Berkley Gulp! Gulp! Alive!® Minnow Bait Minnows

The berkley 1 inch gulp minnow, regardless of color (though I prefer emerald or smelt) is absolutely deadly on crappie, perch, white bass, and bluegill. I jig it behind a small hair jig, rig it on a 1/64 oz ball jig under a float, or bb shot it nose hooked on a size 10 mosquito hook, and it never fails. Even in highly pressured water, I can usually catch more fish than the live bait guys. Try it on a split shot under a Thill wobble bobber.

The Berkley Emerald Silver Gulp Alive Minnow is an awesome bait with excellent action in the water. Fish can't seem to resist it. I've caught catfish, bass, and panfish all using these. The movement, moreover, looks super natural, and the scent definitely helps draw them in. They're durable enough to last through a few catches but still soft enough to feel realistic. I like that you can recharge them in the Gulp juice and keep using them. Overall, a great all-around bait that really delivers, definitely worth keeping a jar in your tackle box.
