Berkley PowerBait CullShad Evolution - New Size and More Fish-Catching Colors
Berkley adds a new 5-inch size and five bite-triggering colors to its proven soft swimbait.
COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Berkley PowerBait CullShad has been a mainstay in anglers' arsenals since its original release in 2023 – quickly becoming a go-to harnessed swimbait for anglers looking to draw bigger bites. Now, the team at Berkley has expanded the popular soft swimbait, with a new 5-inch profile and five new bite-getting colors, giving anglers more ways to fine-tune their approach when targeting quality bites.
The new 5-inch Berkley PowerBait CullShad offers a more compact profile for pressured fisheries, smaller forage scenarios, and seasonal advantages, while maintaining the same drawing power and proven performance of the original two sizes. Built with proprietary Honey Comb Technology for durability without sacrificing action, the CullShad continues to deliver a lifelike tail kick at slow speeds yet maintains stable tracking when burned back to the boat.
Infused with Berkley's tried-and-true PowerBait flavor, the CullShad remains one of the only large-profile swimbaits to incorporate taste, encouraging fish to hold on longer and increasing hook-to-land ratios. Combined with five new color additions, anglers now have expanded options to better match regional forage, water clarity, and the changing conditions anglers face every time they hit the water.
