I went to the web site...
https://store.baits.com/home.php

where I ordered last year... there is only one color 2" Senko listed.
And it's not white. I'm thinking it might be discontinued. I'm going to write to the company and try to find out what the deal is.

The 2" Senko was originally made for the Japan market, and in the us as a panfish bait. I guess were the only place that uses them for big fish. :lol:
No one that I know fishes the Senko like we fish it.

Perhaps we could ask the "Filthyfisherman" if he could make a run of 2" white plastic "worms" for us.... everyone put in a pre-order so he won't get stuck with any extras.

We could have a contest to name the new 2" plastic worm.
(I'll donate a fishing trip to the winner)
What do you think?

Actually Stan, I just ordered 5 packs of twenty from that site and the white is available. Once you click the buy now button it takes you to a different screen where you can pick between 8 different colors. Option 036 is cream white. I just bought some as recent as last week so there shouldn't be a problem. The only bad thing is the shipping cost. Well worth it to me though to catch some nice tucs!

You have to buy at least $10 worth of gear/lures as well, so you might as well buy at least four packs. They don't last many hookups anyway. The shipping was about $20 I believe. You'll end up paying about $30. I can check later for the exact cost. I'll be sure to post it ASAP. They are worth it regardless!

I forget where I ordered my white ones from. I ordered about 500 or so since I heard they were being discontinued. You might as well order a substanial amount since they don't last much more than one fish, plus shipping charges are likely to be about the same.

I've used the 4" bass pro senkos (stik-o's) a little bit and they work...if you are dead set on two inches you can cut/pinch them in half. I don't mind doing that. Can't imagining the fish minding a whole lot either :D

Sounds good to me.... What do you think Filthyfisherman? Shall we start collecting names and then set up a pole to vote on them?
"The Little White 2" Hawaiian Senko" just doesn't roll off the tongue to well. Probably a trademark problem there too.

"The Filthy Little 2" Worm" No, I can't see it.

Hey Stan, are you trying to win a fishing trip with yourself? Haha! Anyway, I'm still brainstorming. Right now I got the Tuc Teaser!
