If Havoc is their premium bait why is it so much cheaper than the Powerbait counterparts?? Gulp is a different ball game because they incorporate a container and attractant liquid into prices for some items. But between Havoc and their regular line. I don't get it?

Havoc is their economy line.

Have you compared both plastics?

Havocs:

• cheaply made
• look a little shoddier and have less clean edges
• little to no scent. 
• still catch fish

Powerbait

• More attention to detail
• reeking with scent 
• still catch fish 

 

It's up to you to decide which to fish with. Easy solution for me; both!

I'm going off comparing the Bottom Hopper and Berkley Shakey head worm lol $3 vs $6. But even still the pit bosses are awesome for the money, super durable.

Powerbait scent is great. Also, the baits are better made. That said. I got a literal "boat load" of both. The Havoc Smash Tubes by Ike are the only tubes I use, and I really like the Havoc Pitbossess and Havoc  back slides.

 

My favorite texas rigged bait is the 4" inch berkley powerboat crazy chigger craw in green pumpkin. 

 

Use them both. They are both great baits, and the havocs fish like a much more expensive bait. 

I'm gonna have to say I have moved away from either one. Big Bite Baits by Spro is my go to nowadays.

I throw dozens of brands. Certain trailer work better for me, certain worms etc etc. just never knew havoc was the cheap line from them I thought it was their flagship way it is promoted.

Havoc is zero scent just mass produced from plain plastic molds they they probably pour by the truckload for dirt cheap.  Berkley's done an amazing job marketing the Havoc line as pro-designed(with a name attached), and keeping the price lower per bait than almost all of their competitors.  They've also done a great job of putting out some unique colors that you don't see elsewhere.  $3 for a bag of plastics is dirt cheap in today's market, and they're durable too.  The pit boss has to be a staple in almost everyone's collection.

I love them both .... Fish don't care ... Especially when you throw a little JJ's or Megastrike on it.  

Love the Pit boss and chigger craw.Throw them alot

I buy havoc for the bait designs which in a number of cases are kind of unique, and I buy powerbait for the....powerbait.

Both lines of baits work great. I've found a spot in the boat for almost all the Havoc baits I've tried.

Almost every time I've bought havoc stuff it was buy 5 bags for $5 at Dicks. Lol idk how they make money with sales like that.

Because it probably cost them .50 to produce a bag

Then when they sell 5 bags at a time to thousands of us at a time, they have no complaints.

Big Bite is it's owned by Spro. Spro is actually owned by Gamakatsu. Either way though Big Bite makes some good soft plastics!

Oh, I was under the impression they were. No wonder Spro stock hooks are good! And yes, for a good price too!

Also explains why their stock hooks are ALWAYS Gamies too haha. Big Bite does sell their stuff for a good price. They also make the Gander Mountain line of soft plastics which can usually be found even cheaper, or in more of a bulk package.

Works for me lmao

Pit Bosses are awesomeeeeee. Even if they don't have scent, they still work.

Yes sireee.

IMHO, Pit Boss And Sweet Beaver are the best punching baits you can buy.

All I can tell you is the fish will fight you for a Powerbait Chigger Craw. Even when they feel your resistance, they'll hold on and try to yank it away.

This is true in my experience as well.

I've tried trigger craws not bad at all but my rage craws and chunks have been my go to trailers.

I watched a guy at BPS demonstrate them in the tank and I was sold. I bought a pack of 4" Crazy Legs Chigger Craws shortly thereafter. They will bight the appendages off, but they really like that thing, and they seem to throw themselves at it.
