Gulp packaged baits?

I saw some Gulp bait in plastic containers at Wal-Mart that wasn't crappie nibbles, and they were earthworm and corn. I bought one cylinder of each, since my older brother don't like touching worms and all that. :rolleyes:

If any of y'all here have used these, how do they work for bream? I doubt they're as good as live bait, but this way he'll actually be able to fish for something besides bass. :D

Also, are they real messy and smelly, like punch bait for catfish? If so, it was probably a waste of money for me since he's a clean freak. Lmao!

Thanks,
