Ever catch anything with it? I can get a few with various plastic baits, but not the Gulp.

The gulp! minnows are killer. So are the sandworms. Use them on lingcod, rockfish, pile perch. The eggs outfish powerbait for trout 3 to 1. I use the maggots for kokanee too.

I've caught a lot of west coast surf perch on both the packaged and the bucket.

That's my brothers' job, he designs all those Berkley soft baits and programs all the mills and lathes to cut the molds used for injection molding. It's all cnc stuff. His boss is a chemist that designs the make up of the soft baits materials. Berkley gulp and power baits are leaders in the water. Mb

Natural and chartreuse in color. Walleye, crappie, white bass and smallmouth love em.

Like any job it has it s ups and downs but it's been good for him He has almost 40 years there he likes being out in front and going hard doing new innovative things. Imagine being adept enough on a computer to design in detail 3 dimensional lures and change minutest details to improve the way it moves thru the water and it's allure to the fish , that's cool. Mb

The only bad thing about Berkley Beddel is, he's a Democrat.

I've used Gulp in the little jugs and bags - never caught anything on them tho.
Admit - only used while fishing the walleye run on the Fox river - combat fishing, those walleye see 2000 baits on their swim and the Fox is a chemical heavy body of water - paper mills on it over 100 years so whatever Berkley puts on them - likely disappears before depth.

The only bad thing about Berkley Beddel is, he's a Democrat. Yes Berkley Beddel was a democrat, while Berkley was in Congress his son Tom ran a PAC in D.C. With both of them in D.C. the Berkley Company was struggling. The family decided that Tom return to Spirit Lake to take over Berkley. I met Tom Beddell twice, he re-built Berkley to the company it is today. How he rebuilt Berkley was just absolutely remarkable. Berkley was privately owned by the Beddell family so when Tom said it was time to sell. Jarad Corp (?) bought Berkley for a "Billion Dollars". Not bad...I'd say.

Never used Gulp softbait in freshwater but they are great baits in saltwater. I catch table size (15" - 17") flounder with the white 5" curly tail grub on a regular basis. If the flounder are there they rarely fail to bite a Gulp grub.

I am a big fan of the gulp alive 2” minnows on a beatle spin. One can fill a five gallon bucket of panfish in short order.
