Dumb question but as I read on this site I realize Im much more novice of a fisherman than I thought I was. I see a lot of you having success with a senko worm. I went to youtube to see how to rig and fish this, but I have one last stupid question... is Senko the brand or type or worm?

both, the original senko is the yamasenko by Gary Yamamoto, but most companies make them and call them a different name. but they are still referred to as a senko

It's kind of like how most people refer to a tissue as a "Kleenex". The original Senko is made by Yamamoto. Just about every soft plastic company has a variation of the "Senko" now.
Agreed! Its not the Yamamoto design that's better its the life like plastic they use. Only drawback is its also the brand you have to replace the most because they rip so easily because of said plastic.

I noticed how easily they tore last night too. I was fishing bass tourny throwing a 5 inch white yamasenko and caught 6 or 7 in one cove, used 5 senkos...

I picked up a bag tonight of 5" green pumpkinseed yamasenkos.. Are you having them rip wacky or Texas rigged? I read about using the o-ring for wacky rigging but I don't fully understand how its done.

Thanks im hoping to pick up a couple more bags at some point but I've been spending a lot on fishing lately so I need a break. Was torn between the Yum dingers and yamasenkos but there was only a $2 difference. Still trying to get the hang of what color to throw in what conditions.

I've done just as well with the YUM brand as I have with Yamamoto. The YUM are a bit tougher as well. If you think the "scent" stuff is wearing off, just roll the worm in the bag a couple seconds. Those bags (some) are jam packed with salt and stuff. "Recharge" the worm, throw again. We've notice no difference in catch ratio between Yamamoto and YUM.
Actually, I've done the BEST with Trigger X brand. Very tough but very flexible worm. I save the juice that the worm is in (they are individually wrapped worms) and keep the worms stored in a zip-lock bag full of that stuff. At $0.99 a pack and it outfished YUM and Yamamoto, that's a winner. Overstockbait.com has them on sale from time to time.

Take the o-ring, slide it to the middle of the bait. Take your hook run it through the o-ring rather than hooking the middle of the bait.

I haven't used Trigger X yet, but I do swear by YUM dingers in Smoke Pearl. I agree on re-rolling the bait in the original bag to get some fresh scent on it works wonders!
Senko worm?
