INTRODUCING THE GARY YAMAMOTO 4'' and 6'' SENKO MOLDS…
After a fantastic intro of the 5 inch, it is now time to add to the family.
This IS “The Senko” not a knock off as you may find elsewhere. From bow to transom and every little rib in between it is to exact specifications. As we have done in the past we have teamed up with Gary Yamamoto and he has given us license to manufacture a do it yourself mold to create a bait with the very same specifications as his legendary Senko, one of the most popular soft plastic baits in history.

Senko 4" is very versatile. It's round throughout so there's a lot of plastic in a bait...that makes them Heavier than say, a similar-sized Carrot that Tapers, but yet, the Senko isn't as Thick 'n Chunky as the Wutz-Its, so they cast quite easily Weightless, but their Volume isn't so much that it would hinder the Hook-Set...even better-yet when shot in Soft or Super Soft.
I see a LOT of applications for the Senko 4", in Freshwater and Inland/Coastal Saltwater.
I like Soft and Super Soft in most-everything I do (nowadays...but there are Exceptions to that Rule, of course). As a Twitch/Jerkbait, there's a distinct kick/wiggle through the rear-half (Soft or Super Soft). The Front of the Senko is Flat so it pushes a little water...this does a few things...1, it lets the bait stay higher in the water with less speed, and 2, encourages a Side-to-Side better than a Pointed Nose, which, in-turn, also produces more "kick" on the twitch which will actually Thump as it kicks and initiates the wiggle.
AND, because it's Round, You have a lot of Area for Rigging...You can turn it and stick it again if You just need another spot to Skin-Hook, like a Tube (Laminates can be at a disadvantage here).
.A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

Looks good BKJ

do u have trouble with them denting?

Thanks DF Bro!
Kevin, I have experienced some denting but I've found shooting Cool eliminates most of that.

Recipe for them Black/Blue Senkos...
Berkley Powerbait 10" Power Worms "Black/Blue flake/Blue Tail"
Lots of Do-it Softener
This Insane-Soft mix is 6 ozs of Softener in a mix that was about 24-26 ozs total, the remainder being almost Pure Power Worms that I gathered over a few years, a little here and there when I found them marked-down. Maybe 10% of this mix is Soft Plastisol from a few years ago. Powerbait-rich and CRAZY Soft.
I have found when melting Black/Blue that a little Yellowing will bring the Blue Flakes Reflection towards Green. Squirt of Blue Colorant lets the Blue Flake Reflect a rich Blue again.

Super (Super Super) Soft Shaky Senko Spin
Do-It Tip-Up w/ Screw-Loc, 1/8 oz., Junebug
Mustad 32831 NP-BN 4/0
Do-It Senko 4", Black/Blue
Same Spinner, Hildebrandt 3.5 Willow, Gold
Very stable Rig...Head/Stick hang perfectly below the blade on all retrieve speeds. Plastic/Head has a slight Sway on a steady retrieve, which is quite pleasing, but employ some twitches during the retrieve and it goes nuts. Of course, usually a steady retrieve is best in Dirty Water so they can Track It better to find it, but in cleaner water the twitches breed an Erraticness that will surely produce at times. Very nice Lure. I'm really liking these Weedless Plastics Spinners.

This Rig looked fantastic letting the Head drag bottom while retrieving just fast enough to keep the blade turning.
I'm trying to come up with a fitting title for these Weedless Plastics Spinners... 8)
-
That's an awesome setup BKJ.
-
Thank You, Mr. Carl!
I'm liking this Rig more and more. I think the Senko4 was Missing from my Repertoire all along.
-
Using a Snap on my Main Line, Spinner clipped to the Snap, Tip-Up toting a 4" Senko...it's very nice having a Weedless Spinner, but it's also mighty convenient being able to disassemble the Major Components and clip the Tip-Up/Senko onto the Main Line and either Cast 'n Retrieve it or Flip/Pitch to Cover, or fish it (various ways) on Structure.
Side Note...the 4" Split Tail Trailer looks like it would fit well to this.
-
4" Senko Jerk on Gamakatsu 584 3/0.
That hook is slightly lacking Vertical Gap (on a Horizontal Plane/Axis) for this plastic so it slightly sets the Back down just a tad, but it does still Fish very nice.

Shot some 4" Senkos in Hard, Glow/Silver, for fishing on Jigheads in Inland Saltwater. They did WELL. I can't WAIT to get Back in the Saddle of Usual Life and get these wet. Specks and Reds and Flounder ain't gonna know what to do wit Demsefs!
I haven't worked with Glow Powder a whole lot other than adding a touch for Cloudiness in the Color. It is heavy stuff and slightly stiffens Plastic. The Glow/Silver was 24 ounces of Plastic with 1 TBSP of Glow. Dense coloration, Glows strong. It is sparse-enough so that the Silver Pearl shows...I added liquid Silver Pearl twice, the 2nd time was after I started adding cut-up scraps back to the Pot so I don't have a definite recipe that suits me (perfectly), but I rewrote in the Book as 60 Drops (CCM/M-F Pearl Silver Smoke) Silver Pearl to a 12-ounce batch.
Glow, ON.

Will the CNC Senko Lami Plates work with the Essential Senko molds?
-
I guess I'd call and ask Brennan or Kyle. In looking at both molds it looks as though the plate would be usable in both, but asking would confirm. I make my own plates using thin punch metal...tinned steel, copper, or brass works well....if I need a plate. I much prefer just hand pouring on side then doing the second color by injection just for the randomness. Plates give you the straight line, but you know that.
