BerkleyPowerBait Nessie Fishing Soft Bait

I needed something with an erratic action that looked life-like. There are many shad where I fish. It looks very realistic but I recommend using the lightest line you can get away with. I caught a bass on my 3rd cast. It holds up a little better than most soft swimbaits and did well. I'll definitely be getting another one.

I purchased a few different colors in the 5" and in the 7" and the action on them is perfect. A great introduction to soft swim baits at a very reasonable price.Weather you are reeling it super slow, intermittent pulses or a mild retrieve, the action looks like a reel fish (especially when it sinks slowly). Its amazing the action you get with an introductory soft swim bait like this.The 5" you can use on any rod that handles 2/5 of an ounce, which is almost any bass rod. The 7" is an ounce, which can be used on Moderate Heavy rod (standard Bass rod) to Heavy rods. I cast both on Braid (20 or 30lb. test line) with a Fluorocarbon leader with no issues.When the Bass inhale and chomp down on this swim bait, you know it and you are really hooked in. I have not had a Bass spit this out yet.

great looking, excellent action, now just need a fish to hit it.

Absolutely wonderful product by Berkeley definitely going to be purchasing more in different color combos

You might as well not have a broken or sectional crank bait because this one does not move independently at all

Caught the only fish the first time I tried it. Works great if twitched like a fluke, which I expected, but it also has surprisingly good action on a straight crank.

Seems like the action is good but the 5” version is too light to cast well even with a spinning rod. I would try the 7” or 9” version.

Action on the 5-in is weird; it never does what you want. Fortunately, the fish don't seem to care at all. I use it in the salt for backwater snook and tarpon, and the hook started to rust pretty quickly, and it ripped in half after 4 fish, but they're so cheap who cares? The hook is sticky sharp, and it separates from the bait which makes it hard for the fish to spit—caught a total of 1 snook and 3 poons. buy it

Service, action has been great
