Today I had a 5" berkley power minnow rigged on a 3/0, 1/16oz weighted EWG hook and on the fall this thing quivered like nothing I've seen before. It didn't just wiggle, it quivered. I'd drag it through newly emergent reeds and let it fall at the edge. Both the bass and crappie were tearing it up.

Not sure where or when I bought these(I'm thinking years ago). I looked online and all I can find is the gulp version. Most Gulp! products I have used seem like they are deformed or kinked due to to consistency of the Gulp! plastic so I'm thinking they wouldn't work. Anyone know where a feller can find the original berkley power minnows or another soft jerkbait that has the same action?

Try TW. If they dont have them go on their message board and request them. If you ask for them they will usually get it for you.

try the clearance section online at BPS. they usually have older baits that are discontinued for half of the price

is this it?

I think you're refering to their Jerk-Shad baits.

If they're still on the website they should still be available from somebody.

This is actually the bait. Looks like they only have it in the 4inch version. May have to look at the one Lund Explorer posted. Didn't even think about looking at berkleys website. What a spaz. Thanks fellas

For some reason the link isn't working.
