Quick take
Eight 5 inch soft plastic worms with a slow fall and PowerBait scent that attracts bass.
The 6 inch Blue Pearl Black Hologram is the largest size in the Berkley General line, sold five to a pack. It keeps the Senko-style stick profile, falls slowly with a wiggle, and carries MaxScent scent dispersion. The 6 inch size is recommended on an offset worm hook, not the finesse wide-gap hook used for the 4 and 5 inch sizes. Its finish is a blue pearl and black hologram, and its model number is PBMSTG6-BPBH.
Best for

Strengths

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.
