Sanshouo ? Anybody tried these yet ?!?  Also the zako swimbait ?? Thoughts?

Haven't seen them in stores yet but the zako looks like it'll have the same action as a Lake Fork Live Magic Shad.  Will definitely check them out once they start showing up in the retail stores.

Nobody has fished these huh... guess I'll have to get some and report back to yal then. 

I don't believe the Zako is a swimbait so much as it is a trailer. Doesn't seem like it would have much action as a stand alone.

The other is kind of a beaver of sorts. I'm sure it'll work, and I'm sure it will be fragile. Kind of depends on if the productivity you get with the added action of a soft bait is worth the money to the buyer. 

I bought a few packs of the Zako at BF from TW and I will be using them as trailers, not a stand alone bait.  They are pricey (as with most GYCB) but cheaper than the Lake Forks I've been using.  So we shall see.  I also use plain old flukes as trailers for my chatterbaits and do just fine with them.  I'm interested in seeing how they preform (action wise) on a swimjig.  

The beaver I will not give a chance on, I LOVE the Flappin Hogs, but they are again, just way to pricey for me.  I will always have a pack or two with me as they are a confidence bait, but there are other, cheaper, options that work as well.

I actually just ordered some Zakos and like others here I plan on using them as trailers for bladed jigs and spinnerbaits. I'm hoping that profile mixed with the action from the tail will produce, it looks like a good bait from what I've seen.

Only yamamotos I get is the 5" senko

Threw one one on the back of a bladed jig and threw it into the pool great action, haven't got to use it out on the water yet
