laminated tiki??????

[KH.]

i just got back from wal-mart and picked up some hooks and some tikis.the wierd thing was it said laminated series on it.it looked the same ,smell the same,every thing was the same except it said laminated series on it.

[Rebbasser]

The laminated series is one color on the top and one on the bottom:

i had a fellin you would be the first to answer reb

Tiki offers 4 variances:

Orginal: Solid colors
Laminate: Two tone
Dip: Tail colored differently from body
Swirl: Two tone but swirled thru-out body.

[KH.]

i know all the rest okay i usually get the original since thats al my wal-mart has but apparently they laminated now so bye

[454ss]

What color was the ones you got?

[KH.]

Red/shad And I Got Some More Lizards From Strike King 3x


Man Do I Like Those

[454ss]

RED SHAD is MY best color but any walmart ive been to doesnt have tikis in red shad so i always get the kinamis if i need red shad. Them strike king lizards i got a pack to try from BPS and they were only 99 cents a pack

My Bps doesnt even have tikis in red shad :S

[KH.]

Dang 99 Cents I Need A Bps Mine Were Three Bucks But They Last For Ever And They Stand Straight When On The Bottom

[Rebbasser]

They also get VERY sticky after they have been in the water for a while-they get all balled up on the hook with the look and consistancy of a gummy bear. That's why WalMart is clearing them out-they are almost unusable after they have been in the water a little while.

i'm just pissed that my wal-mart doesn't have any green pumpkin/chartreuse swirl anymore/right now. The bass around here freakin love that color and I can't find it anywhere!

I guess I could do this myself, just lazy. Can you pinch the Tiki's and have them change colors somewhat? On the Senko's and Yum Dinger's if you pinch the tails they usually will lighten up quite a bit. I'm sure it has to do with the salt content, just wondering if the Tiki's do the same.

I don't know the answer to that one. 50 years of bass fishing and I've never owned or fished a Tiki Stick. I do fish the Zoom, Bass Assasin and in particular the Strike King 3X Ztoo flukes. I probably love these as much as a lot of these people on this site love their "Sticks". I fish them weightless in the thickest slop I can find. I fish the "pearl" color 90% of the time because they're easy to control visually and the fish love them.

Great to see that there´s another "old school" old fishing fart just like me , don´t know what the hype is all about, I have 5 packs of senkos in 5 colors and rarely use them, haven´t seen much difference in the ammount of fish I catch with them or with other baits.

[KH.]

thier not hitting tikis like they were

[haynesn12]

fish get used to baits that are the same shape and size and if you over fish them with just that kind of bait they'll stop taking em.

[jonnyp22]

i have fished bass assassins a couple times and still got more, i never hvae any luck with them? how do you hook then and fish them cuz i must be doing something wrong

I've been fishing for as many years. I posted last week that me and my friend went fishing , and I used the Tiki and he used the culprit, and we both caught the same amount of fish. Some one else posted that I probably wasn't fishing it right or putting it into the right places. I made no comment to that statement, but did say we wrere going to try it again. We did and no difference in one over the other. I will stick with the culprit, it's less expensive.

My friend probably is a better fishermsn than I. But we did go back and fish the same place. This time I used the culprit and he the tiki. The same results as before, same size fish an both baits. When I said culprits were less expensive, that is you can catch more fish on a culprit and they last longer. And you are right, the tiki is verry much over rated.

[KH.]

yeah tikis are pretty good but a lot of people use this and only this i had a thread asking what lure should i use and like a million people where like tiki tiki tike!!!!!!!!!!

[River stumps]

Kh! I remember back 10 or 12 years when the gitzit cam out and it was verry popular, one of the pros was using it and won the classic. That thing sold like pancakes at IHOP. I got some, and they did catch fish. But i discovered later on why people were catching fish with the gitzit, was that was all they were using. But it fizzled out. I have a bunch of them that 've had for years, I seldom use them, because they are no better than any other jig out their. Same with the Tiki. Well so much for that. You have a good day fishing.

[454ss]

Yea the tiki is over rated now but a few weeks ago it wasnt casue it was catchin alot of fish but now the fish are used to em and now there not hittin em................................... Wonder what the next wonder bait will be lol

[KenDammit]

I'm sorry, I just can't believe they are over-rated or "done in" now. I can catch fish after fish after fish and can even catch the same fish up to 3 times from the same spot on a Tiki when I can't catch anything on spinners, other plastics, cranks, topwater, anything I have that I can throw at a particular situation.

lizards have been doing good for me lately
