I will have to say what you have said is true. I like the beer analogy.halibuthitman said:

Apparently, some of my colleagues feel I'm some sort of an authority on powerbait. I never use the stuff but to be honest, squishing some through the wings of a stimulator has crossed my mind.:redface: I do, however, know of one particular place where the marbled green has slayed some enormous rainbows. That would be at Olallie.

For what it's worth, I usually have my best luck with orange. Everyone I know swears by green and they do great with it, but orange powerbait is kind of my go-to bait when nothing else is working. And when nothing else is, usually the orange will get me one. The two biggest trout I've caught this year were both on orange powerbait.

Other than a couple of power eggs on a small snelled hook of some kind, I also like to place one power egg just above the hook when finessing a night crawler along the bottom. It adds a little color and helps the crawler float. They're not as buoyant as a lil corkie but more buoyant than just a crawler.

They work because the stink so good! Smell one sometime. They just have the sort of stink that tells me a fish will like this.

i think scent is most important but i know about the color orange and trout.
flourescent orange rapalas with gold sides catch more trout and smallies than the other rapalas do at least for me they do.

Power Eggs, are impregnated with a specially designed scent (same as Power Bait). But, I usually take it two steps farther. I often add two more things to my Power Eggs:
1. Berkley's Trout Jelly (gel)
2. Berkley's Trout Scent (liquid)
The trout "smell" the bait, because of the liquid "oozing" through the water and come to investigate the bait. It looks like the right color, so they smack their lips, after a first little nibble of the jelly. Then it's BAM (just like Emeril Lagasse), BAM! FISH ON and they won't let go! It probably tastes to the fish, like pizza to us humans.
No mercy!!! LOL

I limited out at the JCP last Friday with an old jar of turbo it had been opened over 2 years ago. it was a little bit dried out but stayed on the treble better than fresh power bait.

Rainbow and garlic or my 2 go to first baits. Some times a mix of the two
