- Ultra soft bait with incredible scent. Has a great kicking action too. Much better than my usual Bass Pro crappie tubes. BUT. The Price. A bit too much.. I wish I could buy it in bulk and ad 20% of the price..

I've used those Berkley's before with good results & you've definitely got plenty for some nice Fish Fillet Samiches!!
Berkley products are reliable, and usually reasonably priced... but this is a bit pricey for count of 12..
I use these Berkely power bait nymphs for trout fishing and yes I do catch a lot of big trout with them. I think they just got to give you a little bit more in the bag than they do. Awesome fishing video
they probably put a little less these days. That's why the baggie is not transparent, so u can't see how many inside : )
Awesome. Was just about to ask if anyone had success putting trout on with these.
@@brianshripka2917 absolutely!! Its amazing for trout. But go for bright colors, not the natural ones..
Nice vid🎣🎣👍🏼 Greetings from Germany✌🏻️🇩🇪✌🏻
Your video inspired me to get these things out. I bought 5 packs at Walmart clearance for a buck-fifty a pack , I have never used them but you can bet I will start using them now great video
Now is kind of a bad time, unless u live south of kentucky.. : ) If u live up north, perch fishing will be great on these... you will see me use them a lot in the next few weeks
@@ifishcatfish I will start using them next spring....I am in Pennsylvania...where are you
Chicago. If you can find water around 50F you can try. Your weather is not as bad over there...
@@ifishcatfish I love smallmouth fishing streams they look to be good for that too. Great videos what is your accent I am Hungarian it is similar
You could glue them and put them back in the package to preserve the scent. Crappie have to be 10" 25 fish limit here in Texas
Thats a good idea, im gona try that...
We don't have such limit anywhere around me... but of course we don't have the Texas crappies : )
This lake has no limit on size, but u can keep only 10 fish, so u end up keeping close to 10 anyway..
That alot of action, they seem to work very well. Like you said kinda expensive but at least you can catch multiple fish on a bait. Wonder if they would work for surf perch or trout. I might do a challenge and see if I can catch saltwater species on them. Probably won't last as long. Thanks again my friend great video and review. Looks like they are a winner
they don't last long in freshwater either. Very soft body. but i can confirm they got bites on a spot where I cast for 5 mins with the tubes and got no bites..
@@ifishcatfish that says a lot right there.
Expensive and catches is better than cheap and not catching!
Also, you can take some superglue on the boat with you, and attach them there...😉
this may sound ignorant, but is superglue different than krazy glue? I use the blue containers at home, and they do take some time go dry..
@@ifishcatfish different brand names, but both brands have fast drying and slow drying “super glues” and generally the fast drying superglues definitely have a strong chemical smell
These are great lures I use them as well the pink the orange are my go to. They also work for small mouth bass and other panfish caught rock bass yellow perch and even suckers slow jigging
I got that color too and tried it today and yes - also really good. Maybe even better, because my water is green and the orange stands out a little, while the green nymph is hard to see... they have to feel the vibration.. and scent..
@@ifishcatfish they do make a chartruese and yellow as well. But I've caught the most on the pink or the orange
love powerbait
We were drifting a hump in 27' up to 15' my buddy was drifting live worms catching bluegills closer to the bottom. I was using a 1/16 oz lead head and a yellow power nymph and pulling in Crappies up high. Just love those things. Have had success every time I've put them on a hook even when they were pretty torn up the scent really does attract well.
Tried other colors today... Didn't matter - they all work FANTASTIC. It seems like this is a very old bait - i can't believe i haven't tried it all these years... The legs... kick real nice when u jig it... very lively... this bait has got everything..
The long legs in the middle. They come attached out of the package, be sure to separate before casting. Kinda like beaver and plastic craws with bass, detach for more action, etc
@@ifishcatfish Victor I'm not real sure on the how old part i bought some a while back 5 maybe 6 years ago they looked interesting with all those appendages being kind of floppy...alls I know is that they worked good for me. I'll try out the pink one maybe I can catch big momma lol.
this comment just now showed in my feed. I have big problems with comments not showing or immediately disappearing.
Thanks for the tip - i will make sure i split them!
I am surprised this bait is so old and still so expensive... but definitely gona be buying some more. Berkley had a 4th of july sale, but not on these : (
Hi victor. Yes. I had another comment but I think it disappeared. I will repost in. A sec. I think UA-cam does not want us to be friends.
