Berkley PowerBait Ripple Shad

Berkley PowerBait Ripple Shad

Maximize your catch rate with the Berkley PowerBait Ripple Shad, a high-performance swimbait engineered for versatility and maximum attraction. Whether you are jigging for walleye, burning for bass, or slow-rolling for pike, the Ripple Shad’s unique design and scent technology make it a powerhouse in any tackle box.

Key Performance Features

• Exclusive PowerBait Formula: Infused with the legendary PowerBait scent and flavor, fish bite and hold on 18 times longer, giving you more time to feel the strike and set the hook.

• Ribbed Body Design: The distinct ripples along the body increase surface area, creating more scent dispersion and a unique vibration that fish can sense via their lateral lines.

• Large Paddle Tail: Features a high-action tail that delivers a lifelike swimming motion and a heavy "thump" at both slow and high retrieve speeds.

• Vibrant 3D Eyes and Finishes: Equipped with realistic 3D eyes and flash-enhancing scales to provide a visual trigger even in pressured or clear water conditions.

• Versatile Rigging: The sleek profile is perfect for use on a standard jig head, as a weighted swimbait, or as a high-action trailer for spinnerbaits and bladed jigs.

Specifications

• Lure Type: Soft Plastic Paddle Tail Swimbait

• Technology: Scent-Infused PowerBait Formula

• Target Species: Bass, Walleye, Pike, and Panfish

Pro Tip

For pressured walleye or smallmouth in clear water, try "bottom-bouncing" the Ripple Shad. Use a slightly heavier jig head to keep the lure in constant contact with the substrate. The ribbed body will kick up small puffs of silt, while the tail continues to vibrate on the fall, mimicking a feeding minnow and triggering instinctual reaction strikes.

Recommended Jig Head Sizes

Choosing the right weight is critical to maintaining the Ripple Shad's natural swimming action.

• 2" Ripple Shad: Best paired with 1/32 oz to 1/16 oz jig heads for a finesse presentation.

• 3" Ripple Shad: Most versatile on 1/8 oz to 1/4 oz jig heads; a 1/8 oz head is a "confidence" setup for many anglers.

• 4" Ripple Shad: Use 1/4 oz to 3/8 oz jig heads to handle the larger profile and reach deeper water.
