Questions about Berkley Gulp! Earthworm Fishing Soft Bait

Can I use a bobber and a weight with these? Its for little kids to avoid live bait.

Answer: Yes, that is what it was designed for. Looks like a real worm, but it's not. Works great for bobber fishing for panfish.

Answer: Yes u can use weights n bobbers

how many come in a jar?

Answer: A lot. I actually cut them in half and use them as halves, so it makes the jar go even further. Like another person said, I have been using them for a year and still have over half a jar left. They will typically stay on the hook for 2-3 fish, so you get pretty good use out of them.

Answer: I honestly have no idea, there is a lot, we have not really made a dent in it an d we have had it for at least a year.

What set ups shall I use to fish with these? I'm newer to fishing and I'd rather use these then keep buying real worms

Answer: You can fish these under a bobber. Also, if casting one small river or creek, you can choose to cast these weightless for a better presentation.

Anyone have any luck with these for ice fishing? Using real worms in freezing weather is difficult.

Answer: I have caught trout on these when they didn't bite on real worms.

Description says 1.1 oz jar. Photo currently shows two .64 oz jars. I just want to make sure of what I'm getting before I order?

Answer: I bought the red wiggler one and got a single 1.1oz jar of them. I would say to just go ahead and order them. If you get a pair of 0.64oz jars, you got a bonus. If you get a 1.1oz jar, you got what you ordered. If you only get one 0.64oz jar, contact amazon and they will probably give you a full refund.

Answer: 1.1 ounce jar from Tackle Finatics.

Answer: You get 1 jar

Answer: Not sure but they worked out fine. Had fun with them

how much amount for 100 grams live leech

Do people realize the jarred “worms” are made from soy, unlike the packaged “pinched nightcrawlers” which are plastic? 2 different products...

Answer: Probably not

How should these be stored and how long will they keep?

Answer: I just store it at room temperature. It's been more than a year, but still effective.

Answer: if they dry out, they can be rehydrated by adding small amounts of clean(preferably distilled) water to the jar and allowing the worms to absorb, then add more etc till they are saturated again.

Answer: I bought a jar over a year ago and assume it is still good, but I used it only a few times.

Can I store these in a hot car for months?

Answer: Not clear...

Answer: I have had a jar of them in my tackle box, in the back of my Tahoe since July, 2020. (today is 12/31/20). They aren’t dry nor do they appear to have deteriorated in any way.

Can these worms be used for potted plants to increase soil fertility?

Answer: They're not real worms. They won't do a single thing for soil quality.

Answer: No they are not alive.

Is there suppose to be a liquid in the jar? Mine has no liquid.

Answer: Mine did somewhat.....You probably recieves an old jar

Answer: No. Mine didn't

How long are these worms?

Answer: They weren't worth opening our creek fish wouldn't even eat it.

Can i use it in saltwater like mediterranean sea or red sea ?

Answer: I used in Fresh water, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't use in Salt Water. I plan on doing it this year for RedFish.

Answer: Why not it works great in salt water too.

how many comes in the pack?

Are they good for porgy fish?

Answer: don't know what a porgy fish is but they don't seem to do anything for the fish here in kansas

Answer: I fished them a few times, but never caught a fish. When fishing for sunfish, I have never found a substitute live worms. However, there are times that sunfish will eat almost anything, so it might be worth keeping a bottle of Gulp worms available in case you do not have the real thing. Everyone says the bottles will leak and when they do, they create a major mess. So, if you buy a bottle, you might want to put the bottle inside a zip lock back or something.

What size hook for these?

Answer: They'll stay on most hooks but fish won't bite them. I even smeared some bait on them but fish barely nibble.

Answer: Same result as Jason L.

Glass or plastic jar?

Answer: Plastic jar but I recommend real worms. This stuff is nasty!!! Wear gloves if you want to use this bait or the stench won't come off of your hands :(

Answer: The jar is plastic.

Do these float like Powerbait?

Why has the price Jumped from $3.50 to now $8, I cannot believe the price of production has changed that much?

Can this bait be used for rock fishing?

Answer: I never have, but it could be worth a shot.

Answer: Yes

Why is this product twice the cost compared to Cabelas?

Answer: Convenience?

Answer: Convenience

What is the difference between brown and brown 2020? They are priced differently.

Answer: The price on Amazon is driven by AI. So it will change depending on the hour of the day, the day of the week .... the season ... whatever AI thinks is important. So ... get the cheaper one.

Works for bass? Pike? In general. Also how many come per jar???

Answer: I did catch a few bass with it when I used it, never fished for pike, and probably about 10-15

Answer: not sure what they are good for---but there a lot (dozens?) in the jar and you have to dump them out into your hand or a towel in order to separate them, otherwise they break if you try to pull them apart. Stay on the hook well.