“Omg look at this crappie” x10😂😂
i miss the days of my younger me
Not a bad day. Good for you. Not a total believer in the artificial scented baits. My buddy and I were slamming gills a while back. We thought it would be a good time to try the Berkley power bait maggots or what ever they were. We put it on and the gills attacked it to within a 1/4 inch then immediately backed paddled away from the bait. That turned us off that stuff forever. Obviously it works but I don't think it will out fish real bait.
Challenge accepted! Me with Nymph vs u with anything u want!
@@ifishcatfish LOL
Well, I hope they are the miracle bait you make them look like. I bought 2 packages.👍🏼
Mark, in all honesty... yesterday I fished them again and they triggered bites on spots where I cast for 5 minutes with all my other stuff. I don't know about miracles... the fish needs to be there on the first place. But I noticed they don't let go right away like when they bite my other tubes. The thing is so soft and tastes so good that even in their mouth they think its the real thing..
Billof rights I tried them out a couple years ago and I had great success with the yellow. I will definitely use them as I recently bought a couple more packages, that how much I liked them...I will be buying other colors too.
👍🏼
Wow. I knew they were censoring. That’s why I was always so hesitant to post links. Anyway, third time posting this. Lol. How do you attach the slices of corn kernel to your rig? I am going to try that. I am worried about it coming loose on the cast
At the end of the hair rig there is a tiny loop. U run a thin stick, called a stopper , through the loop. I have a video called pineapple boilies vs corn where i show it. But there are better videos on youtube. Typing on my phone now, will send u the link later
Sorry. I had a brain fart. I mean the corn cob itself. Not the kernels.
casting the actual corn cob? I have never heard of such technology : ) Be sure to send me some image on the email that would help me understand that rig. Also - what are you trying to do? Catch carp? Why not feeder and packbait? They emit more scent than a corn cob and break down into eatable particles on the bottom.. If you are into carp fishing i can send you a couple of pre tied feeder rigs. You owe me pictures with carp with them : )
Berkley!!!!!!!!!!!!💪🏾
Crappie are line shy. Maybe you should direct tie to you jig instead of using an angler's clip. They are going for $7.99 on Amazon, so you got a good price.
Crappie have excellent eyesight, but look at this water.... they can't see nothing 8' down... only shades.. I had a 300 fish day on another lake but with the same clip earlier this year... I thought the same thing but when I tested it - it didn't matter. Actually I think it catches more fish, because the jig is attached very losely and has much freeer action..
I bought these from amazon... this is the 1" size. They still show 4.99
Hey, can you write the name of the first fish, i'm french and i have dificult for understand. Thank you😉
greetings! This is a black crappie. You guys don't have it in Europe.. . It is in the bass family
@@ifishcatfish ok thanks, so its a predator?
Which color of this bait were you using?
i really don't remember the name of the color. Green back and white belly.
maybe it was the brown back. I don't know. I have 4 colors now. Green and brown back are both great. Orange back is OK but they seem to be more suspicious to it.
@@ifishcatfish Thanks man for the quick reply!!
What jig head/size did you use?
1 gram head, #8 sickle hook. I use different stuff today. If you are new to my channel, i have a whole playlist with just jig heads reviews
Was that the 2 inch power nymph?
1". But the length when expanded is close to 2". However I caught so many baby fish on these that the size is definitely not a problem for small fish.
Thanks. Where did you get them?
how much did you pay for them? its about 4$ for 15 here. its about the same price as real worm.
I paid $5. Where do u buy them for 4$?
@@ifishcatfish yeah, i just checked its about 5$...

so the main body is 1 inch right ?
just buy them. Everything eats them, even little bluegill or big bass
That is not expensive at all compare to live worms we buy. By the fact, it is very cheap. Thanks, I have those but did not try it yet.
still use these, all these years later! Also watch my video on dressing these with BG-1 jigs!
what? 9 inch is huge!
i agree
Please treat the fish in ethical and compassionate way and apply the gill cut after stunning!
As a fisherman you should act ethically, especially on UA-cam.
What is your problem, sir? Give me time stamp! I don't know what you are talking about
No sportfisher but breadfisher 👎🤑
this lake doesn't have size limit for a reason - it has tons of small fish and they compete for the same food and cant grow.
Anyway, I myself don't eat fish, but do harvest when my wife or her friends ask me.
