I have not noticed them to catch anymore fish or for fish to hold them any longer than the Zoom worms honestly.
Or any other worm for that matter.

I've used them since they came out many years ago. I think the formula changed slightly but they still work as advertised. I was pre-fishing Belton in 93 or 94 and got in an area loaded with fish. I bent the barb off the hook and used a Black/Blue craw. You literally had to pull it away from them, they would not spit it out!

Only three Berkley baits I have in my boat: 7" & 10" power worms and 4" Chigger Craws in all colors mentioned. All work very well for me. Normally fish with Grande Bass but when those are not working I'll switch to Power Baits. Also do the reverse.

Never had any luck with them. I have caught fish but hasn't performed better than anything else.

When I got back into fishing several years ago, I started with 7" motor oil power worms. Every now and again, I'll throw a 10" motor oil power worm.

The Craws are no good for night fishing. Send them to me and I will dispose of.

I will say that I have lived from East to almost West coast. I have either caught or have seen caught many of the big fish (8+) or better come off the Berkley 7" worm. They work! Winter, Spring Summer or Fall they will catch fish. My advice is to pull it up to a tree and shake it, then shake it and then shake it. Same goes for where you threw it in the grass or something that made you cast at. Most have come from Blue Fleck...

Great baits! If you are a "rookie" to fishing Texas rigged soft plastics then using Berkley Power Worms will definatly shorten your learning curve because there is not a soft plastic made that bass hold on to longer in the history of plastic worms! Negatives to bass holding on to the baits so long? More deep hooked fish. But they are definatly a bonus when teaching someone the "feel" to fishing soft plastics on the bottom. "Tap-tap".

Who here uses them and Do you believe the claims on the packaging...They smell different I like them but I'm still a skeptic a little bit.. Went out Monday Night 1/2/17 with our very own Big Leslie TFFer and I finally smoked him. He is usually dropshotting and wearing me out, however Monday Night I was worming a XL bluefleck Power Worm. At one point I caught 4 fish on 4 consecutive cast..Yeah I am a Believer.
In order to catch Big Fish..Sometimes you gotta Suffer.
