Product reviews of Berkley PowerBait Catfish Bait Chunks

Cara : Eeeh.

These do not stay on the hook very well. They were quite dry when we got them.

Steven Hartley : Fish Go crazy for this stuff - But it won't stay on the hook long enough to cast!

I bought several Catfish Baits, including this one, and tested them by placing a different bait on each of four rods and casting them a few yards apart in the same freshwater bay. These tests lasted five hours a day, every day for a week... From 7:00 pm until Midnight....

I hooked into the largest freshwater fish of my life using this bait.... It burned off every inch of line in seconds: my drag was screaming, and then it snapped my 20 lbs test line like it was kite string.... I'm guessing it was a four foot channel cat: topping 40 lbs. All I caught was a glimpse of its massive head: as it rolled in the water and turned for the deep waters of the reservoir.

Catfish go crazy for the stink of this stuff... But it is impossible to get it to stay on the hook long enough to cast your line... I finally gave up and started putting the bait inside tiny mesh bags (I made by cutting up some mosquitoes netting). This kept the bait together, prevented small fish from stripping the bait, and made a sizable mouthful: eliminating all but the trophy size Catfish from taking the hook...

I don't understand why manufacturers don't sell this stuff in tiny mesh bags to begin with.... Just hook the bag and cast....

Now I can bait up once, when I first arrive, and know I can let it sit in the channel until another 40 ponder comes along and smells the bait....

Rodney Babbs : Staying on the hook

Didn't stay on the hook

Big Daddy : Catches catfish

This stuff is catfish gold. I put in amazon 1" finger gauze and tie it off. It will last 3-4 days. Add punch bait...full trot lines. It is slightly more effective that traditional cheaper stuff... But.. I like it.

Matt S : It works

Caught a 27” 8lb channel cat on my first day using the bait.

gail murray : Doesn't stay on hook

Seems to dissolve in the water.

William Cobb : Does the job!

I've been using Suxxxn Imxxxt for years up until last year when the formula must have bee changed and the stuff got so soft and runny that it wouldn't stay on a treble hook for more than a couple of minutes. I decided to try this out based on reviews. 2 evenings in a row this nailed these 2 guys with some smaller ones caught as well. Perhaps it was just a lucky couple of days, but I live on a lake and fish several times a week mostly just off my dock. Molding this onto a small treble hook seems to allow it to stay on quite well and rather than fishing with a simple bobber and the bait 20" or so below the surface I now just let this go to the bottom..( about 8 feet at the end of the dock) with nothing else added...no float or sinker. When I see my line moving left or right I know I have one....it's that simple. Perhaps this isn't the absolute best bait around, but at this time after not catching much in the past month I'm quite pleased with it. I just ordered more!

Walter Quintero : ????

Good to catch catfish

J. T. : Will not stay on hooks.

This product is extremely dry out of the package. I tried soaking it a bit in lake water hoping it would become more dough-like which it did slightly. But it still wouldn’t stay on the hook. Give it a pass.

Michael Bowman : Hard to keep on hook

It doesn't hold well to a hook, or a ball of wire.

J. T. : Will not stay on hooks.

ATexU : Four Stars

Haven't caught anything with it yet.

Daryl O. : Unusable

Advertised as “chunks”, but when I received it, it looked like and had the consistency of brown sugar. Would not reconstitute into said “chunks” so I ended up trashing it! Not a great deal of money wasted, but wasted nonetheless.

J. T. : Will not stay on hooks.

Daryl O. : Unusable

Jerry l england : My new bait.

This is all I used this year and caught alot of catfish. It was nice knowing I was luring in the big cats and not all the bluegill or other species that like worms or livers. This bait smells better then they do.

gail murray : Doesn't stay on hook
