Thanks. I just want to get better. With me personally, the more I know and understand, the more confident I am about the choices I make. Thus, maybe I will catch more fish than if I just wing it and guess things.

I hope we have done that even if we did get off topic

It is all good. It is actually good to see other people's perspective.

Interesting to note the weights of the plastics that JF posted. For example the 6" stickbaits...

Senko: 0.560

BPS Sticko: 0.385

Yum Dinger: 0.475

Note: they all the same basic shape, so the difference in weight is largely caused by increased density (salt content?). Since fall rate is going to be proportional to density (for objects having similiar profiles) it follows that in terms of fall rate: Senko > Dinger > Sticko. This result does coorelate with my experience.

actually, the 6-inch BPS stik-o and senkos are not similar. whereas the 6-inch senko is both longer and thicker than the 5-inch senko, the 6-inch stik-o is exactly the same diameter as the 5-incher, only longer.
