BERKLEY® POWERBAIT® 3- AND 4- INCH RIPPLE SHAD
Segmented Sides Provide Unique Swim Action

The new PowerBait® Ripple Shad takes jig trailers to a new level. The solid body bait, available in 3-inch and 4-inch versions, has an oversized action tail and when combined with the segmented body, creates more bait vibration in the water with a powerful swimming action.

The ribbed sides increase the surface area on the bait for better dispersion of the PowerBait scent. Oversized red eyes and lifelike body and color detail adds to the bait’s attraction.

To rig, simply thread the 3-inch Ripple Shad onto a 1/8 to 1/4-ounce darter or ball jig head with a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. Be sure the bait is rigged straight for optimum swimming action. For the 4-inch bait, use a slightly heavier jig head with a 3/0 or 4/0 hook.

Colors for the Ripple Shad include Firetiger, Glow/Chartreuse, Green Back Pearl, New Penny, Pearl White, Rainbow Trout, Smelt and Strawberry White. A package of 10 (3-inch) or 5 (4-inch) baits has an MSRP of $4.89.
 

BERKLEY® POWERBAIT® 4 3/4 SLIM SHAKY WORM
Finesse Fishing At Its Best

It doesn’t matter if you are fishing in a tournament or trying to out fish your buddy, when fishing gets tough anglers reach for finesse tackle. PowerBait® 4 3/4 Slim Shaky Worms will entice more bites, giving you the winning edge when it counts most.

Tying on a drop-shot rig is one of the most preferred ways to fish the Slim Shaky Worm. With a drop-shot weight, size of weight depends on current, rig the Slim Shaky worm to desired depth. To fish the drop shot throw out and slowly drag along the bottom.

Another popular technique for the Slim Shaky worm is the shaky head. Rig up the Slim Shaky on a light shaky head jig, cast out around cover and bounce and drag back to your location.

A uniquely designed tail creates slightly more vibration during “the shake”, attracting more fish. Baits are packaged with PowerBait scent and flavor, which fish bite and won’t let go.

With exclusive PowerBait scent and flavor, fish hold on 18 times longer for more positive hook sets. Slim Shaky Worms are available in eight different pro-selected colors, Baby Bass, Blue Fleck, Green Pumpkin, Purple, Pumpkinseed, Watermelon, Watermelon Big Red and Watermelon Candy.

Tough fishing conditions are no match for the Slim Shaky Worm that combines life-like swimming action and irresistible scent. The Berkley PowerBait 4 3/4 Slim Shaky Worm is $3.99 per package of twelve.
 

 

 

BERKLEY® FLICKER SHAD REINTRODUCED
Revamped and Revived Flicker Shad


With all the fish-specific baits hitting the markets, Berkley is bringing back the Flicker Shad, a bait that especially targets walleye and bass. Designed with internal weight transfer for bullet-like precision casts and a unique swimming action to mimic a fleeing baitfish, the Flicker Shad will be the go-to bait for cranking presentations.

When Berkley first introduced the Berkley Flicker Shad, anglers wanted more colors from the great action hardbait. With some design help from our pro team and advanced engineering in the lab the new Berkley Flicker Shad is now available. Not only are a dozen new colors launched, the bait features Mustad Ultra Point Hooks for deep penetrating hook sets.

“Crankbaits are always the way to go when fish are suspended and we wanted a bait to supplement our Gulp! And PowerBait presentations,” said Berkley Walleye Pro Gary Parsons. “The Berkley Flicker Shad were designed to provide an erratic action through the water that catches the fish’s attention.”

“I agree with Gary. The Flicker Shad has a great look during the retrieve,” added Berkley Bass Pro Jay Yelas. “And each bait is individually tested to make sure it runs true right out of the package. Plus those Mustad treble hooks are an ideal match for the Flicker Shad.”

Floating Flicker Shads are available in 5 cm and 7 cm lengths and 12 fish-attracting colors including Black Gold, Black Gold Sunset, Black Silver, Blue Tiger, Chartreuse Pearl, Chrome Clown, Firetiger, Pearl White, Purple Tiger, Rainbow Spectrum, Red Tiger and Shad.

The 5-cm (2-inch) version has a retrieve depth in the range of 9 to 11 feet. The 7-cm (2.75-inch) bait has a typical depth on retrieve of 11 to 13 feet.

Look for the Berkley Flicker Shad in new packaging with an MSRP of $4.49.
