Berkley is introducing a revolutionary mid-depth crankbait that promises to change the game for bass fishing enthusiasts. The Berkley Dime, set to be available in September 2023, takes the strengths of traditional balsa crankbaits while addressing their common shortcomings.
"Berkley understands what balsa crankbaits can do to help anglers catch more fish, but also recognizes the limitations attributed to wooden baits," said a representative from Berkley Labs. This insight led to the development of the Dime, a bait designed for improved performance without sacrificing action.

The Dime utilizes Berkley’s patented Flash Disc technology. This innovation allows the plastic bait to mimic the action of balsa, providing anglers with a feel that’s long been sought after. "It not only casts further due to the weight transfer system in the smaller sizes but tracks perfectly," the spokesperson added.

One of the standout features of the Berkley Dime is its sticky sharp Fusion19 treble hooks. These hooks enhance the bait's efficiency at catching fish, ensuring that when anglers hook a fish, they stay on the line. "You need to have tools that work flawlessly when you’re trying to fill the boat," noted the Berkley representative.
