Berkley PowerBait Nessie Softbait 12cm 11g Gold Shad

Berkley PowerBait Nessie 12cm — Soft Glide Bait for Every Angler

The Berkley Nessie takes the advanced glide-bait technique and makes it accessible: skip it, slide it, and cast it into spots where traditional hardbaits can't reach.

Soft Body with PowerBait Scent

Unlike rigid glide baits, the Nessie's soft construction lets you work shallow cover, laydowns, and docks without snagging or damaging the lure. The mesh-reinforced joint keeps the body articulated through countless casts, while the PowerBait flavor encourages fish to hold on longer.

Consistent Glide Action Out of the Box

Stabilizing fins keep the lure tracking true on every retrieve, whether you're twitching it slowly or burning it sub-surface. The patent-pending hook retention clip secures the Fusion19 treble hook flush against the body, preventing tangles and ensuring the hook deploys cleanly on the strike.

Choose the Right Variant

The Nessie system covers everything from finesse presentations to big-bait hunting:

• 12 cm / 11 g (treble hook, Fusion19) — perch, chub, and smaller pike in canals, rivers, and shallow reservoirs; pair with light casting or spinning tackle

• 17 cm / 28 g (treble hook, Fusion19) — medium pike, zander, and black bass in open water and around structure; all-round glide bait for medium-heavy rods

• 22 cm / 57 g (single hooks, 1/0 front / 1 back) — trophy pike and big zander; heavy casting gear for deep water and weed edges
