Berkley | PowerBait | Chop Block – Slow Sinking

Berkley PowerBait Chop Block

Soft Glide Bait – Wire Stinger Version (Europe)

The Berkley PowerBait® Chop Block is a premium soft-plastic glide bait engineered for devastating performance on European predators. This tall, broad-profile soft glide expertly imitates natural forage that pike, zander & perch key in on.

Unlike rigid hard glide baits, the Chop Block’s soft PowerBait body collapses on the bite for superior hook-up ratios and longer hold times. A mesh-reinforced joint delivers exceptional durability while enabling both wide, sweeping glides on a slow retrieve and aggressive, tight chopping action with rod-tip twitches or faster handle turns. The slow-sinking design produces a natural fall, and sink rate can be fine-tuned with nail weights.

European wire-stinger configuration
This Europe-specific version features Berkley’s Fusion19™ harness system with a wire stinger (instead of the braided “rope” stinger used on the American model). The ultra-sharp Fusion19 treble sits in a secure retention clip on the belly, while the integrated custom Fusion19 stinger (typically a dual-hook/frog-style design) is held firmly by a locking magnet in a dedicated tail slot. On the strike the entire harness detaches from the body, eliminating leverage and dramatically reducing thrown hooks. The wire stinger construction offers superior abrasion and bite resistance—ideal for toothy European species—while remaining secure during casting and retrieval.

Additional premium details include realistic custom-painted colour patterns, a natural brush/forked tail for added action and flash, and the proven PowerBait scent/taste technology that encourages fish to hold on longer.
