lowe budget, i tottaly agree. i just recently baught a bag of assalt lures salt stix, and they are a little bulkier that senkos, cost bout 3.50 a bag, come with 10, and last twice as long. on my first cast with these babies i got a 2lb. largemouth, and i followed suitly catching 14 on the same worm, never had to replace it. gy makes money on price, reputation, and lack of durability. i think that walmarts edge worms work better anyway, and they are 20 for 2 bucks!!!! stop buying yamato, except for the kreature bait which is the best thing to come to bass fishing. ;D
