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

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.

Angelo Dumas : eh. no luck but will keep trying.

I just have not had any luck with these Gulp Earthworms. I have had luck with other Gulp products (crickets and sandworms) but just not with the worms. I have not gotten any bites or nibbles, I have played around with how I rig this product. I have tried to rig like I would an actual earthworm, both as a glob and also through the center similar to a wacky style rig usually under a float. Perhaps its my presentation but I have had zero luck. I can say that it does seem to have an earthworm look and feel when it is in the water under a float.

Robert A. Johnson : Live Bait. There is no substitute.

Almost, but not quite, exactly unlike real worms. No bites.

Murrell Dooms : Worms in a jar. They work fine

They seem to be working just fine.

Darrin Ridley : Works

Great

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!

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.

Lawrence Warneke : Great product and seller!

Great product and seller!

Darrin Ridley : Works

Great

Thomas Boyle : Great product

I love to wacky rig this. I live in Washington state and fish in very clear water. This is so realistic looking and smells so natural that it catches bass when others fail.

Texas Fish : I bought them 6 months ago and kept them in ...

I bought them 6 months ago and kept them in the shelf. I took my granddaughter fishing in a local pond this AM. She caught a 14" catfish on the first cast. We used half of one of the worms with a #2 bait holder hook under a bobber. I'm not buying live worms for the grandkids again.

KP : Great product

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

Busymommyof5 : Buy it the fish in the ocean love it

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

gleniz : Quieres un zeñuelo para pexes de aguas dulce. ?)

Super genial...encantado con ese tipo de engañador...no me a fallado jasta el dia de hoy...
Muchas capturas de peces y voy a pedir mas antes de que se me acabe en que ya tengo..100 recomendado....

Jermaine : Excellent

Excellent

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

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.

Jason L : Don't waste your money

I had one nibble and the fish must of realised it ain't real and spit it out quickly, surprisingly real worms worked! Don't know how it has so many positive verified reviews, hmm I wonder Amazon. Lol

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!

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

D Ward / aka BIGD : Works as it should

Good product

Mike : Fish killer when trolled! The elastic shape give these ...

Fish killer when trolled! The elastic shape give these things action and you will get bites by the dozens. Figuring out the hook size and placement in the crawler is lake specific however! Btw they stay on the hook unless a fish rips half of it off or untill you take it off.

marianne grucza : Looks good

Fishing Saturday with the worms

Veryeasy : not working out

never caught a thing and always have to switch to live bait to catch stuff instantly..

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

Sucks

D. Prez : Great bait alternative!

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

Texas Hombre : Great bluegill bait

I keep a jar of these on me for catching bait fish. Also, if the kids are around they use these for catching bluegill, etc.
They're easy to use and easy to store. For our purposes, they're perfect.

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.

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.

Kenney D. : Love these things...so do trout!

Love these things...so do trout! Run them down in the water column with a clear bubble and have fun with the action. I will always have a jar of these with me.

Murrell Dooms : Worms in a jar. They work fine

They seem to be working just fine.

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.

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.

RC K. : Pretty freaking awesome!

Pleasantly surprised with this purchase. We sometimes go out just for a half hour and we got tired of throwing away real night crawlers. So I thought why not? Best artificial baits I have found. Realistic to me and the fish. Catch around the same amount as when using night crawlers or red wigglers. Highly recommend and will buy again.

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.

DC Dad : They work

Bluegill and pumpkin seed seem to like it. Had good luck a few times now. Works well and saves us time from digging up worms in the backyard.

denise : He’s going to be surprised

Perfect stocking stuffer for a fisherman hard to shop for But I bought 2 of them thought they would be shipping together but only got one so far

Busymommyof5 : Buy it the fish in the ocean love it

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

steve s : To small

Will not buy again.

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.

Murrell Dooms : Worms in a jar. They work fine

They seem to be working just fine.

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 :-)

dennis : did not work well

would not buy again

Blueyedevil : Waste of money.

Have yet to catch anything using Gulp products. I put this stuff down and use real worms and catch 'em all day.

Steven Stogner : Fish love 'em!

Great for pan fish and catfish. I also catch bass on these!

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.

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

Jeff : Attract fish

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

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.
