Purpose-built for use with bladed jigs, the Berkley Power Stinger Swimbait introduces a new honeycomb molding technology that drives action through its tail by translating the movement of the vibrating jig throughout the entire trailer. Designed with a thick baitfish profile, the dense head of the Power Stinger provides easy rigging and prevents the trailer from tearing and slipping down the shank of the hook after numerous fish catches.
Infused with Berkley's legendary Powerbait scent, the scientific formula emits a taste and smell that mimics real prey and makes fish bite and hold on 18x longer than traditional unscented plastics. Complete with back and belly slots to accommodate a variety of rigging styles, the Berkley Power Stinger Swimbait is available in a range of hatch-matching colors and convincingly life-like HD patterns to perfectly match the forage in your local waters.
BOIL IT!I would agree with most of the previous comments, these are STIFF! The action of these is actually pretty good on the slobberknocker but they are stiff as a board on a chatterbait. I ended up tossing them in some boiling water for ~30 seconds and that changed everything. They came out so much softer and now have an action I would compare to the Zako. I just wish berkley would fix this at the factory. However, If you are looking for a trailer that can go on both the slobberknocker and the chatterbait and doing mind tinkering a bit, this is the one for you.

Just buy YamamotoConsiderably worse action than the zako. I use chatterbaits to imitate bluegills & this one sucks. (side note: if you are imitating shad, go spunk shad- but Berkley is the worst of the 3)

A-Rig MagicThese Power Stingers are a welcomed addition to the A-Rig family. They stay on the hook better than most flukes and swimbaits. The bodies shake, shimmy, and roll when using a bladed A-Rig. This is what I call a finesse frenzy and causes bass to strike.

Comments: Amazingly durable, put one on a mini max and it out lasted it! All that's on there now is a side rigged power stinger, although as previously stated the action is semi stiff, but when on a slobberknocker it's perfect. But while I have it on my mini max it barely is able to shimmy, so it just acts as extra profile and attractant.

Comments: Zero action on a Jackhammer. Might work better with a Slobberknocker.

Comments: Got some of the 3.5" for my mini max. Not a fan, It does nothing. The zako's are much better.
