Overview

Designed in collaboration with Elite Series angler Mike Iaconelli, the Berkley Powerbait Nessie Soft Glide Bait is an innovative soft-bodied glide bait built with a reinforced mesh joint that provides durability while allowing for free range of motion. Fitted with a brush-style tail to mimic the natural movement of baitfish, the Nessie Soft Glide Bait has a slow-sinking rate-of-fall, upright horizontal posture, and stabilizing belly fins to encourage consistent S-shaped swim action. Featuring a patent-pending hook retention clip to keep the treble hook secured to the body, each glide bait is armed with a razor-sharp Berkley Fusion19 treble hook to deliver rapid hook penetration and ensure your success with large predators.

Infused with Berkley’s famous Powerbait formula, the exclusive scent is integrated directly into the plastic to make fish bite, hold on 18x longer, and give you more time to deliver a confident hookset. Taking an advanced technique and opening the doors for entry-level anglers, the Berkley Powerbait Nessie simultaneously unlocks new uses for experienced glide bait anglers with its unique ability to be skipped under docks and overhanging cover. Available in a variety of custom-painted forage-matching color patterns, the Berkley Powerbait Nessie Soft Glide Bait allows anglers to confidently cast into tight spaces where traditional glide baits have been previously unable to reach.

WorthlessAbsolutely zero action on the 5 inch all hype. For the price it’s a total waste of money I’d give the 7 and 9 inch a try to see if it’s better but not wasting money on a hope a u tube hype and bull rip off bait

Great BaitI got the 7 inch in Albino and it's awesome, if you want it to sink a little faster put nail weights in from the bottom and make sure they go in straight dead center also for everyone having hook up problems take a piece of 50 to 65 lb braid and run a trailer treble to the lower half of the body just tie it to the existing swivel and leave room so it doesn't impede the action, just wanted to put that out there to help!

Great actionI bought three of the 7 inch Nessie glide baits in small tackle shop in Kentucky. I talked to the owner of the store about this particular bait for 10 or so minutes. He told me that for the money they are amazing baits and that they work well during pre spawn and spawn. When I got home, I paired this lure with my Shimano SLX XT 8:3:1 reel and my 7'3 Dobyns Fury Mag Heavy rod and I absolutely love it. I went out and started working on various retrieves and found one that worked for me. I ended up catching two fish on this glide bait and let me tell you, for a late winter day, those fish hammered that bait. I've seen a lot of people talk about the poor hook up ratio, but what I did was let the fish swim with it before setting the hook. The only issue I have with the Nessie is that it hardly sinks fast enough. I plan on throwing some nail weights in one to see if that helps improve the depth, but also the movement of the bait in the water.

Cool Bait but FlawedPurchased the 9” & 7”. I was excited to field test both baits. I was expecting a soft bodied jointed bait with a wide glide on retrieve. However, this bait is more of a tight action on straight retrieve and very erratic on a jerk/pause. I get the best action on a slow retrieve. The biggest flaw is hook up. I’ve felt big bumps, boils on the bait but no hook up. For some reason this bait just doesn’t hook the fish. It’s baffling. Otherwise I recommend, just might have to modify it further out of the box.

The 5 inch is fine and the action is thereOkay I saw a review on the 5 inch not having any action it has a ton! With the proper line and set up it should perform just as advertised. I use it on my BFS setup light power fast action 8lbs fluorocarbon. On a straight retrieve it moved erratic and was consistent. Give it a try with the proper set up on most baits they will perform as advertised.

Poor hookup ratioGreat action on the 9inch and it gets bit, however the hard plastic fins in the front seem to get in the way of actually hooking fish. I went 7 misses to two fish hooked last outing. I had fish crush it, miss the hooks and then bite and miss the hooks again. I think if the fins weren't hard plastic this bait would be a 5/5. I still recommend it since it swims great and gets the attention of fish.

Forget the 5” modelI have to agree with the others, the 5” model does not swim that well and can only be fished like a slow fluke. The 7” and 9” models appear to be better but fighting the fish with just the treble hook below appears to be tricky. Options for a top stinger hook might improve hookup ratios.

Incredible Drawing PowerThe 9" Nessie Trout glide is the first truly big bait I've ever owned. First day fishing it I caught 7 fish in an hour. None of them were under 2 lbs and big fish was 6 lbs. Needless to say, I'm hooked on the glide bait!

Great Soft Glide Bait!!The Nessie gets bit! I love how you can almost walk the bait in place, the action is so enticing and bass absolutely annihilate this thing! The 9” has a great S action, the 7” looks great when chopping the handle. The 5” requires more subtle twitches but is the perfect size for pond bass. Can’t beat the price either!!

great innovation + actionI have all three sizes and they all have fantastic action on straight retrieve and (especially) when "chopping". I absolutely love the innovative hook attachment - tucked under belly - so it NEVER snags the line! Very important for a bait that easily does 180 turns.

No ActionBought 5 inch and no action at all when reeled in. Tried every way possible to get it to glide but not success.

No action at all - do not buy the 5" modelI'm hoping this only applies to the 5" model due to its short size, but the one I tried had zero action whatsoever. Before tying it on I watched a few YouTube videos of people using it, and it is supposed to have a gentle, enticing "s" motion when retrieved slowly. It even zig-zags when retrieved at a high speed. My bait did neither of those two things - when I reeled it in it just tracked back in a straight line, with no side to side action at all.
