Berkley Powerbait Shaky Snake

Featured Replies

Anybody use these yet?  I like the power worms and wanted to see how these preform.  Does the tail stand up?

 

Thanks,

I went through a whole pack of them yesterday evening after work in about 3 hours. I will be buying more. Word of caution.... TW and even Berkleys website say 10 come in a bag, the bag say's 8, and you get 8. Durability is nothing to write home about, but I caught about 15 bass on the pack of 8,a few got their tails bit off by panfish, with a decent amount of 3+ lb fish. It was the only thing I used yesterday just to play around with them, I used them as a finesse flipping bait Texas rigged with a 1/4 oz. sinker pegged to the nose on a 2/0 heavy wire ewg hook, flipped and pitched into shallow weed holes and under docks with heavy line and on my flipping rod. It got dark out, and they were biting it the way I was fishing it, so I didn't get a chance to use it on light line and a shaky head.

Great news and thanks for the write up.  You're right all the info I see says 10.  $4.99 for 8 - is high by Berkley standards.  I'll be sure to grab a few packs next time.  I have my eyes on the GP Chart. and maybe a Watermelon as well as the old stand by - B&B Flk.
