Pressured fish eat themOn the Susquehanna below the dam they will eat the 4 inch when they run from a senko. And don't seem to want anything else.

Comments: Love these worms! Using them wacky style to slay Minnesota largemouth and smallies! Everything will hit them. More durable than the Yamamoto and Yum. My go-to wacky worm brand.
From: Dave: Greenfield, IN 7/27/23
Comments: One of my favorite baits in my favorite color. The whole ike series is great. And the variety of sizes are great.
From: Rollin: Bardstown ky 7/11/23
Comments: Honestly best worm you can buy my favorite color for all applications I buy probably 20 packs or more a year.
From: Colton: Colchester, ct 06415 3/15/23
Comments: Have one tied on for lakes and rivers. Wacky and straight. Love the 5 inch.
From: Chris: Follansbee, West Virginia 1/26/23
Comments: In ponds that get a lot of fishing pressure the 4.25" is the bait you want to have either texas or wacky rigged. A Berkley rep recommended poking the worm with your hook a dozen or so times all over before rigging it and I've had great success with these ever since. He said it softens up the worm some and helps the fish taste/smell your bait better when they're close to it and after they bite it.

Comments: To see what the colors really look like go to the Berkley main site. Caramel apple and grimace colors are accurate on Berkley. I wish they looked like what they do here on tackle warehouse. Haven't got to fish with them yet so if they catch me fish it's all good.

Comments: I received my Berkeley general power worms and the very next week I put one on a Berkeley half head jig and the second cast I hooked up with a pound and quarter large mouth and caught several on the bait the rest of the evening. Great product I highly recommend it when it's tough conditions. Oh by the way I was fishing post cold front. Thanks to Hank Parker who featured the bait on one of his shows.

Comments: As with Berkley Powerbait products I have used in the past the General Worm lives up to and exceeds expectations. I feel the flavor / scent is an advantage that results in a better bite to hook up ration. And added benefit is the durability of this bait. It will last through several fish before wearing to the point that it needs replaced. Great cost benefit for the fishermen.

Comments: Highly productive bait that is even better with Powerbait scent. Love these when the bite is tough. Very versatile and can be rigged in multiple ways. I even use my old ones cut down for Ned rigs and catch even more bass.
From: Gary: Newark, Ohio 10/12/21
Comments: I use the General as my Go To in the Hot Summer in North Alabama. It works well on a Weedless Wacky Worm hook. I use a crossed -O Rings in the center of the Worm place the hook thru both sides where the X is on the Cross (overlaped) O rings. The worm has great impregnated scent-if they hit it will not let go. Sometimes rig NED style with nail weight at end of worm. The General is always with me in my Old Town Predator Motorized Kayak.

Comments: Excellent bait for flipping on highly pressure lakes and it will catch the big ones too.
From: Unknown: 7/15/21
Comments: Itâs no secret the general is one of the best baits to get pressured bass to bite. The versatility is hard to beat, from shaky head to a wacky rig. It is a definitely must have in the boat
From: Luke: Dover, TN 7/7/21
Comments: Caught my PB Largemouth (7.6lbs). I highly recommend them.
From: Anthony: Santa Rosa, CA 6/29/21
Comments: Fish tend to hold on longer than with other stick baits. Casts well. Not as durable as the Yum Dinger.
From: Paul: Clearwater, FL 6/18/21
Comments: Quality stick bait that I go to when not fishing weightless. Better durability than the Senko.
From: Jake: 5/9/21
Comments: Weightless Texas-rigged green pumpkin candy. It is only matched by a 297 Yamamoto for my confidence bait. I never have less than several bags.
From: Blaine: Hanover, MI 12/14/20
Comments: They catch bass. Good price and excellent quality
From: Larry: 11/1/20
Comments: Awesome bait. One of my go to baits.
From:Timothy: Lumberton 6/20/19
Comments:Bought the 6.25" Morning Dawn and found out quickly the plastic is pretty brittle. I even used an Eagle Claw Wacky Rig Harness(they're great) and the bait started splitting after the 5th or 6th cast. I'll stick to the Gambler Ace for now.
From:Unknown: Santa Rosa, CA 6/11/19
Comments:Great scented Bait, but one warning trying to use an O-ring. :)many of you may have already found this out. If you put a tight O-ring on this worm it will eat through it and break in half after a few minutes of fishing.Obviously based on the way it is made with all of the scent.I was using it as a Neko Rig last Saturday when this happened. I was all excited do use it,and that's what happened. LOLlesson learned. Next time I will probably just not use the O-ring, because I know this is an awesome bait Tx rig weightless too.
