GYC Senko, Keitech Salty Stick, Yum Dinger, Havoc Flat Dawg, Big Bites, etc.

[Bergen Angler]

I tried all different brands of "stick" (Gary Y., Yum Dinger, SK Ocho, Keitech Salty Stick, Havoc flat dawg, Big Bites, etc.) and all different colors (Green Pumpkin, Pink, White, Pearl, GP with "xxx" color flake). I failed to see a huge difference as I caught bass on all different colors and all different brands - usually use 5".

Even though I do like GYC Senko (I think it's heavier?), they get ripped too easily and also too darn expensive compare to others. I found Big Bites to be most resilient - Dick's is having a huge sales: 6 sticks for $1.49.

Whenever the bite is going well, I experiment with all different brands and colors and they all work. I think it's the presentation.
