bryanmc Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Does anyone know the weight (in grams) of a genuine GY 6" senko? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I weighed a hundred or so at one time and it was around 10.7 g +/- 0.3 g. Edited January 25, 2021 by Travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Dangit all I have is 5 inchers. True Yamamoto watermelon red. Weighed 4 of them. 11 grams each right on the nose, so I'm guessing a 6 incher would be 12 to 13??.......if that helps at all. BTW.......I had no idea they weighed that much. Interesting........

Glad you posted this I quoted 5 inch senkos. I went out and dug through my stuff and couldn't find any actual senko just stuff I had poured. I did find some stocking stuffers for my wife I had hid in the tackle closet.. Just a month late. I need to sort through my tackle and get organized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I knew the 5" are 11g. The 6" is not only longer but larger diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm hoping someone beats me to it, but now I have a desire to buy a pack of 6's and weigh them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryanmc Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Thanks guys. I poured some yesterday and didn't remember my exact ratio of plastic to gbm. They came out at 17g so I was pretty close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 I was surprised that one extra inch had that much more weight in it, but then again you can cast those things a mile, so.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the diameter as well.... you'd be shocked how a little extra diameter adds a ton of volume (and therefore weight) - on cylindrical forms - diameter typically much more effective at adding volume than length. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
