have anyone used them ?
Neat little bait, taken some nice ones spawn/post spawn. Used on 1/32 or 1/64oz jighead under a slip bobber, did very well under the ice last winter also with 1/80 or 1/100oz jigs.
thanksQuote:

How durable are the baits? Do they last for more than one fish? Some of the Gulp stuff is way fragil.
They must work well. I can never find any at BPS.
Just found them on Amazon.com. I have the same issue with Berkley's Power Nymph. BPS does not carry them, Cabelas is way across town so I just order them as needed. About to pull the plug on some crickets.
I've never tried them, based on the price they really love them. I have always wondered if the last more then one fish?
Ordered two jars. Got two nieces coming to fish the 29th. Report after that.
Can't say how many fish you can catch with one, but I bet they're easier to catch when you drop em.
;-)
mine will b here friday from Amazon.com
Fairly tough for the Gulp line. Taken 10 fish on them many times, if worn/torn just spin a bit and re-hook, doesn't seem to bother the fish one bit maybe looks even more vulnerable.
GOT IT..

will know if they really work in the morning...
Good luck! Neat little things. I'm giving live ones a shot tomorrow morning, myself.
Mine won't be here until Monday. You must live closer to the dist. center.
well i did'nt get 1 bite on the gulp ? had to use live bait..will try again ...
what's the best way to fish the crickets ? i was on the bottom w/1/32 jeg head...?
I'd fish em like a real cricket. #6 hook, no split shot, small bobber 1-3' above.
will try Thumbs UpQuote:

Best method was just the hook and the cricket, but it's hard to cast. Maybe a small split shot about 2' above the bait will help without spooking the fish. Not as durable as I would like, but they catch fish.
Glad they worked for you, but the real test for any bluegill bait is after the spawn.Quote:
