The Slinko is unlike anything in Yamamoto's product line. First, the ribbed shape body allows for bulk while maintaining the classic Senko profile. The ribs not only make for great hooksts, they put off bubbles to give a more lifelike presentation. The most important aspect of the Slinko is its construction from Yamamoto's new Mega Floater Formula. Itstands up on a jighead, dances vertically on a Neko Rig, and floats on a Carolina Rig. Although new, it has the umatched action that you would expect to get only from Yamamoto Baits!
