Quick take

Soft plastic worms with a ribbon tail and PowerBait scent formula that increase bite retention through taste.

Best for

  • Texas rigs on jigheads for bass
  • Carolina rigs with split shot and leader
  • Panfish and smaller bass in weedy areas

Skip if

  • You fish only topwater lures
  • You prefer unscented soft plastics

Strengths

  • PowerBait formula increases bite retention by up to 18 times
  • Ribbon tail creates natural action on slow retrieves
  • Green pumpkin color matches natural forage in many waters

Trade-offs

  • PowerBait scent washes off over time in the water
  • Soft plastic degrades with UV exposure and heat
  • Cannot be used with barbless hooks due to soft plastic splitting

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.
