I use them 80-90% of the time on a jig. They work really well and there's no mess in the boat. They may not out catch live bait but they are a great alternative if you don't want to fool with it.
Wont go after gills without Gulp "Alive". First time using them I was using live bee moths and a friend was useing the alives. He caught four before I caught one. Haven't had much luck with regular Gulp.
Got a jar last week but haven't used them yet. Hopefully, next weekend.
Right on the money. Have tried them a couple times, will not hold a candle to a wax worm.Quote:

Oh, by the way I've never used the maggots but I have used the 1" gulp minnows and the gulp waxies (I really like the waxies on a 1/124 oz jighead)
I tried them last year. They were a decent substitute for bait. I stopped "tipping" my jigs with Gulp or bait, though. I've been doing fine with just a plain jig.
I've always kept them in the jar they came in. I've had them in a pocket in my float tube. That little jar has bounced around and been upended for the last year, and I haven't had any spills.Quote:

I like gulp maggots but i like berkley power wigglers better because they dont make a mess and they come in a bag not a jar. Put either on a salmon egg hook and fish on a fly rod. They will eat that when they wont eat any other (artificial) bait.
This is what I use to store Gulp Alive in. Tried everything including making new seals . No more leaks. Best money I have spent lately. I got 10 bottles and shipped very fast!
