Berkley PowerBait Chop Block 8" (2.2 oz) is a high-performance soft-bodied glide bait engineered to target trophy freshwater gamefish. Designed with a tall, broad profile, this 8-inch bait mimics a variety of natural prey species like gizzard shad, panfish, and trout, making it an irresistible meal for aggressive predators.
Unlike traditional rigid hard glide baits, the Chop Block features a soft body with a mesh-reinforced body joint. This heavy-duty construction generates dual swimming actions: a smooth, wide S-curve glide on steady retrieves and a sharp, erratic "chopping" motion when twitched or jerked. Weighing in at 2.2 oz with a slow-sinking fall rate, it allows anglers to probe deeper cover and structure while maintaining horizontal balance and a subtle shimmy on the drop.
Infused with Berkley's legendary PowerBait scent and flavor technology, fish hold on longer after striking for optimal hookup ratios. The Chop Block comes rigged with premium Fusion19 treble hooks, an integrated stinger system, and a magnetic hook-retention clip to keep hardware securely flush against the belly during casts and retrieves.
