No Joke About It, Berkley's Powerbait Jester is a Contender



Introduction: During ICAST we came across a new bait for Berkley in their Powerbait soft plastics, the four inch Jester. It's a crawdad imitator designed to move in the subtle and not so subtle ways depending on current and how much movement you try to impart to the lure through the movement of your line. We brought some in for a closer look.

Those notches on the claws look a lot like the tail section of the Imakatsu Javalon which has got to be 10 years old, at least.

That type of shape is actually far older. It goes back to a Mann’s “spear” type grub. Then Iaconelli used that to design the Devil Spear, then a Designer from Asia used that inspiration to create the Bubble Spear 2.2. Then the following year they created the Bubble Creature (aka) Jester in 2013. The Designer of this bait left Berkley in 2015.
