Poke Holes
Another method is to poke holes in them with a
needle and dunk them in a bottle of fish attractant. This will allow the soft baits to soak up the
fish attractant and hold on to it longer, slowly
seeping out while the soft bait swims underwater.

Note that Berkley Powerbaits come with scent
built into the body. In the water these baits release very little scent until a fish decides to bite
into them of which punctures the bait releasing
more scent into the fishes mouth making it hold
on longer giving the angler enough time to set
the hook.

Knowing this allows you to manipulate your
Powerbaits. You have the option of puncturing
them making small holes with a needle before
you fish them. This allows the scent inside of
the Powerbait’s body to be release the moment
it touches water.