Do they come live or die

Answer: They are artificial

Answer: Mine were either sleeping or dead but worked well

Answer: These are not real, they are artificial worms

Answer: These are artificial worms.

Can these be used for saltwater fishing?

Answer: I dont see why not...if the fish sees it, it will look like food.

can they be used for slow bank fishing

Answer: Definitely. My 2yr old sits & fishes off the bank & dock with these & out fishes all of us! I believe either she's a bass whisper, or this bait is magical. Good luck.

Answer: They can be used any way that you would use a live leaf worm.

Answer: Yep. I rig them on a dressed hook and fish them on a fly rod for big bream. Cast next to cover and let it sink slowly to the bottom. Hits come when I do a slow, short strip raising it off the bottom. I don't have a boat.

Answer: I use them in a pond. So slow bank might be ok.

Answer: They work great floating with a slip weight, so worm floats above the bottom.

Do these worms float?

Answer: no they don't and didn't catch any fish for me either

Product reviews of Berkley Gulp! Earthworm Fishing Soft Bait

Max F. : Didn't catch anything yet

Went fishing for a couple hours but it was really cold. Got a couple nibbles but didn't catch anything. Will try again in spring.

T Besaw : Must Have

You can never go wrong with Berkley Gulp products. They are my go to when the fish will not bite anything I give them. Always a great item to keep in your tackle box. Digging up worms is cheap but if the fish don't take them for some reason they will take these.

Seneca Guns : Waste of money

I fished these side by side with real red wrigglers…the real thing works MUCH BETTER. The only thing these will catch are your money

E : Not good at all

Don't buy

red49er : much smaller than I anticipated

These might be ok for blue gill, red ear sunfish etc. but I bought them for surf perch fishing and they are way too small for that purpose.

Desiree B. : Good backup bait

They work plain and simple

Belligerentz : Panfish extraordinaire!

These catch fish.

Lawrence Warneke : Great product and seller!

Great product and seller!

CDAU221 : Bluegill had zero interest

Really disappointed by these. Didn't catch a single fish with them despite visually being able to see the fish and throw the bait directly on top of them. The bluegill naturally examined the bait when it first hit the water, like they do with almost anything, but save for a few early nibbles, they quickly lost interest and eventually ignored it completely. Super disappointed as I was looking for a nice live worm replacement for the kids.

Bruce : Too small

Way too small 1/8” x2 goldfish bait

D. Prez : Great bait alternative!

Great bait alternative! I have caught bluegills, Tilapias and Red Devils with this bait.

Busymommyof5 : Buy it the fish in the ocean love it

Guess it’s good if all the fish r coming after this bait

Ted Haoquan Chu : Catching fish made easy.

Fishing on Potomac River and caught many blue catfish and bluegills. I find the trick is to use small sized hooks as the worms are small. Going through the entire hook, so the hook is entirely hidden in the worm. Catching fish made easy.

Seneca Guns : Waste of money

I fished these side by side with real red wrigglers…the real thing works MUCH BETTER. The only thing these will catch are your money

Ted Haoquan Chu : Catching fish made easy.

tssn : Russell Kansas 2019

October 11th 2019 I fished with these worms and did not get a bite even the, Almanac said it was the best day for fishing in Kansas. Then I put two hooks on the same line and use gulp on one hook and real worms on the other hook caught two fish two different times with the real worms that should tell you a thing or two.

James Bond review's : Wonderfull bait

Was very sceptical about these lil guys. But man was am I glad I bought them!!! The blue Gill & crappie go nuts for them on a small jig. I have even caught a few keeper Bass on them. They are very durable and when you are done fishing with the lure just throw it back in the back and you can use it again and again. Overall must have for the fresh water tackle box!

Gail M. Rogers : No bites

I bought this when I was taking my little grandson fishing. We didn't get one bite on these. They were convenient and small which was good for a little one.

we sent the jacket back today ups : berkley around for a long time glup is great for any kind flyfishing for trout os small bass

nothing great product for fly fishing ITS GREAT FOR TROUT FISHING ITS A CATCH EVERY TIME YOU PUT IT ON A FLIES

Bob Clark : looks great

Bought as a gift for a freshwater fishing buddy,will let you know how he does with them.

Nye Wang : Never need to buy worms again

We have caught so many blue gills on these. They work just as good as live worms but last way longer.

Last week my 5 year old was using this and caught a 4lb bass on a micro lite rod. I helped him land it and it made his day.

Dan : Doesnt work

Doesnt work, buy something else

Kenneth Reilley : Always works, great value.

