Hey Praznik -

I have a line of senko knock offs called SinkSlo's and I absolutely love fishing them. I have caught more large fish using these baits over the last year then on tubes over the last three years.
I fish them weightless, casting or skipping them under docks, overhangs or around rock piles for smallies. For largemouths, I cast along the lilly pad edges or up into breaks in the weed beds. Both species usually hammer them straight away and hard. I use an Eagle Claw Pro Series L7005BPG-3/0 and 8 lb. Berkley XL line on a spinning outfit for the 4" size. My current favorite for both largemouth and smallmouth bass is pearl w/silver flake.
Our SinkSlo's tend to last longer than the senko's. We heavily salt them for a fantastic fall rate which stays in the strike zone longer.
Another good way to fish them is using a drop shot rig using 6 lb. Berkley XL and a #1 split shot/drop shot hook.

Terry
I am very impressed with your store. As I was thumbing through, I saw an add looking for quality handpoured baits. I follow the same reaction of a slow fall. I feel that keeping the bait in the strike zone longer entices lockjawed fish to react. The baits I make are a quality handpour that catches fish. Not only by presentation, but All of my ingredients are baked in as far as salts, and garlic salt to boot, an array of natural scents and cover scents such as anise,bass feast, and other ingredients that fish hold onto the bait for proper and deeper hooksets. Including 80 different color combinations with laminates and different colored fleck combinations. I understand that you make a knock off senko.
I make a knock off senko handpour. But that can be talked about and left out if preferred. I make other baits as well, such as the reaper, Grim Reaper, 4 inch worm and a 6 inch worm and a 3 inch grub. I am in the process of making a crawfish jig trailer. If there is something else you are looking for I am easy. I have had my baits reviewed by http://www.basslurereviews.com/ and a fellow by the name of snagman who has worked for various large companies reviewing baits. He has posted many times on different forum boards. But one of the most effective review and testimonial is
fishingboard.com.

I trim every single one of my baits, this alows me to inspect each and ever bait too for any deformities or air pockets. I am very fussy what goes out. I work very hard at these baits and it has paid off . I send samples across the country and into Canada. I want to get my handpoures into the hands of the anglers. So I give away alot of samples and let them decide. I get alot of testimonials, with catching fish and even by looking at them when they recieve them. My baits are very soft and without losing that soft lifelike texture I maintain durability, where you can catch multiple fish on 1 bait. You can check out my web site http://www.bearpawshandpouredbaits.com
I upgrade my site often and try to add new things also, such as molded in glass rattles.
I will be calling you in the week

Take care
