You bet they'll work. While I personally find GYCB Senkos (the ones that started the craze) to be best, I have and use BPS Stik-O

They definitely work.  I like the GYCB but i have since moved to the stankxbaitco sitck baits.  They are more durable than the GYCB and have more action than the YUM Dinger so to me it is a great balance between the two and the price is way better.  It also doesn't hurt that they do customer colors and plastic densities for a nominal additional fee.

They work great. Wacky rigged, T-Rigged or used as a jig trailer, etc. They are one of the most versatile baits on the market.

 

The BPS stik-o's are pretty good. They don't have the delicate action of the GY's, but they are more durable and last longer in my experience. I've caught lots of fish on the BPS ones. The 4" size are killer for smallmouth. 

They are definitely my go to bait.  They always seem to produce for me. While the GYCB are great, they dont tend to hold up long enough for me.  My favorite stick baits are the A lluring B aits slaty tricksticks  great action and can get 25 for around $7.  And they hold up great!

I agree with everybody else. First bait I ever caught a bass on.

This is a great bait. Use them all the time.

My first choice is the 5" GYCB Senko, fished wacky with an o-ring - they usually last through several fish.  For T-rigged or wacky on a light jig (usually weedless), I will use a Yum Dinger.

The stick o is my go to stick bait. They are much more durable than the original but still have good action. Can't beat them for the price, allows you experiment with them a little more. Lately I've been having a lot of luck fishing 2/3 of one of the 5 3/8" versions as a jig trailer.

I don't fish stick baits that often but whenever I do, I almost always catch fish.  I usually T-rig them weightless but there are several other ways you can fish them.  Theres a ton of info about them in various other posts.  Ive actually thought of buying that same kit you mentioned just because of what a bargin that price it.  18.99 for 104 pcs?  You can't beat that with a stick!  The only thing stopping me is like I said, I don't fish them much.

As much as I fish plastics I do not fish these too much. I like to wacky rig Zoom Centipedes, and usually I am tossing a shaky head with some style of trick worm. 

 

I can not bring myself to pay that much for a bag of baits, but I might just bite the bullet and buy one pack of watermelon this season, just to check the hype. I have used Big Bite Baits senko style, and seems to work well, but I always here about the GY being the best.

Worth giving them a shot at least...i think they run deals where you buy 6 you get a bag free or something like that too.

Excellent baits.

I have fished them all, GYBC are still the best. Why , I don't know.

Rage Cut'R Worm! Killlllaaa! You can use it in a number of ways, weightless, texas rigged, keel weighted, swim jig trailer, etc.

  • Super User

I use a 1/8 ounce brass weight with a clicker on a carolina rig.

I notice the BPS Stik O Worms last longer then senko' s they don't break so easy.

 

Senko....color...orange red flake not sure but never can find it. 5"

Stick o worm. Amber red flake again can't find this color. 4" 5" 6"

Gambler electric blue 5"

Stick o worm super size 7 1/4" red shad,  make sure you have a big hook.

 

I also use the gambler worms in electric blue too.

 

The Amber or Orange flake is one hot color for me anyhoo.

 

I use a snap swivel on the hook end of the carolina rig. I keep my plastiss prehooked so no need to keep on tying when switching baits.

Stick worms have become one of the hottest techniques in fishing quite simply because they work!