Really good for panfishing, at least that's what I use them for. They don't rip off the hook as easily as a real worm so I believe I get a better hook-up ratio. Each worm is plenty long enough to get 4-5 baits out of each one so you can fish this one jar for a long time.

Ruth : No bites

Took on a trip to Lake Hartwell, GA and had plenty of luck with real worms, when we ran out we tried these...not even a bite. Tried on a few different days but never had any interest. Better to find a local bait place and get live bait. Pulled a bunch of fish out of the same area with live bait.

Julia Bono : Causes CANCER and REPRODUCTIVE issues??!! What???

It states clearly on the product: can cause cancer and reproductive issues!!! And Amazon is selling this???

BEN S. BENOSKI : BURKLEY GULP

THE BOTTLE WAS DRY AND THE PRODUCT WAS DRIED OUT AND SHRIVELED UP AS WELL. NEVER BUY THIS CRAP AGAIN. NOT ABLE TO GETR SATISFACTION FROM AMAZON EITHER. THANK YOU FOR NOTHING!!!

Murad Saleh : It’s decent

They rip a bit but they are good and long. Got couple bass with the Berkley Gulp

Darrell Eddy : As good as live bait, but less fuss.

These worked as well as live worms in catching Bluegill for me.

julie robertson : worms

would buy again

terry : Not that good

Tried it the results weren’t that good, don’t think I’ll get anymore

Ted Haoquan Chu : Catching fish made easy.

Jennie Lynn : Thumbs up

Exactly what we wanted

twolfy : Realistic artificial bait

Got these to mimic red worms for me and grandsons to catch bluegills. Worked great so far. Helpful that they hold up better after strikes than real worms especially when I have two little grandsons casting and catching fish. Can tear them in half or thirds if you want to stretch them out more.

Jeffrey H. : The fish love them and I love the convenience

The fish went wild over these. I also like that I can keep them in the car and take my grandchildren fishing at a moment’s notice.

Spoonman : bluegill love'em

can go wrong with bait

marianne grucza : Looks good

Fishing Saturday with the worms

Anthony : Garbage… Even a starving fish wouldn’t hit this bait

Sucks

Omar lopeziñho : Not for every fish!

Not good for cat or bass fishing!!!

Jeffrey H. : The fish love them and I love the convenience

The fish went wild over these. I also like that I can keep them in the car and take my grandchildren fishing at a moment’s notice.

Tsia : wow! ONLY ANSWER TO TROUT FISHING

I LIKE THIS PRODUCT SO MUCH, NEVER MISS A BITE BUT NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ONLINE. CAN'T WAIT TO BUY IT AGAIN. I HOPE IT WILL BECOME AVAILABLE SOON.

LOVE IT!

nothing great product for fly fishing ITS GREAT FOR TROUT FISHING ITS A CATCH EVERY TIME YOU PUT IT ON A FLIES

NoRest4wkd : Great fake worms!

I was skeptical about these, but I figured it was worth a try based on the price. I'm so glad I did! They look very realistic, and while thinner than a typical earthworm, they do thread onto a fishing hook pretty easily if you do it slowly. I found that they're long enough to pinch in half and still cover a regular hook used for fresh-water fishing. On my first outing, I caught over a dozen catfish and 1 bluegill within about 3 hours. The jar is small and fits easily in my tackle box, and there are a LOT of worms in each one - especially if you break them in half. I'm extremely happy with this purchase and highly recommend them.

tssn : Russell Kansas 2019

Daniel Scott Janczewski : Stick with Real Worms

I figured I'd take a chance with these cause there are times I just want to go after panfish when the bite is tough and I don't want to go out and buy nightcrawlers.

These fake worms are super thin, don't stay on the hook well, and unfortunately don't catch any fish. Real worms will win against these any day. I wish I could say otherwise, but looks like I'll be running out to the store for live bait.

paolo Colorado : amazing. like worms that don't die, rot or starve to death even in your hot car.

I always keep these hands for trout, crappie, fishing etc. You don't have to feed them or keep them cool. Highly effective and transport/storeable.

T Besaw : Must Have

Belligerentz : Panfish extraordinaire!

These catch fish.

Max F. : Didn't catch anything yet

Went fishing for a couple hours but it was really cold. Got a couple nibbles but didn't catch anything. Will try again in spring.

Jessica Blaine : Fishing

I love fishing but I hate driving into town to get worms. These are hit or miss, but so is fishing. Some days the fish tear these up when they wont hit a live worm. Others they will tear up the worms and wont touch these. It is a great addition to the tackle box. Cut them in half or thirds to make them last longer.

Seneca Guns : Waste of money

I fished these side by side with real red wrigglers…the real thing works MUCH BETTER. The only thing these will catch are your money
