this question is towards people that only buy Gary Yamamoto senko's.

during my trip at BPS yesterday i was trying to decide which "senko" worm to buy. i was comparing price, colors and size. i came to this conclusion.

the "slurpies" brand looks exacltly the same as the GY senko but yet its a few dollars less. they have the same colors. (so i bought these)

i have not yet used these wacky rigged yet but am curious to see if these things actually work like everyone claims.

has anyone ever used the slurpies compared to the senko? same results or does it seriously make that much of a difference?

What you really need to do is to buy a package of several brands. Then wacky rig each and drop them into a swimming pool or clear water along the edge of a lake. You need to see the differences in the action of this type of worm as it descends down thru the water column. Then and only then can you make a logical decision as to which performs better.

By "perform", I am referring to action. Does the end of the worm shake and quiver on the way down? The original Senko was designed to do this quite effectively. Other worms of this type, can and are successful when fished wacky style. However, if the fisherman using them is honest, they usually get their strikes as they "jig" them off the bottom, manually creating this end shake.

I think you will find that very few of the knock-offs on the market today possess this characteristic shake on the decent. Some come very close, some are just as good. But it's up to you to decide. Just put the odds in your favor and your confidence will put fish in the boat for you.
