Quick take
Floating artificial salmon eggs with garlic scent that stays off bottom in the strike zone and disperse scent widely for trout and steelhead.
This Berkley Sparkle Power Eggs Floating Magnum comes as a half-ounce jar of soft egg bait in Fluorescent Orange with Scales, model FEFOSC. Its longer, floating profile rides up off the bottom where trout can see it, and the sparkle scales add flash. It works in both currents and lakes. It rigs on a small single hook or treble under a weight on the bottom. Choose it when you want one jar of this orange egg rather than a larger set-up.

Common questions
What size is the Berkley Sparkle Power Eggs Floating Magnum FEFOSC?
This bait comes as a 0.5 oz jar, a single jar per pack, so one jar gives you the egg in Fluorescent Orange with Scales. The egg is sized for a few rigs rather than a long session. Its model number is FEFOSC, which is the number to match when you search for this exact jar.
Is the Sparkle Power Eggs Floating Magnum good for trout in lakes?
Trout are the target species named for this bait, and its longer floating profile keeps the egg up off the bottom. The sparkle scales add flash, and the egg is fished in currents or in lakes. A small single hook or treble under a weight gives you the set-up for lake trout.
How do you rig the FEFOSC floating egg?
Rig the 0.5 oz floating egg on a small single hook or treble, with a weight on the bottom so the egg rides up off it. The longer profile and the sparkle scales make the egg visible in moving or still water. The orange color is the one this jar carries.
