how to fish the new Berkley PowerBait Realistix Sinking Minnow?
I went fishing a couple of days ago with a new Berkley PowerBait Realistix Sinking Minnow i was retrieving it like a regular jig and jig head and caught nothing, is there another way to fish these swim baits? Help ASAP. Thanks
I love this lure and have caught LM Bass, SM Bass, walleye, steelhead and even crappies with it. First off understand that one lure will not always catch fish every time it’s used and it takes some experimenting to attract fish with this or any other lure. .
I'll cast it out and let it sink to the bottom, wait a few seconds, then twitch the rod tip a couple of times, reel in the slack and repeat. Some times I’ll cast it out, jig it, let it settle to the bottom then crank the reel in fast a few turns to make it look like a startled bait fish. Some times I cast it out and just reel it back in. During a spawn if you jig it off the bottom it will look like a fish raiding spawning beds which will trigger a strike it. Most of my retrieves I try to make it look like an injured or struggling bait fish to make it look like an easy meal. I have also painted the lead head chartreuse green, orange, red or even all black with big white eyes. I think some times it makes the difference.
Basically you have to use different retrieves until you find one that makes fish react to it . Keep changing the retrieves and don’t give up on this lure. It will catch you fish.
