I was one of the lucky winners to receive free bait from Bite it, and those are good baits. First of all, I waited four months before writing this review on the trick stick. My review will consist of three parts, weight, durable, and action.

1. Weight: So far, I have rigged the trick stick with 2/0 wacky hook, 3/0, and 4/0 EWG offset hook. And it is definitely heavier than senko, it “tricked” me for the first few cast. Because the fall rates are different between Bite it and Senko, so it is sinking much faster. Few times, I though it was a bite but I can really feel the worm on the other end of my line. It took me few casts to get comfortable with the bait, since I always use Senko.

2. Durability: If I rig it wacky style with O-ring, one worm will last me 8-9 fish before replacement. With T-rig on EWG offset hook, it requires a new worm after 2-3 Bass. I found the durability is a bit better than Senko, that’s my personal opinion. I have lost a few fighting with bass, and few ripped off after a hard hook set. Overall, it is pretty durable.

3. Action: In many instances, I will cast to a position spot that holds bass. I will let it sit completely still, or twitch back to shore or boat. I can feel the nibble, but I have missed a few fish. The fish might not be in an aggressive mood, but I did catch a few. The worms are very slimy, and scent does stay around for a while. The worm is very soft and smooth, and I felt it is softer than Senko.

Overall, I would keep a few packs in my tackle box, since I use this style of worms often. I am very comfortable with the bait now, and it is a great choice. Personally, I prefer Bite it over senko at deeper water since it is heavier (sinks faster). One recommendation I can say about the trick tick, is that there is not an option for 4”. During a tough day, I prefer a smaller presentation.

P.S. this is my personal opinion. I have attached two pictures, and first one 3.06lb and second one is 2.6lb. They were both caught using Bite it trick stick, and I was pitching into weed pockets.

Regular price for senko is 7.99? Bite it trick stick goes for 2.75 for a package of 10.

Very nice report.

I recently picked up some of them on sale at TW, but really haven't tried them much, yet. Although I've pretty much only used Yamamoto Senko's, I think these will be a great alternative to them.
