Quick take
A three-inch soft plastic mouse bait with PowerBait scent, designed for trout and panfish under a float.
Fluorescent Red/Chartreuse is the bright colorway of this 3-inch floating soft bait, sold in a pack of 13. Its ball head carries the hook and a two-tone tail trails behind it, a shape meant to copy the Power Mouse rig for trout. The floating body keeps the bait riding above the bottom in the water column. Its red and chartreuse pattern sets it apart from the glow and white-and-bubblegum options in this family. Each pack gives you 13 baits to rig on trout outings.
Best for
- Trout in streams and small ponds
- Panfish and crappie in shallow water

- You prefer larger baits for bigger fish
Strengths
- Lightweight floating body is easy to suspend under a float at specific depths

Common questions
What size is the Berkley PowerBait Floating Mice Tails in Fluorescent Red/Chartreuse?
This colorway measures 3 inches long, and each pack holds 13 pieces. The bait floats, which keeps it riding above the bottom on a trout rig, so one pack gives you many casts before you need a replacement.
Which fish is the Fluorescent Red/Chartreuse Floating Mice Tails made for?
The 3-inch Fluorescent Red/Chartreuse bait is aimed at trout. Its floating body keeps it above the bottom, and its ball head with a trailing tail copies the shape of the Power Mouse rig. Each 13-piece pack covers several trout sessions in this colorway.
Is the Fluorescent Red/Chartreuse Floating Mice Tails a floating bait?
Yes. The 3-inch Fluorescent Red/Chartreuse bait is listed as floating, so it rides up off the bottom rather than sinking. Its ball head holds the hook while the tail trails behind, and the red and chartreuse two-tone pattern sets the head and tail apart in color.
What is in a pack of Berkley PowerBait Floating Mice Tails Fluorescent Red/Chartreuse?
The pack holds 13 soft baits, all in the Fluorescent Red/Chartreuse colorway and each 3 inches long. Every bait has its own ball head and trailing tail, so the pack covers many rigs over a trip.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
