FTR Industry Brief

The Moeba from Berkley is a soft plastic lure featuring an urchin profile combined with the company's proven scent technology. This bait brings Berkley's established scent formula to the growing urchin-style lure market, offering retailers a recognizable brand name in a popular product category that appeals to saltwater anglers.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – MaxScent takes on a new shape. Introducing the Berkley PowerBait MaxScent ‘Moeba, a new finesse soft bait designed to stand out in today’s high-pressure fisheries. The PowerBait MaxScent ‘Moeba delivers subtle, natural movement with minimal rod input, flares naturally on the fall, and maintains a lifelike presence even when dead-sticked, all while pairing that distinct profile with Berkley’s proven MaxScent technology to give fish something they haven’t seen, and can’t ignore.

In today’s sonar-driven environments, anglers are constantly competing for fish that have seen it all. Success now hinges on leveraging fish senses. Enter MaxScent. Whether targeting suspended fish or those relating to the bottom, the ‘Moeba excels by combining Berkley MaxScent dispersion with ultra-natural movement to expand the strike zone, drawing fish in and keeping them engaged when others fall short.

“The ‘Moeba hits a sweet spot that anglers have been chasing,” said Nathan Ragsdale, Senior Product Manager – Freshwater Bait at Berkley. “In today’s sonar-driven fishing landscape, it’s not just about getting fish to show up, it’s about getting them to commit. The ‘Moeba has the profile and drawing power to pull fish in, but what really separates it is the MaxScent. That scent field around the bait keeps fish engaged and is often what makes them bite, especially pressured fish that have seen everything.”
