Summer 2024
complete without a Yamamoto Senko. Yes, there are many stick baits, but when we look back the origin, we have to look at the Gary Yamamoto design, as it is often called the Greatest Lure Of All Time. The Senko came to be with the inspo of the Bic pen in the early ‘90s. Since then, it has been responsible for uncountable number of fish catches, personal bests, trophy bass and records. It has not only spawned many versions of the Senko, such as the Fat Senko, Pro Senko, Slow Senko, and more, it evolved into the Yamamoto Baits line, now brought to anglers from GSM Outdoors. Classic rigging styles are
Texas-rigged, and wacky-rigged, but there are many variations used. In the Original Senko, Fisherman’s Warehouse carries over 150 models.
Other soft stick baits available include the Yamamoto Slinko, Yum Dinger, Z-Man Fatty Z, and Zinkerz, Berkley Powerbait the General, and Strike King Ocho.
Highlighting a few of the summer season options here, Fisherman’s Warehouse has untold others and can help you get started on your hot weather bass catching. Stop in at any of their four locations in Manteca, Sacramento, Fairfield, and Rocklin or shop online. •
