Fishing Gear: Berkley Money Badger

Berkley Money Badger

Description and Application: Casting for bass or trolling for walleyes—the Money Badger will catch more fish and cash more checks. Hybrid baitfish-crayfish design is compact and aggressive while delivering rod shaking, tail-thumping action. "Clicking" sound system is tuned to deliver a fish-calling balance of sound and action. Pro Tip: This bait excels at casting to structure or trolled at a variety of speeds from 1 to 5 mph. The Money Badger’s hunting actions with highspeed retrieves or trolling—it’s one of the most multi-faceted crankbaits out there. There are five sizes and 20 delectable colors.

Staff Perspective:The brainchild of Berkley’s lure designer extraordinaire Dan Spengler, he went through countless prototypes to find the right action, and not just for the one size then downscaled or upscaled to create the other sizes—each and every size was extensively tested and modified to create the perfect action—and they must work since both walleyes and bass will eat them with reckless abandon. And they’re priced just right--getchasome
