I've never had much luck with it.  A small spoon usually out fishes it 5 to 1.
 

There are some folks that shape there power bait into a spoon shape.
Fish power bait like a spoon , don't fish on the bottom.
I tried it , didn't work for me. But I have heard about it.

Don't fish for trout much anymore, but when I was younger, we would troll using this method all the time.  Was extremely effective for us and was a fun way to fish as well, since they would either slam it, or they would chew on it and you would have to wait for the rod to load before setting the hook.

Longer lighter leader often seems best. Slip sinker for sure. About a  #6 if using a single hook. Add a marshmallow or corkie if you need more floatation. A guy I knew swore by rolling the bait in extra glitter - claimed it would gradually fall off and attract fish. I've done it and caught fish, but hard to say if it was a difference maker.
Charlie Kirk didn't speak hate, they hated what he said. Don't get it twisted.

 :yeah:
A garlic marshmallow below the bait on a slip sinker rig with about 30" of leader was our setup when we had to use soak baits
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

In November U.S. manufacturing contracted for the the ninth consecutive month. Layoffs across the economy are higher than anytime since the pandemic in 2020 and I just read that the Midwest farmers will be receiving a 12B bailout due to 50 year trade relationships being destroyed. I have to admit that I was a sceptic and didn't believe in the effectiveness in tariffs but I'm a believer now.

Bumble bee!!! is my go to, then Nymph, pink and orange about the same... I really like the power eggs in orange, pink, white... Never did much with the yellow... If they're hitting those it's a deadly combo... Put two on a #4  Gamakatsu red egg hook with 18" leader and a sliding sinker... Bonus is they stay on the line and are very reusable... Caught many a limit on two power eggs... They don't just fall off cause of weeds or a missed hook up...
I love you... I really do...

2 anchors from a boat worked best with Power bait for me.Keep the boat still,keep the line still and wait for it to start ripping out.

Did find a garlic flavor,and another jar of cheese.
I've been having good luck with cheese flavor.
I might have to order corn flavor online , can't find in store.
Bought the last cheese at my Walmart,had to look through all the jars to find it.

That garlic ,never tried it. Pretty excited,but I've been fishing past couple weekends.
So it might be awhile before I go again.
