The PowerBait® Agent E is the latest creation from Bassmaster Classic® and MLF Bass Pro Tour Champion Edwin Evers. The bottom dwelling Agent E swimbait has an ultra-low center of gravity and skids along the bottom. These features allow it to imitate lifelike bottom dwelling prey. The built-in rattle provides that extra enticement for extra strikes. Edwin's custom-designed hook-keeper sheds the nastiest grass and debris while easily collapsing to hook the slightest bites. The side-to-side kicking action drives attention even at the slowest speeds as it skids, crawls, hops, and slides its way in the hardest to reach places. Built tough with flavor-packed PowerBait material ensuring you have the chance set the hook on every bite. Edwin says, "Fish this bait like a skirted bass jig or on a fast retrieve as a mid-water column swimbait.”
