Berkley Lab Series Minnow

Developed through decades of Berkley research and innovation, the Berkley Lab Series Minnow represents the next evolution in soft-plastic bait technology. Combining advanced scent dispersion, realistic action, and lifelike appearance, this premium minnow was designed to maximize strikes and help anglers catch more fish in even the most challenging conditions.

Made using a precise small-batch pouring process, the Lab Series Minnow features a unique multi-layer construction. At its core is Berkley’s proven PowerBait® formula, delivering a taste fish hold onto longer. A second MaxScent® layer provides extended scent dispersion, while an exclusive exterior powder coating instantly transforms into a slime-like scent cloud when submerged. This powerful scent release begins working immediately upon contact with water and can remain effective for up to 20–30 minutes before the internal PowerBait and MaxScent layers continue attracting fish throughout the life of the bait.

Designed with a realistic baitfish profile, the Lab Series Minnow incorporates a streamlined body, lively forked tail, and specialized internal air chamber that helps maintain a natural posture during retrieval. Whether fished on a jighead, swimbait hook, or finesse setup, it produces a subtle body roll and rapid tail quiver that closely imitates natural forage.

Exceptionally effective for modern techniques such as strolling with forward-facing sonar, the Lab Series Minnow excels at drawing reaction strikes from suspended and trophy-sized bass. To preserve its shape and performance, each bait is individually hand-laid in protective clamshell packaging, preventing deformation and moisture damage.

Combining cutting-edge scent technology, lifelike action, and premium craftsmanship, the Berkley Lab Series Minnow delivers the performance serious anglers demand when targeting their next personal best.
