Fleet Farm in Rochester carries the 2" Power Minnows in 2 colors black/silver (I think this is called rainbow shad or something like that) and brown/silver.

dwag,

I found some at the Brooklyn Park Fleet Farm. They weren't in with the other Berkley power baits. They actually had their own little section by the smaller panfish plastics, tubes, etc. They only had 2-3 different colors, but they had lots of them.

Berkley changed their packaging a bit. The 2"Power Minnows are now sold in a pack of 12 with 2 of them already pre-rigged on 1/16oz jigheads. They are called Powerbait Realstix and come in 2", 3" and 4".

Colors are Black Shad, Chart Shad, Chart Silver fleck, Firetiger, Glow Chart, Perch, Rainbow smelt and Smelt.

Fleet carries a good varitey as does Shields, Reeds, Gander Mt, and some others.

If you can't find any there call FFO (Fishermans Factory Outlet) and see if they can get some out to you.

Good fishing,

Corey Bechtold

If the 2" are hard to find, buy the 3" and snip off a bit at the head end. Did that last night and they worked fine.

I seen them Realstix, they got that dang stripper glitter on 'em.

"No, really honey, I was out fishing!"

"Then why are your lips and hands all glittery??!"

I picked up a packet of these today. How are these intended to be fished for crappies? Below a bobbers?

[Matt Johnson]

You could fish them below a bobber, but fan casting would be a better choice in my opinion. "Horizontal jigging" I like to call it ...Pitching, flippin, slidin... they all work...

[Mr. Pike1]

I like to put the Berkley power minnow on a small tube jig hooked to look just like a live minnow on a jig. I agree with Matt when fishing deeper water or working a dock in fan casting and working the bite. However, if I am fishing shallow crappies 4 feet or less I will put a float on to keep me in the strike zone and just give a light twitch to get them to strike.

I order up the new colors for both the 2" minnows, 1" tubes & micros. It's nice to be able to choose from all the colors! Now if they would just start making the black 1" tubes again!!!!!

Good luck on the slabs!
