Berkley Powerbait Samurai Hawg

Featured Replies

Hi guys. Just found a pack of these in an old tackle box. Never used them before. Has anyone tried these or anything similar? Do you think ot would be effective, and how would you rig and fish a bait like this? Thanks.

I believe it would catch fish. I would fish it as a Texas rig with the two long arms out behind the bend of hook. It might work as a jig trailer depending on the length of it.

I think they'd definitely work as a jig trailer, specifically when you want a bulkier, louder profile and presentation. It seems like it could be too big and flappy when you need a quieter,  finessier look. Nice find.

I would Carolina rig that sucker, first and foremost.  I like big, bulky baits on my Carolina rigs.  Second, I would pitch it in light to moderate cover.  There are a lot of appendages to get caught up on a thicker laydown or grass patch, and I would opt for a more streamlined bait for that.  Third, I would put it on a swing head and fish it like a crankbait.

When the weather gets warmer, I may try to fish this bait with this, and maybe try to land a big one. Could work, right?

It'll most definitely work.  :)
