Berkley Gulp


north red river

Recommended Posts

My son who is 6 calls the berkley powerbait honey worms - "Money Worms" because he always catches fish with them. He's pulled in lots of pannies, bass, and even a couple walleyes. Both summer and Winter. I never leave home without em, all colors. They are not exactly "gulp" but they stay on better, last longer, and perform better. The "gulp" maggots are ok if thats what your asking, they just dont seem to work as well. There is another berkley powerbait that works well called Micros...they come in a 75 count small bag. I love all this stuff and it more often than not gives live bait a run for its money.

Just saw that they came out with some Powerbait Spikes! I used to take their Power Wigglers and cut them down to look like spikes but now I don't have to slice and dice.

As for Gulp! goes I plan on hitting the Ice with some of the 2.5" Minnows for Crappies. I also heard that the red Gulp! maggots work great for imitating bloodworms for Perch and Walleye's.

Good luck,

Corey Bechtold

the stuff has a scent too it that helps and i think there is little reflective speckles in it too.

I love it, i am definatly going to get more of it this year in different colors, anyone know a good cheap source for it? I guess i could go back to my hometown and get it at spirit lake iowa at the outlet when i am back for thanksgiving.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
