Anatz Posted August 9, 2007 Report Posted August 9, 2007 Today I decided to pick up some pan fish bait and bought my self Berkley Power Honey Worms & Squirmin Squirt. Has anyone ever used these baits, if so, please tell me your experience. <--- in green
Anatz Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) I went fishing @ Little Lake, Barrie and I finally got to use my Berkley Power Honey Worms and I caught around 50 pan fishes which included sunfishes and perches within 30 minutes. This bait is worth the money and you don't have to change the bait. I never had to replace the honey worms and I think you could probably reuse it again in the future by putting it back into the jar. This beats worms. And also I caught 1 LM, but it was a small guy =] Edited August 20, 2007 by Anatz
pikehunter Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 From your report I would say that it works! Haven't tried it yet, saw it on the shelf at Trombly's in orillia last week and thought it was rather pricey since I haven't really read a report about it. I think the price was around 19 bucks? for the small and 50 for the large bucket? If it works then it's worth it!

wallyboss Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 Pikehunter , these are not the expensive ones. Anatz they're incredible for Panfish thru the ice also. I won't leave home without them when heading out for crappies.
bassmaster4 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 do you have to move them around somehow or do you chuck em out with a bobber or something
wallyboss Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 I've used them on jigs and i've used them under floats.
canadianguy33 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Posted August 20, 2007 I haven't used this exact type of powerbait, but I've found success with nearly all of the powerbaits I've used and I use them quite a lot over the years. Personally, I like the Berkley Gulp baits better because they're more like live bait and the fish can actually eat them. If I were trying to catch pan fish I'd use the 6" pumpkinseed nightcrawlers and cut them into thirds. Also, sometimes I'll save the baits if I've only used them for a couple of hours, but I never put them back in the bag/jar with the new ones. Even though I don't think panfish are particularly sensitive to smell, I just don't like the idea of possibly contaminating the new baits.
Anatz Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Posted August 21, 2007 thats true...lucky I didn't put it back. I used a float with it.
pikehunter Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 Pikehunter , these are not the expensive ones. Oh yeah.... Now that I have taken a second look at the picture I see that this is not the product I was thinking of. My mistake, thanks for pointing that out. Glad the honey worms and grubs worked for you Anatz.
