Quick take
A 4-inch soft plastic creature with MaxScent attractant and realistic texture, designed to fool selective bass with finesse presentations or cover fishing.
The Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Creature Hawg is a 4-inch soft creature bait built for bass anglers who flip, pitch and punch into heavy cover. Its ribbed body is designed to release scent and to hide the hook point around snags. It suits anglers working wood, grass or rock who want a bait that carries the MaxScent line's scent into tight spots.
Best for
- Fishing heavy cover like docks and thick grass
- Pressured bass that ignore standard baits
- Anglers using flipping and pitching techniques
Skip if
- You need a worm or minnow shape
- You fish open water
Strengths
- MaxScent releases a super-charged scent field
- Ultra-realistic texture and matte colors trick discerning fish

Trade-offs

About this type

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
