    Default Berkley Gulp Crickets


    Has anyone on here tried the Berkley Gulp Crickets? I have heard they work awesome and that the fish just can't keep from hammerin them!

    Wish you had said something last week , just threw away 4/5 packs . Must have been an answer in there somewhere . They are most likely great but my gills/red ear are picky eaters .

    They work. I’ve seen them work side by side with live crickets

    Just about all of the gulp and powerbaits work to one degree or another. Sometimes and some waters better than others.

    You can take a trout fly or bream killer fly in a pattern they like and tip it with a small piece of one of the power baits. I use the honey worms in yellow usually.

    You can pitch that to them on a natural looking cork and sometimes it just doesn't seem fair...they cannot resist it.

    The fly pattern does make a difference even with the power bait... they like some patterns better than others.

    You can pitch the minnows on a hook with no weight and use just enough action to mimic a distressed baitfish....and I have seen them bite that when they were so skittish they wouldn't hardly bite anything else

    I've used the Berkley Gulp nightcrawlers and earthworms. The ones that come in the little plastic jars. At the lake where I work the bluegills, bream, etc can't get enough of them. Another place I have started fishing they dont seem as interested although I have had them bite them.

    I've caught shell cracker by tying on a weightless Gulp nightcrawler with a slow retrieve. They just can't seem to resist that technique.

    I carry them in my kayak at all times,Ive never fished them under a cork,I always do well using a thin wire long shank hook.My favorite way is to slip the kayak into range,and anchor off,I like telescoping rods up to 14' long,with equal amount of line,A simple flip,swing,or overhand toss puts the cricket where it needs be.
    Once cast,I let the lure slowly sink,giving it a subtle twitch every foot or so it drops.Same thing on the retrieve,works very well for me.
