Let's talk PowerBait

[bassnblues]

I personally have not had much success with it. What's everyone's favorite color and type? How do you rig it? Also, what's the shelf life? I have a jar from about 2 years ago, should I chuck t?

[Matt A.]

its probably still good, it's awesome for rainbows though i find it less effective for brooks and browns. i do best on pink and chartreuse.

A.k.a., power cheese.

i am a fan of pink and chartreuse paste. the jar of paste allows you to make your own size ball to match your hook size. I feel you get short changed with the nuggets.

i use a #10 bait holder and just enough (2/3) small split shots to keep it on the bottom.

ill bounce it along the bottom and methodically fish a spot until i figure out how they want it.

Not a big fan. Only ever did good with it at burnham park ponds. Now adays the only think catching there are those damn black loons

I do catch them using rainbow, chartreuse, orange and garlic scented. But the bigger rainbows, 5-6lbs, have all been caught on phoebes and spinners.
