Rated 5 out of 5 by swhodge12 from Great Bait Great for the Fluke Jerkbait application we needed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by GaryTheBestFisherman from Awesome action The action of these if second to none. Great weight for castability and making great jerking/ darting action. Better than Super Flukes in my opinion. Super flukes, when jerked fast, jump out of the water too easily. These will jump when you want them to, or will stay 1-3' under water and dart back and forth like I usually want without popping up out of the water. I've caught a lot of fish on these. I "Texspose" my hook... meaning bury it in the back of the lure. The hook point doesn't like to stay buried in there too long and I find that the back gets torn up easily rendering the bait useless after a while. If you cast and lob it into the water, it holds up. But if you skip it under docks and trees, the bait will fall apart in the above mentioned manner. That said, it still remains a great bait with fantastic action. The eyes dont stay on for too long, but they made a good effort to make them to last. I dont think any 3d jerk shad type bait has eyes that last very long. I do like that theyre there for at least a while. I wish the material was more durable. I also wish that the colors wouldnt be discontinued. When you fins a bait that you like, it sucks when your color gets discontinued. I'm happy that these last two remaining colors are very natural... kinda universal to many bodies fo water. I'm a firm believer that the action trumps color, so I can make these colors work.

Rated 4 out of 5 by musket from 5 in powerbait minnow I have bought this product for many years. The stores could hardly keep it on the shelf and now I don't see it, especially in pearl white & Shad fish grey color.

Rated 5 out of 5 by POC fanatic from Best value soft plastic bait. I have been using Berkely Power Bait for two years in the Gulf Coast area. Fish hit it hard, yet the bait holds up for multiple catches. Because of it's durability and effectiveness, I feel it is the best value for your money. Secretly, I hope very few people read this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wedge from Jerk Shad - Mullet Tough lure and very productive for Speckled Trout and Redfish. First outing with fish buddy I boated 4 Trout and a Redfish before he had his first strike on live shrimp!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by webFishrz from Great Product! The Berkley PowerBait Saltwater Jerk Shad is my favorite soft plastic bait by far. It is great for sight fishing the flats, skipping under docks or mangroves, or blind casting to search for fish. It has been effective on trout, snook, redfish, ladyfish, jacks and even flounder. It is easily rigged with a regular twistlock hook or belly-weighted twistlock hook, depending on depth you are fishing. They are very durable and can be used over and over again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tmac from Great Bait The jerk shad is the most lifelike lure in the soft jerk bait catagory. With this and the power bait scent it is a killer bait.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fish1 from Ling cod killer Bought the 5" anchovy for a rock fish trip out of Berkley, CA. Since we had to fish in strong winds and current, it makes fishing hard. I rigged it up on a live bait rig and caught 8 shaker ling cods and 1 keeper ling cod. I even tipped on shrimp flies and worked good for rock cod.

Questions & Answers

what color is best for stripers?

Asked by: Liam150

Everyone has their own preferences but the important thing is that your lure "stand out" so that it will attract the attention of a bass. Yellows, neon green, parrot, pearl white and gold's are the best overall colors for all hours except in the dead of night. During hours of full dark, black, purple or dark blue are better simply because they can be seen easier.

What is the best way to fish this bait?

Asked by: BassPredator

Put it on a jig head that is heavy enough to get it to the bottom and bounce it along bottom. Experiment until you see what speed the fish like best.

what size and pattern hook would you use with these and also what jigheads would you use?

Asked by: anthony72

I use regular jig heads and just enough weight to get me to the bottom. It depends on the depth of the water and current. I use anywhere from 1/8 ounce to 1 ounce
