Quick take
Classic ribbon-tail worm with Berkley's taste-enhanced PowerBait formula for freshwater bass and panfish.
This is a 7-inch curly-tail soft plastic worm from Berkley's PowerBait line, in a Motor Oil Red Fleck color. The pack holds 13 worms, enough to rig several for a day on the water. A ribbon-tail worm like this suits Texas rigs, Carolina rigs and shaky-head jigheads for bass.
Best for
- Texas rigs and Carolina rigs
- Spring and summer bass fishing
- Dragging behind shaky head jigs
Skip if
- You fish saltwater; these dissolve quickly in salt
- You need ultra-finesse presentations; use smaller worms
Strengths
- PowerBait coating holds bites longer than plain plastic
- Ribbon tail creates action on both active and slow retrieves
- Four size options for matching conditions
Trade-offs
- Taste coating can dissolve in saltwater
- Bulk plastic makes Texas rigging heavier than needed for light line
- Weedless rigging can be difficult without protection
