Ok what's the difference between Gary Yamamoto Baits & Kinami Baits?

None.  The  Kinami Baits are made by his son.

Exactly. I use Kinami Palm Trees (A.K.A. GYCB Fat Ika). My biggest problem with Kinami baits is you get less in a package but you still pay the GYCB price.

Ex. Kinami Palm Trees come in packs of 5 and cost $4.49. That is $.90 per bait. GYCB Fat Ikas come in packs of 10 and cost $7.48. That is $.75 per bait. The Palm trees are actually more expensive per bait. But Palm Trees are the only thing I can find locally...and I am not really into paying shipping for my baits...not when I have a BPS 15 mins away.

Colors

Same plastic, same molds.  Kinami has a few different colors that GYCB does not have.

Difference is you can buy Kinami baits at Wal-Mart.

Same baits in every way.

I know it doesn't seem possible when you look at the size of the GYCB color chart,but yes, Kinami's do have different, and some very excellent colors.

Around by me, it's a toss up whether the stores will carry the Kinami's or the GYCB's.

Our local Wal/Mart carries both

I was just wondering why Yamamoto out sales Kinami if they are in fact the same bait.

Or is Dad holding out on the son?  

It's a marketing thing.  Same baits, same greedy prices.

Uh oh, I heard the bait monkey growl at you.
