New craw profile soft baits for flipping, pitching and buzzing grass

Anglers will get to see the new Berkley Powerbait shapes for bass fishing for 2012 at the Bassmaster Classic in Shreveport, La. in just a few short weeks. The prominent fishing tackle manufacture is bringing new Havoc Soft Plastics shapes out as well as two new PowerBait shapes called the Power Claw and the Thief. 



The Power Claw is actually in the class with soft plastic toads. It's bullet shape and wide claws give it a unique tail kick and buzz and make it a great new addition for buzzing over the top of grass, matted vegetation and other forms of cover with lightly weighted or weightless hooks. We suspect it could also be a good jig stroking trailer as well because of its unique shape.



The Thief will fall in the punching category of soft baits. It features the the standard diamond shape of beaver-type flipping baits with two claw flappers and two extra antennae arms with bulbous ends that should give the shape a lot of action. It comes in some great looking colors from what we've seen too. 

We'll have more on these baits at their release at the 2012 Classic. You can check them out now at the Berkley-fishing.com website.
