I don't own any, as I don't do much trout fishing. The post I made inquireing about Rufus Woods said I should have a vriety of baits. I don't wnt to buy 20 jars of Power Bait. If you had to choose one or two. What would they be? conf:

 

[powder]

Pink, green and white.

 

[Yonder]

my go-to's change with the seasons but if i had to pick one itd be orange.

 

[DBAppraiser]

Get the rainbow stuff, then you are covered.

 

[volynsky]

After many years of using power bait, I've been able to find 3-4 colors that work well for me.

First, the colors that do not work for me: blue, orange, dark green, and nightcrawler flavor.

The ones that work (in no particular order) best for me: chartreuse, rainbow, beige

The chartreuse is the one I use the most often. But, the best color I've ever used is the beige (brownish yellow--looks like cookie dough) color. It's amazing how few people use that color (it's actually a little bit softer texture than the other colors). Heck, I don't think I've ever seen people around me using it.

i have had tons of success with the darker yellow "salmon egg scented" flavor. It has outcaught all others by a large margin for me in a lot of diff lakes

Any color you want as long as its chartreuse.

 

[Donn]

If I only had one Power Bait to use it would be Rainbow.

 

[BIG GUY]

get the power egg's, pink and green. you can catch multiple fish on the same bait.. Tup: For Rufus put 4 white marshmellow's on the hook and then 2 pink egg's.

Chartruse, Orange and Pink. And not the sparkle stuff!! Get those three colors and a bottle of Trout DNA and you'll catch fish all day! Form a decent sized piece (about dime sized) around your hook in kind of a tear drop shape. Make sure your hook tip shows ever so slightly. Then put a little Trout DNA in a small cup or lid and just roll the bait in it. Toss'r out and wait for the strike.

Cabela's has it on sale for $1.99 a jar right now.

If I had to chose one it would be sherbet Tup: , but green and chartruse work good also. And if all else fails try pink. Also the fish seem to like the paste better than the nuggets for some reason.

 

[Theking]

Captian America. Red White and Blue. Outfishes any color hands down.

 

[MallardAddict]

for me typically its either chartruse or the yellow and green swirled stuff. I also do pretty good one one chartreuse and one orange egg or any combo of those two

 

[fishin musician]

I hate the paste so I never use it. I've had success with orange, pink, and chartruse power nuggets. For Rufus, just use plain white marshmallows to float your bait. Last year I used red shrimp flavored, and Major used (I believe) garlic scented. But plain white seemed to be the hot ticket.

 

[bpm2000]

back in the day when this stuff was a regular green or chartreuse was always the color! occasionally orange.

Just grab yourself some white small marshmellows for Rufus. Not only do they work with a bit of nightcrawler, but you'll have something to much on, plus, you can also make yourself into a marshmellow fountain... *cough* Guppytrainer....

Mini mallows and nightcrawlers are all you need. I use a couple Power Eggs on top of 4-5 mallows on occasion,but haven't used the Powerbait paste or nuggets in probably 3-4 trips.

Marshmallows and worms will get you all the action a 2 fish limit will allow.

I've never fished over at Rufus but here is what works for me on other lake. It's always good to have a couple jars of power bait, I like rainbow & Captain America(red, white, and blue). Also don't forget the EZ Eggs, they take scent real well. As for scent you can't go wrong with DNA trout formula or Krill gel. As posted by others Marshmellows can be used too. Good luck.

 

[gonefishin]

Wow!! Thanx guys. That really clears things up? conf: Looks kind of like any other baits. Personal preference is what you have caught fish on. If you happen to have the right color on the right day, you love it. If you don't, you don't think it's any good.

I think I will try EZ eggs with a DNA bath on top of some marsh mallows. I'll also drag along some crawlers. I don't see how any self respecting fish could resist.

 

[fishin musician]

You will be into fish. Now go catch that 10 pounder! Tup:
