Needemp Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I was curious if anyone uses Berkleys Power Baits with any success? I am also wondering if anyone uses the Frenzy Crankbaits with any success? Quote
Craw Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I am very fond of some of the Berkley products. I use their worms(7" and 10") and their grubs(3"). I use very dark colors for worms and for grubs I use white, black and pumpkinseed. I've used them both for a long time and I've been very happy with them. Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 i like to fish 6" powerbait w/ splitshot. it works great. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted August 15, 2006 Super User Posted August 15, 2006 One of my most succesful baits is the Berkely Power Worm in Red Shad T-rigged Quote
jake Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I use power worms all the time. I've caught more bass on these than any other worm. I dont use the frenzy baits. Quote
cpvenom Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 No Woah easy there RW, you gonna write a book with all that info? ;D Save some typing room for the rest of us! But yea ive had success with power bait and frenzy products. Quote
Needemp Posted August 15, 2006 Author Posted August 15, 2006 RW- Why not? cpvenom- What kind of success have you had on the Frenzy baits? Quote
Will Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I use the 4" power worms because they float real good, especially on drop shot. Then the frenzy popper works great, it flies like a bullet to. Quote
cpvenom Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I have a frenzy crankbait that has caught bass, bowfin and some large florida gar. The finish is becoming chipped a little but that is mostly from gar teeth I think. I have caught a few bass on the frenzy popper as well. Quote
FatBoy Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 If I'm gonna t-rig a worm (w/ weight) for dragging across the bottom, I'll always grab a powerbait ribbon tail. I feel like the stink in them (I think that's the technical term ) helps the bass hold on for a second or two longer. Maybe it's just a confidence thing. Quote
chs773 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 i like the powerbait pumpkin seed worms and redshad. I have some frenzys but i never use them so i dont know if they work lol but as for the powerbait i like it. And i think its a good deal for the price they arent expensive Quote
FALCON Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I USE POWERBAIT 7" WORMS IN WATERMELON AND RED SHAD WITH GREAT SUCCESS. I'VE ALSO HAD GOOD LUCK WITH FRENZY DIVERS. THEY CAST LIKE A BULLET. TODAY I PICKED UP A COUPLE FRENZY FLICKER SHAD (CHARTREUSE PEARL & SHAD) I'LL TRY THEM TOMORROW. Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I have never bought a bag of powerbait. I just dont see why i should, its not like they are unique, and i have good luck with what i use. Im looking into buying some power hawgs and beasts, however. Quote
BassProKevin Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 i love the berkley powerbait 7" POWER WORM, i also am a big fan of the berkley powerbait bladedancer its caught me a wide range of species, bass, northern pike, walleye, even chanel catfish! Quote

I feel like the stink in them (I think that's the technical term ) helps the bass hold on for a second or two longer. Maybe it's just a confidence thing. I think the term you're looking for is 'stank'. I like the 3" power grubs in white. Mainly because they're about the only grubs the tackle shops around here stock. Quote
paleo Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 i have had good luck on the lipless cranks i like the shad and baby bass colored ones Quote
GAMEOVER Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Berkley Powerbait worms work great for the price and are worth every penny, they last longer then all GYCB worms easyly but dont have as much finese to them. Its sort of like some of the dumb dumbs on here who think crankbaits from say Rapala arent good anymore because hey theres Lucky Craft. Too bad 90% of those same guys I wouldnt pick to catch more fish using there Lucky Craft then say me or anyone else who has been in this sport 10 or more years using a normal grub : The bait is only half the battle if that.. If it works use em, I know those Berkley Powerbaits work! Do I like em? Do I buy them? No, only because im extremely picky with what I use but just because I dont use them now or anyone for that matter doesnt mean their trash. If you have the money and are on a budget buy them. Quote
Captain Cali Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Powerbait...reminds me of trout fishing. Seriously though...I have some power worms and I don't like them very much. I also have some Frenzy jerkbaits that are decent. Quote
CrazedL.IFisherman Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I do not like the frenzy lures at all, berkely has some really good stuff, i really like the berkely bungeee hawg lures, they have caught me many big bass, and i just bought their crawfish lures, they look like they will catch some bass but have not used them yet Quote
Vyron Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Berkley is one of my favourite companies for soft plastics: My favourites are: 7" and 10" Power Worms 7" Bungee Worms Bungee Power Hawqs Power Hawqs I m experementing with the lipless crankbait they have right now and I had some good results.

Super User Matt Fly Posted August 15, 2006 Super User Posted August 15, 2006 I fish 7 inch motoroil and black and blue flecks only, any other 7 inch or smaller is different brand.....ie culprits, zoom, gene Larew. 10 in power worms, Used to buy the 100 count bags when you could find them. From late June-sept, its pretty much the main diet they see. Hookem Matt Quote
jomatty Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 while i dont use a lot of the berkley worms i do like the powerworms. the 10 inch is good. my son almost always uses a 4 or 7 inch powerworm either splitshot or t-rigged and sometimes he outfishes both me and my wife (as far as numbers go). the all black 7 inch powerworm has caught a lot of fish for him, and for me, and is one of the worms ill throw when the bite is slow at night. they are not my favorite worms but i do like them in certain situations. my son insists that they call them power worms because they have magic powers (he is only 3) how can you go wrong with a worm that has magical powers, matt Quote
Zebco202 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I have a deep diving berkly crank, a lipless crank in fire tiger and a top water popper. I don't fish them very much at all. I do like the lipless crank and have caught a few on that one before and will use it from time to time. I have a pack of the Bungee worms that I was given. I don't think I've ever used them. I have ordered a 100 count pack of 10" power worms in Tequila Sunrise. After reading the reviews in this thread, I'll be interested to try out the power worms when they come in. Quote
NJfishinGuy Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 i have been useing the 7" motor oil color worms, i have cought a few bass on them and had a pickerel slice the hole thing off Quote
