Forward-Facing Sonar Optimized – Berkley Power Switch
Eugene L. 01.19.24
The Berkley Fishing Powerbait Power Switch is the first soft plastic bait purpose-made for forward-facing sonar optimization. Made to be the “switch” that anglers need to swap up their technique and methods in real-time on the water. When using forward-facing sonar you have a limited time window to present and entice the fish to strike. You have maybe a few casts where you can see the fish and get the lure in front of them. Because of that Anglers need a lure that can be quickly and precisely placed in front of their target. That is what the PowerBait Power Switch is for, it is designed for precise casts, and quick descents through the water column. The weight-forward design lets it cut through the water straight, the head design also works in the opposite and allows anglers to “hover” the lure in front or above their target fish. The Power Switch can be flicked, strolled, or popped side to side with a flick of the wrist. The Power Switch is also made of PowerBait so it is loaded with scent and flavor so when a fish bites, they will hold on longer. The Power Switch comes prerigged with a sticky sharp Fusion19 hook and is available in 6 sizes, and a plethora of patterns.
“The Berkley PowerBait Power Switch is one of the first baits that incorporates several different actions and techniques into one bait,” said Berkley’s Project Engineer of Bait, Kyle Peterson. “This bait can sink fast, hover at the angler’s desired water column, with each action working together in one profile. It gives anglers everything they need to best interact with fish, especially when paired with forward-facing sonar.”
