Product Reviews: Soft Sticks
By Russ Bassdozer
Yamamoto Senko
 The
word "Senko" must mean something in Japanese. My own
personal translation for it is "Hot, Hot, Hot!" You
won't find that definition in an English-Japanese dictionary, but
many anglers who try the new Senko find this to be its true
meaning. To define it further, the Senko is a soft subsurface
jerkbait. Because of its dense plastic formula, it sinks fast,
stays down and therefore resembles hard plastic jerkbaits
(Rogues, Husky Jerks, etc.) more than other soft surface-oriented
stickbaits (Flukes, Slug-gos, etc.). Articles: Senko

Bass Assassin Shad
 The
Bass Assassin was the first shad-shaped soft jerkbait - and still
one of the very best. Since then, there have been many imitations
but few equals. It's five inches long, the ideal shad size and
shape. Key to catching is when the bait falls on a semi-slack
line - it should wobble slightly and make small body movements.
