Couldn't agree with you more Marley! I'm still blown away that power bait is used so much here.I'm used to live baits too and night crawlers are the best and most consistent bait I've ever used for any fish. However, when in rome... and at some of these places it just plane works. On this particular day something was up witht he fish and worms just didn't do the trick, so you do what you gotta do you know? haha, besides, i enjoy this stuff. If I'm going to use dough at all I'd rather is be something natural and this is a good way to do it. Thanks for pointing out what many people have forgotten..
If your too busy to go fishin; YOUR TOO BUSY!!!!!!
All we used to have was Zeke's and it was good! Then along came Power Bait and it seemed to be much better. I am not a huge fan of it but it's an easy thing to use and it really does work. My go-to bait is half a 'crawler (although the more I fish a straight mealworm the more I like it) but on the odd occasion that they're not biting ye olde garden hackle, I carry PB in original yellow, chartreuse and rainbow and I don't mind using it. I'd rather "cheat" than go home hungry.
Have you tried the Power Worms? They're actually pretty awesome once you get the wiggle down just right.
I have been told that the secret ingredient in a lot of floating baits is tiny glass bubbles (is that what a micro balloon is?)

Yeah thats what I'm finding out also. never heard of it before. very useful. Yeah, like Fish-o-haulic said, there are times when it's all tht works and it does work quite well. like you said also, I jsut don't like going home empty handed. At home I could walk down to the damn, get skunked and just be thankful for a great experience in nature, but around here I wanna make my $20 in gas worth the trip! lol :P
im going to give it a try! thanks for the recipe, ill let you know how it works.
This is the best write-up on this subject that I 've read. Thanks for the effort.
