The 7in/10in Power Worm has been a staple in the bass fishing world for many a moon. 

30 packs of chigger craws over tw sale.  They aren't eating other trailers as well at the moment.

The Most Interesting Man In The World - I Don't Fish Plastics Often But When I Do, It's Berkley

The Berkley Gulp "Ripple Shad" is a 4 inch, fish catching beast. Use a little jig head most styles of jig heads work. Spring through Fall even warm days in Winter these things will PRODUCE.

This day and age, it is hard to be a one brand soft plastics guy. So many companies have diverse and plentiful offerings that you can get just about anything you want just about anywhere. Some companies do excel at certain things more than others so this is what makes it tough. Whether it's price, shapes, colors, actions, you have to pick and choose, one brand won't cover it all perfectly.

I thoroughly enjoy Powerbait minnows and chigger craws, we even have some old power tubes that still can be the ticket to a tough bite.

I really like the havoc baits. Cheap and effective. I really like some of the designs, some I don't but that doesn't mean they don't have a place in someone else's arsenal. The Havoc juice worm and slop craw (used in a specific way... shhhhh!) are two of my most used and productive baits I throw. I actually like that most of the lineup is unsalted/unscented so that they have decent buoyancy and I can add scent of my own choice.

They just introduced a few baits/changes for 2016 that look like great additions I am looking forward to giving a try.

The Powerbait seven inch worm is part of my holy three lures of all time and what I always have on me - Powerbait seven inch work, five inch Yum-Dinger and five to six inch or so lizard.  Those three lures Texas rigged have caught me a lot of bass in my four years of bass fishing.  

What happened to the havoc worm that looked like the thumping dinger? I was looking forward to trying them out this year. I don't see them on tw or the Berkley site.

Power Worms are a staple, tough to beat in colored water.

I've has some great success on smallmouth using the Grass Pig jr.
