Quick take
Soft plastic wiggling worms infused with Berkley's PowerBait scent and flavor formula for panfish.
The Berkley PowerBait Power Wigglers in Red Wiggler are plastic soft baits meant for panfish such as crappie, perch and bluegill. They need no refrigeration, so they are simple to carry in a tackle box for a day on the water. Rig one as you would live bait on a spinning setup, which is the technique the bait is made for.
Best for
- Crappie and bluegill on a light jig head
- Float rigs under a bobber in ponds and small lakes
- Drop-shot presentations for deep panfish structure
Skip if
- You catch mostly catfish or bass
- You prefer live bait authenticity over ease of storage
Strengths
- PowerBait scent attracts and encourages long holding times
- Soft plastic body wiggles enticingly on a slow retrieve
- Easy to store indefinitely compared to live worms
Trade-offs
- PowerBait formula scent is artificial and not always effective
- Plastic body lacks the subtle natural movements of live bait
- Red color attracts aggressive chasing but not always bite-taking bites
