Give yourself some credit, you did throw a real senko. It's just that your senko didn't come of a rack of overpriced worms!!!! Congrats

I'd use a hand pour anyday of the week over any other worm. The worms feel more lifelike and the color styles schemes are endless. Most people probably don't even know that hand poured worms exist, because most people buy a familiar name as opposed to buying the product. The reason that there are commercials on tv are because they work, and the little guy can't afford that!

I'll try to break down a hand poured Senko's price for you. Let's assume you bought a 5 gallon bucket of plastol for $125 shipped ($25/Gallon). You also bought a gallon of Salt for $4, and a gallon of softener for $30. Let's also say you use the normal senko formula of 4 oz. plastic - 2 oz. Salt - 1 oz Softener. You can roughly make a little over 400 senkos per gallon of plastic. So we'll say you only used one gallon of your original 5 gallon bucket in this scenerio. Gallon of Plastic - $25 1/2 Gallon of Salt - $2 1 Quart of Softener - $7.50 we'll say 4 oz. of Colorant - $6 and we'll guess 4 oz. of Glitter - $6 That's a total of $46.50. So we'll divide $46.50 by the 400 sticks that you made, which equals a total of $.12 per stick! You costs greatly go down based on how much material you buy, especially plastol. Most of the time a gallon of plastol alone costs $40, plus shipping. But you can buy a 5 gallon bucket of plastic for $100, plus usually $25 shipping. So that's $40 a gallon vs. $25 a gallon, which is a huge difference really.
