Have always used this power bait with good results. Have tried other brands but these are by far the best.I tried these crappie power baits for the first time last year. I don't like the $, mess, and inconvience of live bait (Canadian Nightcrawlers) so I gave these a try. I wasn't expecting them to be 'as good' as live bait, but I hoped they'd catch an occasional fish. OMG! The Bluegill and Crappie love these power baits. If anything, I think the numbers of fish I catch have actually increased using these nibbles. They travel well, they keep for the whole season (possibly longer), and take up very little space in my tackle bag. I came back for more this year!Work great!These work fine for fishing crappie and blue gill but they do tend to fall of the hook easily.Easy to bait the hook with so the grandkids can bait there own hook,,, BONUS!!Worked great on crappie & perch!Used as directed and did not catch any fish with the bait, I beat the crud out of the crappie with a jig but not the baits.It seemed when we used this by itself we caught nothing. Tipped bait with it and still nothing. Just used bait by itself and we catching fish like crazy. Just as an experiment we dropped 4 poles into the water where we knew there were fish and only the bait alone was getting bit. So save your money.
