Featuring the classic Pumpkinseed hue, this 7-inch (17.5 cm) Berkley Powerbait Power Worm represents a staple in American soft plastic design. The translucent brownish body is densely packed with fine black and orange-red flakes, effectively mimicking natural forage in clear to stained water. A ribbed texture runs the length of the body, leading to a thin, oversized curly tail designed for consistent movement during a slow retrieve or on the fall.
Identified by product code 9661, these worms carry the famous PowerBait scent formula, which the vintage packaging notes allows fish to hold on 18X longer than standard plastics. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining the supple texture and vibrant flake distribution expected from a US-made Berkley product. The packaging highlights its origin in Spirit Lake, Iowa, a detail often sought after by collectors of early soft baits. At 7 inches (17.5 cm) in length, it remains a versatile choice for Texas or Carolina rigging, particularly when targeting largemouth bass in deep cover.
