Berkley Powerbait Swim Shad 4" - Bunker 3ct

The Berkley Powerbait Swim Shad 4" in Bunker is a paddle-tail swimbait designed to trigger strikes from predatory freshwater fish. This three-pack gives you extra baits for a day on the water or to have backups rigged and ready. The 4-inch profile and bunker coloring mimic natural baitfish, making it effective for bass, pike, musky, and walleye anglers who want a realistic, moving target that fish will chase.

What sets PowerBait swimbaits apart is Berkley's proprietary scent and flavor formula built into the plastic itself. That scent dispersion means fish detect and hold onto your bait longer—giving you precious extra seconds to detect the bite and set the hook. Whether you're fishing shallow cover, offshore structure, or open water, this swimbait works rigged on a jighead, weighted hook, or swimbait-specific harness depending on your target depth and retrieve speed.

The paddle tail design creates natural, lifelike action on the retrieve, even at slow speeds. For anglers looking to move away from live bait or wanting a more durable, repeatable option, swimbaits like this one let you fish confidently for hours without constantly replacing bait. The bunker pattern is versatile enough for clear to moderately stained water and works year-round.
