Great product

Advantages: Performs well
"Powerbait is my go-to bait when my lures aren't pulling their weight. This bait works well for trout, but I've also learned it's great for getting a nice stringer full of good-sized panfish. I prefer either Chartreuse or rainbow. I also like to sit the bait out without the lid on so it hardens and stays on my hook longer. My Uncle caught 33 trout in a single day using yellow Powerbait. Thumbs up to Berkley for another fantastic product."

"I bought most of my Powerbait in-store at Bass Pro and a couple of small buisnesses. I've heard that this catches trout like magic, however you will have to experiment with different colors and types. I spent around 40 bucks to find two bottles that work. When I did find the two I ran out in three days and had to replace them. Great buy, when you find the good colors. I found instead of rigging it to float, put two size14-10 treble hooks a foot apart with a bank sinker 8 inches from the lower hook and use different kinds of Powerbait."

Trout killer of a bait

,
June 15, 2010
By CatchX22XEmmitt
from So Cal & Texas
Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Quality, adheres to hook awesomely
Disadvantages: maybe just a little pricey for a small jar.
"As a long time Powerbait user, this is the best stuff out there bar-none. The fact that it'll stick to a size 16 or 18 gold treble hook better than most other baits including velveeta cheese is worth the price itself. No more seeing your bait fly one way while your rig goes another on the cast. Plus, I've had multiple cases where it stays on even after being nibbled on, then the fish comes back to engulf it all, resulting in a hookup! Lasts a long time and doesn't dry up as long as the lid is placed back on after each use."

"Powerbait trout dough is the best bait to use to put a limit of tasty fish on the stringer. Red or my favorite color sherbert are my top producing colors. Trout cannot resist this bait and absolutely slam it. Do you want to catch trout? Use this bait!!!!!"

Glitter Power Bait

December 5, 2008
By Anglerman23
from Missouri
"I don't need to say much about this product. It's exactly what I was hoping for. I purchased a jar of the rainbow color and the trout love it. I use a driftrig with small trebles size 16 and 14. If theres trout around you'll know. They won't let this go by. Stays on the hook really good. My problem is I need another jar or two soon(lol), especially knowing winters coming. I'm glad our lake never freezes. I'll be using this product all through the winter. Best doughbait that I know of. I recommend this to anyone."

"I had great results with this, instead of saying trout bait it should say every fresh water fish. I caught trout, catfish, bass, bluegill, sunfish, rock bass.and carp and turtles.If i would have stayed at the lake any longer who knows what i could have caught."

"I say pretty much any of the colors work, but you can fine tune your presentation based on the water color and time of year. I usually use lighter colors in dark stained water.
Just roll up a small chunk into a ball and stick it on your hook--then catch fish!"

Glitter Power!

,
July 18, 2007
By MaxZmus
from San Diego, CA
"With the growing success of Berkley's legendary Powerbait, the company has spawned a plethora of different colors and flavors to choose from. Of course I've tried them all and in the end I always go back to original yellow glitter, chartreuse glitter, and rainbow glitter. I've caught fish on all the other colors but as long as you have these three essential colors in your arsenal you can't go wrong. It's a good thing that there are an abundance of trout farms all over the world producing current and future stock or else Berkley's Powerbait would seriously have to be banned!"

It's the best

By MikeT
from Oklahoma
"I have used Berkley's power dough glitter bait for the last 3 years. It is the best bait possible for catching hatchery trout and even catfish. Use a small hook such as a #8 and position some small split shot about a foot above the hook. Cast it in to fast water and let it drift, then hang on. If lake fishing use a crappie rig with smaller hooks and a larger weight, and let it sit on the bottom. I particularly recommend the glitter orange, yellow, and green. What I like about this bait is that it stays on the hook and is difficult to "cast-off"."
