Perfect for flipping, pitching, and punching, the Berkley Powerbait Maxscent Creature Hawg features a ribbed body that maximizes scent release, moves water, and conceals the point of your hook. Offered in a number of big fish colors, the Berkley Powerbait Maxscent Creature Hawg delivers flailing, scent rich attraction that spells bad news for big fish in heavy cover.Powerbait’s new Maxscent line of baits release a super-charged scent field that attracts fish with a never before seen effectiveness. This all-new material provides an ultra-realistic texture and comes in natural matte colors to fool the most discerning fish. Engineered with enhanced flavor to keep fish from letting go, Berkley’s Maxscent offers a soft, yet durable construction that ensures a lifelike action and better hook-ups.
Comments: These are worth it. I use them for river smallies. Generally, I have the most luck blind casting during spring spawning to shallow calm spots, texas-rigged with a bead to protect the bait around the EWG hook bend and also to make some noise against the bullet weight. Just drag it through gravel beds with scattered boulders and you'll know when it gets picked up. I even use the spent baits as jig trailers... just for the scent. I'm a MaxScent believer.

Comments: This is my go-to punching bait now, the fish seem to hang on to this bait longer than all my other plastics likely due to the Maxscent. Maxscent is the real deal. The only thing I can complain about is the durability of this plastic. Although I typically wouldn't care as long as I'm catching fish, these baits are hard to find in stock anywhere. That being said, grab some when you can.

Comments: First off this bait smells nasty, but it really does get bites when nothing else does. In the spring time when I'm flipping grass during the spawn with a 1/2oz tungsten they can't resist it. Last spawn I set the hook on a big mama that weighed in at 8lbs even. If you want a bait that gets bites spend the extra money and buy this bait.From: Unknown: 12/18/20
Comments: Me and my buddy fished all morning and didn't get a bite on top water or worms. So tied this on and started flipping. Caught 3 blue crabs on it within 5 minutes Lol so we headed in but my point is... these things really do have a strong scent underwater. Crabs can smell like bass do so I'm sure the max scent is a huge advantage. I bass fish a tidal river.

Comments: great jig trailer makes the jig skip very well because of the flat bottom
From: AJ: Clayton, Georgia 5/6/20
Comments: I believe these baits do attract more fish. If you are on the fence about buying these, so you decided to read the reviews. I would tell you to buy a pack of your favorite design, because I think you will catch more fish. They do smell, but that's the point.

Comments: Ignore the first review. Don't know why you'd leave a review if you haven't even used the product. No it's not powerbait soaked in gulp juice/scent. No its not gulp plastic. It is a different plastic and scent all together that doesn't dry out and is different shades of colors and feel than the powerbait as well. It's a good bait and I've had success with it. Flipped it along side the sweet beaver my favorite and it was pretty close in productivity. It's all about which gives you more confidence. However these are more environmentally friendly.From: Terri: MN 10/12/19
Comments: been using these a lot lately and they are my new #1 bed bait. A lot of times when I use a white rage craw the bass will nose it and they will for a long time, pick it up by the pinchers and carry it off the bed, but the this bait if a fish noses up to it they will suck it in and stay on the bed the scent is amazing. I won't complain about durability it will Catch 2 fish on it and they will be big! Best performing Flippin bait although its not the prettiest is drives em nuts.

Comments: Favorite alltime flipping bait! Can't say enough good things about the bait from its scent, texture, durability and most importance fish catching abilities. If you aren't throwing these you are missing out!
From: Aluis NJ 11/16/18
Comments: This bait is a good bait with many positive benefit for an angler, which is mostly the scent. But that being said, this bait to me has one serious issue, that being the bait's durability. Green Sunfish and Bluegills had ripped apart this bait before the bass can get to the bait, and when you get a bass you are lucky to get 1 or 2 fish out of a bait before it is cut in half by the hook you are using. I do like the scent of this bait and it does catch fish, but amount of bait too number of fish caught does not out weight the cost of the bait to me.
From: Matthew: PA 625/18
Comments: These baits surprised me. Like the guy below me I was VERY skeptical these wouldnt dry out in an hour. Also the claws and the bait in general seems kinda stiff and not lifelike. However, I flipped all summer with these baits and they were in the sun for hours and did not dry out or lose smell. Also, despite my concerns with the action at first glance, these baits caught fish. Theres something to these baits, but unfortunately they are only available in a 4" which is disappointing.

Comments: For those of you like me that have been disappointed by the Gulp products drying out in their bags. Heads Up! The new Maxscent baits seem to be nothing more than standard soft plastics, possibly the original powerbait product soaked in the Gulp juice. I bought 5 packs of every new Maxscent bait they came out with and was immediately concerned after receiving them last week. I'm hoping they're made from a material different than Gulp baits. So help me, if they dry out in the bag two weeks after opening them like Gulp does, I will be returning every pack!
