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

james gresham : Did not provide results

Would not buy again

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

John Russo : John russo

I have been using this fishing date Altru out last year but I have not caught anything with it I do not know if it works or if it's me but when I use a different bait I catch fish so I do not know what really is going on so I'm going to give it only 3 stars because I have been fishing with it and I am not having any good luck with it

Rick L : Cats ask for it by name!!

Fish are loving it!! Cut small pieces and placed on my hook. The picture is a Channel Cat, 7.05 lbs caught 2/13/2017 with my gulp purchase. Saves on buying worms!

Stephen J. : dont bother

too small for any hook Id use, waste of money I love other Berkley Gulp products, but this is useless to me

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.

KP : Great product

Cheaper than real worms and from other stores. Works well.

Dealy Blackshear : We’ll find out!

The reviews that I read fussed about the jar leaking the smell good stuff pretty badly. I watched a fishing video today with the same issue, and the fisherman transferred the baits to a urine cup, like you might see in a hospital lab. I only used the baits on one two hour fishing trip so it really hasn’t had a good trial.

KP : Great product

Cheaper than real worms and from other stores. Works well.

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.

Jeff : Attract fish

The fish go after these at the same rate they go after real worms.

Desiree B. : Good backup bait

They work plain and simple

Darrin Ridley : Works

Great

james gresham : Did not provide results

Would not buy again

Bambine : works great for blue gills

works great for blue gills ... i still doubt it maybe the blue gills were so hungry that they bite everything :-)

Bruce : Too small

Way too small 1/8” x2 goldfish bait

marianne grucza : Looks good

Fishing Saturday with the worms

Desiree B. : Good backup bait

They work plain and simple

Jeff H. : works as well as live worms

fish could not distinguish between these and live worms on a recent fishing trip; wish they were bigger though

robert murrell : was expecting great things. The reviews had me convinced

have used several times now.was expecting great things.The reviews had me convinced,well some reality time later.. :{ ( nothing not a nibble to a lake i KNOWS is full of crappie and bluegill...

J. Jansen : Awesome bait!

Outperforms the real worms. Deadly on trout streams. The saltwater GULP products are taking over surf fishing here in California. I plan on utilizing them exclusively on the N.C. outer Banks in May. Awesome bait !

steve s : To small

Will not buy again.

Lawrence Warneke : Great product and seller!

Great product and seller!

Bruce : Too small

Way too small 1/8” x2 goldfish bait

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.

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.

Judy Briceland : Terrible product

We took our grandkids fishing. This wasn’t the first time. They loved it before but they didn’t even get a nibble on these worms! Plus when I read the fine print and it said to wash my hands because they are preserved with a cancer causing agent. That was seriously not acceptable for the wildlife or people! Why would something that I would use to catch fish that I would possibly eat be toxic? People READ the labels! They shouldn’t even be marketable!

SweetT : No luck for me

Tried these in our usual fishing spot and didn't catch anything at all. Usually we simply use hot dogs and those work pretty well, I thought these might work better and help us catch more but that didn't seem to be the case. I guess it depends on what kind of fish you have, because others seem to have great results.

Robert Gates : Disappointed...

The fish weren’t interested. I had a ton of surf perch around. They just kept swimming by. I tried giving it a little bounce and letting it drop slowly. Not one strike. Switched to a real earthworm and caught several back to back.

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.

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.

Isaac : Need further outings with it

Caught 1 fish with this bait. Wasn't working as well as other baits I took along.

Bob Clark : looks great

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

james gresham : Did not provide results

Would not buy again

Russ Jones : good deal

good deal on this product . they do ok for what they are

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.

Jeff : Attract fish

The fish go after these at the same rate they go after real worms.

Nye Wang : Never need to buy worms again

Naimur : Nice

Hey real
Looking

dennis : did not work well

would not buy again

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

philip turano : ok

hope it works

Dennis : Much easier than digging and last much longer than real ones

Used one of these for my grandson on a small trout stream last summer and he caught several small brookies. Nice that you can keep them for a long time; I've had these about a year and they look to be about the same as new. Nice texture and softness, very similar to a natural.

Busymommyof5 : Buy it the fish in the ocean love it

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

Soccer : NOT A SINGLE FISH

Honestly, I have used this product multiple times in different lakes, rivers and ponds.... and caught NOTHING with it. I caught more with bread ($1.50 a bag) and corn ($0.50) a can, more fish than I can count. It was a waste to money

Russ Jones : good deal

good deal on this product . they do ok for what they are

Bob Clark : looks great

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

vilma : I laughed

Worms are literally miniature

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

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

vilma : I laughed
