Quick take
A thick-bodied soft plastic trailer designed to move in response to bladed jig vibration for bass fishing.
The Berkley PowerStinger in Swamp Gas is built for bladed vibrating jigs, and its honeycomb body carries the jig's vibration down the trailer. A solid head and a thick baitfish profile give the 3 1/2 inch bait a full look, while back and belly slots suit several rigging styles. It suits bass anglers who fish bladed jigs and want a trailer that moves with the jig.
