zoom, Havoc, and Missile baits all very good

As a lot of other people have said zoom, havoc, missile baits, BPS just to name a few that are cheap but work good for me. 

Bass bustin baits pumpkin lizards 2.99 a 10 pack at my local bait shop. Got my 2 personal bests on those.

Havoc/Netbait/bigbites

In my experience, Zoom flukes are durable and affordable. I caught three 2lb bass and still was able to use the same fluke. They were pounding the snot out of that fluke.

I am a big fan of Zoom baits due to their effectiveness and low price. I have recently started to use NetBaits as well. They are uber cheap and have tons of scent in them. I think I got several bags at Tackle Warehouse for $2.89. They come with 20 worms in each bag (for the finesse worms, anyway). Definitely good baits in both cases. 

The yum dingers are just like a senko but half the price

I loved Bitters baits. Heard they were going out of business though

^{The only time I use yama senkos are when I texas rig they just have that nice wiggle on the drop, for wacky big bit baits makes some pretty nice stick worms 25 pack for 5.99 and cant beat price on that.}

Zoom and Havoc, all you need!

 

I have a pack or two of senko's when the fishing is tough but i try to only use them when the bite is dead.

I figured there would be more love for Missile baits on this subject. At 3.99 a pack and good quanities per pack for high quality products they are hard to beat. I think everything in there line up is a fish catcher. .. I really like the havoc crawls as well.

I love Big Bite Baits for their Trick Sticks and Swimming Craws. They are cheap, and I even find them on sale quite often at Gander Mountain and other sporting goods stores.

For senko similair baits I use;

BPS STIK O

GAMBLER ACE

MISTER TWISTER COMIDA

These last longer than the senko's do. The senko is one senko per fish.

I use zoom flukes quite a bit, seldom use senkos or trailers for jigs.  I make these up for my jig fishing, used in both fresh and saltwater.

I like most Havoc baits. I think Zman plastics are a really good deal since they last so long. I bought a bunch of bags of chunks online,they look good and float, only downside was that they are a little big for my jigs, but that's okay. They also make a ton of shapes, Im going to try out a bunch more this season I think.

I'm super cheap myself and REALLY wanted to love Stick-O's and Cabela's.   I don't.  Maybe just a mental/confidence thing, but I will swear that I get better than twice the action on Senkos than on either of the two mentioned.  I hate that...but can't deny it.

You should give Yum Dingers or the Big Bite Bait version. A little more than the house brands but still cheaper than a YCB.

 

The brands I like are Yum, Big Bite, Berkley Havoc, and Missile Baits.

No love for Bearpaws Hippie Sticks?  Small make in New York.  Free shipping and they will do custom colors and densities at no extra charge.  They also come loaded with MegaStrike.  10 for $5.00  not shipping charge.  I will tell you that their website is VERY outdated, though.  They will get back to you if you leave them a message

I got a few bags of Havoc pit bosses at 1.50$ a bag... Generally I use rage craws... But when other plastics are slashed... I grab-em up. I often can get power bait for .99 cents a bag.. Just thrifty shop...

Fully agree....sucks.  I wanna love'm so bad....

 

I honestly think Nothing is as good as a real Senko...just other stuff that do other things...if that makes any sense!

 

Although I will be using them again this season do to buying the 104 piece Stik-O kit with 360 tackle box when it was on sale for less than two bags a senkos...I figured a ton guys here love'm worth a shot for that price...but hey maybe this year Ill love'm.

 

Just picked up a bunch of NetBaits stuff last night at bps...they look killer, i hope there good

 

I had no luck with all the Havoc stuff i picked up last season so....

 

I regularly use Yum Dingers an a Ton of Zoom stuff that I Love....horny toads, Ol' Monster, trick worms, Salty Super Fluke,  lizards...just few

Love Zoom 

I'm a big fan of Kalin's brand grubs. Last a long time for only $2 a bag, good colors, have caught me a lot of fish!

Zoom trick worms. Available at every Walmart I've been to. Watermelon red for clearer water and black for darker water. Weightless, T-rig, shaky head, wacky, carolina... Fish it any way and catch fish. Always recommend to beginners. 

Havoc's lineup is the way to go for good, inexpensive plastics. 

Anything with Zoom written on the package.

Although they aren't particularly cheap initially Zman plastics are extemely durable - some of their worms have caught 30 - 50 fish without changing baits. That's pretty cheap - and they are very effective.
