Yamamoto Slim And Thin Senko

Featured Replies

Hey guys. Is the 4" slim Senko really any smaller than a standard 4" Senko? As for the 5" thin Senko, how does it compare in size to say a Jackall Flick Shake worm? Is it any bulkier or heavier? Thx

Where can you pick up the flick shake worms, are they instore at sport retailers?

From my experience, the differences are very minute. Would a fish have bit the slim and not a 4" regular? I hope not... On the other hand, if one of those models were on sale, I'd definitely jump on it.

I don't have any experience with the 5" thin senko though. Good luck

Copy that. Think I'll pick up a pack of the thin Senkos on my next order.

I have a bag...or had, not sure actually, of the

thin Senkos. My reaction...Meh. I didn't really

do well with them, although, they were in a color

I don't normally fish.

 

I think the thing for me is that they are more 

limited in colors than the regular versions.

Dont mess with perfection. I will fish any worm wacky style so long as it is a 5" GYCB in watermelon creme.

They work but do not shimmy as well as the regular senko for me. I do like the slim senko on a flick shake head as a alternative to the Jackall worm.

I have had 2 days this past summer where the fish wouldn't touch a regular 4" Senko but destroyed a 4" slim Senko, go figure.

Hey man. So does the slim Senko have a little more weight to it than your typical finesse worm of the same length? That's kinda what I'm trying to figure out here. Thx

Yes, the slim Senko is heavier than most finesse worms of the same size.

The 6.0 lb. smallmouth in my signature pic ate a wacky rigged 4" Slim Senko, color #297.

jackel flick shake is pretty much the same thing as a thin senko. i personally like the thin senko better for price and colors

I have quite a few bags of the 4" slim senko I bought on sale, they're noticeably thinner than a 4" senko. 

A friend of mine absolutely loves the 5" slim senkos on a texas rig and 1/8 sinker and they're his go to weenie worm. They are heavy and sink, like a normal senko. I fished behind him with a zman 4" finesse worm and caught similar amounts and that worm is buoyant. Not sure what that tells you, but I know my worm lasted all day while he went through packets of senkos LOL

That's what I wanted to hear. I'm looking for a little heavier alternative to finesse worms to switch things up time to time.
