Gulp Maggots for panfish?

I have a jar of gulp alive red maggots. Do you guy's dump the liquid out? Get it on your fingers and that smell stays on them all day.

No, don't dump it out. But make sure you tighten those jars good! Mine leaked in my bibs at end of last year.... peeeeeyeeeewwwwh! I guess a guy could bring some of those wipes out, but I don't think it is that bad... but maybe I just stink!...

I just got my Fathead and Glow Silver color heads today at FF smile

I've had better luck with the Honey Worms, too. They don't get hard if you forget and leave them on your jig. The Honey worms stay pliable and you don't have to cut them off your hook like you do with the maggots.

Wow, that's strange. I've been using the pink Gulp maggots during the winter for a few years now and have had great success with them. The nice thing is you can fish all night with the same one. I've used the white Alive maggots also but the pink Gulp always seems to be the best for me.

have you tried them side by side with the real thing? Ive done it a few times and switched back and forth and every time it was like night and day.

I've used the pink gulp maggots for the last couple years, open water and ice and when fishing with a live bait enthusiast, almost always match him fish for fish if not out fish him. Maybe its just what you have confidence in?

I have yet to use gulp alive but if its a pretty universal agreement that its even better, I should probably get some.

Instead of leaving the liquid in the containers, I find little plastic zip lock bags that I can store them into. I pour both the liquid and plastics into that bad and then jam that into the jar they give me. Has definitely helped reducing the liquid spills for me because I'm tired of my car smelling like gulp. Eventually you gotta switch the bags and wash out the container every once in a while just to keep it stink proof.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
