, 3 bags of baby Z2's and 2 packs of tungsten dropshot weights for $109 shipped.

    when wacky riggin I prefer the BPS stik-'o, it's a little tougher and I don't like o-rings. When texas riggin, there's just no substitute for an original senko
