Only problem I've noticed with the Yamamoto Senkos is that they seem fragile. I grew up fishing Culprit and Berkley worms and lizards Texas rigged as well as various craws and Sloggos and such. I used to be able to catch a dozen bass on one it seems before it was just too torn up to hold the hook. I've been fishing Senkos a good bit lately, both weighted and weightless and they seem like they're torn all to pieces after one or two hard hooksets.
