Specifically GY senko the consistency of the rubber is perfect dosent break too easily and moves properly in water. I have never used a dinger but i will have to pick some up. Also with all plastic baits I just use a lighter and melt the edges where the break is and let it set for a few mins and then back in business. I have an entire bag of "educated" senkos and even some franken senkos that are made up of parts of other senkos. I love this bait and when the bite is hot I pretty much dont use anything else.
I stopped using senkos a while ago sick of catching rats all day, I'd rather target and catch big fish. They're a great bait for kids if you just want to catch a lot of fish. As far as making them last longer go to arbys and take some of their straws they slide right over a senko. Cut a little peice of the straw and put it in the center where you would put the hook in, to wacky rig it, it doesn't affect the action and will make them last far longer.

Not sure why you think a senko is only for small bass. I've used the GY 7" on fish close to 10lbs., and they are a go to down south for some truly lunker fish. Don't really fish them much up here as I fish far more salt water than fresh, but they can certainly produce big fish.

I just put in a big order with Bass Pro Shops. Their branded name "senko" type stick bait was about 25% the cost of the real deal. $3change for 16. They were well reviewed. I have to find a way to cut down on plastic costs. Between the bass, the freakin pickerel....and the lily's, I'm spending a fortune. I figure these are probably like strike kings, which I've never had a problem with.
My two cents is that Senko are the best if you talking quality only. But if you develop confidence in another cheaper brand your better off. A guy on ebay sells some that are pretty awsome. Search on Ebay "5" senko style mix and match". I also to agree with guy above who said they tend to catch more smaller fish. My brother and I fish about 10-12 hours a week for about 8 months of the year and have never picked up anything much more than 3.5 lber on a senko. We usally throw a senko(style) on every trip.
