Does anyone like Berkley PowerBaits or Frenzy

When I want to fish a worm, I grab a Power worm. I use BPS finesse binder bags for all my soft plastics, and I have one stuffed full of Power worms and craws. Nothing else in that one. I guess we know what I think.

Power worms work- they are the number one selling worm for a reason.  I also like the Frenzy crankbaits, and throw them mostly when the water temp is in the 50's.  They have a tight, erratic wiggle that seems to excel in cold water.  The Frenzy crankbaits go on sale for $1.99 a few times a year, and I think that is an exceptional value for a scale-textured bait with glass eyes.  They catch fish, too  ;)

Good feedback on the soft plastics. I need a little more input on the Frenzy crank baits though. The reason I ask is because I am reading the book by Kieth Jones PhD who has studied bass for 16 years at Berkley. I am just curious whether or not he was able to develop an effective bait from all his research. Thanx guys.

P.S. Cart7 Where are you? ;D

I use some berkley Powerbait worms with good success. I really have done well with the Frenzy divers. Late last season I picked up some Frenzy Flicker Shad lures and did pretty good. This season I hope to give them alot more work.

Power worm in Tequila Sunrise has been money for me.  Bought a bag when I first started fishing a couple of years ago and my son and I have been catching fish on ever since.  I bought a Frenzy Ratlr crankbait in the bargain bin and eventually lost it.  I didn't think it was anything special and have been buying Rat-L-Traps since.  

However, I have a couple of deep diving minnows by Frenzy that I like.  They got some recognition at either a Bass or Walleye tournament (you'll see it on the packaging).  I caught some bass on them and like they run to 11 feet deep.  I am going to try for some walleye this year.  

I like the 7 and 8 in Bungee worms, great for swimming and deadsticking

I like their soft plastics but I always thought the Frenzys looked pretty strange but I never really tried em. I read an article or saw a thing on TV where Ike used them with a lot of success in some tournament or another but that doesn't really mean much...

Powerbait worms 7 and 10 inch work great.

BungeePowerbait Hawgs and Power Hawgs work well too.

Frenzy lipless crankbaits have worked well for me in the past, especially the previous models of bluegill and baby bass. Their newer models, despite their more realistic hues have not been as succesful for me...

I've got some frenzy cranks but I've never used them.

I've got some frenzy firestick minnow jerkbaits and have added to the collection.  I've caught fish withem.

Powerbait worms are great. While I don't use them specifically, Bass do tend to grab hold of those worms and hold on.

Oh, and I tip my crappie jigs with crappie nibbles when the crappie are hitting kinda light.  They seem to bite the jig a little more aggresively.

I think Berkley Powerbait soft plastics are amazing. They are probably the most advanced and proven soft plastics manufactuers in the market.

Now let the testifying begin lol ;)
