Berkley Powerbait Gilly Fishing Soft Bait

I fished this weightless with a 3/0 twist lock Owner hook. Action is erratic when jerked and when swum towards you it looks very realistic. Stop and go retrieve really gets the tail going and an unpredictable fall.Does not sink very fast so would consider maybe a Carolina rig for deeper water, but fishing this on pads and in weeds it hammered them today.Negatives would have to be durability. It’s great when inhaled, but the tail is very prone to ripping off if it’s short struck. Also wish it were a littttttle less buoyant, I don’t want to add a weight but it sinks SO slow.Overall a really good bait. Durability, therefore price is the biggest issue, since I can’t just buy 100 like with trick worms or whatever.

Once you find your way of rigging these they really do work great. I personally put them on a skirtless chatterbait, superglue them on.One of the most effective lures I have thrown in years. The hook will rip the mouth out easy so the superglue is absolutly reccomended.But the realistic bluegill color is amazing, and the bait as a whole is durable. I'd reccomend these to anyone, if they want to catch a keeper. I use the 130mm on a Zman eye strike 5/0. Swims and looks like the real thing!!!! 10/10!!!

Can be tricking rigging them l. Watched many videos on how to rig them to swim properly. Still trying different ways

I have not used it at the lake yet. What I did was rig it, and cast it into the pool and retrieved it. It swims like a little fish, I should catch something with it.

I love how realistic this plastic looks unfortunately I found it difficult to dial in and get to swim straight. I was able to get it dialed but wasted 3 swim baits in the process. The plastic is delicate and the lip rips to easily so if not done perfect with correct size hook you can find yourself wasting a lot of time getting this thing rigged. 3/32 nail weight angled towards the gut with a 2/0 - 3/0 ran horizontal from the lip trying not to rip the lip or place the hook to far back to ruin the action

I have caught 4 bass so far on this bait. Using this on a drop shot with a 1/0 Hook through the nose but have recently started hooking it through the nose flat so the bait appears to be dying.

Texas or Carolina rig

Very realistic looking bait. Not sure if it'll catch fish but it caught a fisherman already.

When I got it I hooked it up and went fishing I was not disappointed 5 bass all around 1-2 pounds great bait would recommend

It looks just like a *Dying* bluegill, the fish love it and you can even Texas rig it to make it weedless, the only issue is that they get ripped up really easily.

Haven’t had them out and tried them yet but they look good so I hope the fish think so too.
