Powerbait is very effective on stockies in some lakes.
I use it with a 1/4 oz egg sinker and a sliding rig so the fish won't feel
the sinker weight.
In some stocked lakes where powerbait has failed me I've done well using
mealworms.
In larger lakes where there are older bigger fish I always do well on live
bait.
