i know a lad who fishes the derwent reservoir and uses the yellow power bait,it absolutely hums  :vomit: but he swears by it for trout,he says when nothing else catches,that always gives the goods. i thought about it for saltwater but not sure...

I have seen the pink power bait destroy the fish on Grassholme resevoir.Like mouldy said,when worm and fly are failing,power bait usually winkles a few out....tight lines

I reckon it could have something to do with salmon eggs that are perhaps a byproduct from farmed fish.
It smells awful but the fish seem to like it.

I have used power bait on resevoirs but only when all else fails or the water is really coloured, but it only seems to catch stocked rainbow trout. Never had a brown trout on it yet.
Don't think its for sea fishing.

The Americans use it for salmon (of various types) and steelhead.
I'm sure coarse fish would have a go at it though.

My  mate at work who is a egghead reckons power bait contains pheromones etc which attract the fish.
