Thread: Berkley Gulp?

As far as I can tell good old fashion jigs work better. I tried them seriously during the spawn last year and the crappie would drag the bobber under and then let the gulp go without being hooked. I could have caught three dozen crappie in the time I wasted testing the gulp minnows. I say wasted but that isn't the way I feel because they are certainly an interesting concept. When I fished with minnows as a kid live minnows would dramatically out fish dead ones. My observation would be that the gulp is close enough to "real" that you get the same reaction as a dead minnow.

Don't buy a lot but bream LOVE them. The scent leaks from the gulps well and I have found them good for bream on the bottom. Nesting worked well.

I use the gulp cricket and it is good on bream.

I used them before one time and killed a bunch a bream with them .....I seen an old boy make everyone else in a crowd jealous one time with some on some slab crappie when no one could get a bite as well ......he had the larger version and the one I used the one time was the smaller version ....that said I don't carry them with me or own any myself ...pretty pricey stuff

Have a bunch, just can't seem to pull the trigger and put them on. Also have had these for probably at least 5 years, lol!

Skip, I love the small ones for buegills, and in warm water. Not much luck with crappie. Also good on walleye in the larger sizes.
