Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Stank-Bug 3.5" Lure 8/Pack

Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Stank-Bug 3.5" Lure 8/Pack

The Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Stank-Bug 3.5" Lure 8/Pack imitates a small crawfish, one of the most common prey items for bass in lakes and rivers across Québec. Its compact body and easily activated claws produce a subtle kicking motion with moderate vibration during the retrieve, creating a natural defensive crawfish action. The bait sinks naturally and excels when fished on a Texas rig, jig head, or finesse presentation along rocky bottoms, weed edges, and structure where bass and walleye actively feed. Berkley’s MaxScent material releases an intense scent field in the water that attracts fish from farther distances while encouraging them to hold the bait longer after biting. This combination of scent dispersion, realistic movement, and compact profile makes it especially effective when fish are pressured or feeding selectively.
