Wade Bourne: Who says you can’t fool mother nature? Yes, panfish love live bait – minnows, worms, crickets, etc. But sometimes live bait is unavailable to fishermen. Live bait also presents problems in maintaining freshness and transporting to/from the fishing spot.



This is where Berkley’s new Gulp! Alive! enters the picture. These fish-baits-in-a-jar mimic nature. They are made from organic materials with scent and taste to which fish are highly attracted. (In fact, exhaustive testing has proven that Gulp! Alive! is just as effective as live bait.) They are molded in shapes that look like natural prey. And they can be kept indefinitely in a tackle box or storage well for whenever the opportunity to use them arises.

Gulp! Alive! comes in 3 sizes/shapes for panfishing: 1-inch Minnow Heads,1-inch Fish Fry, and 1.5-inch Jigging Grubs. These baits can be fished on bare hooks under floats or as trailers on jigheads.

Gulp! Alive! will catch crappie, bluegill, perch, walleye, bass and other panfish. Again, it offers the advantages of live bait without the hassles or the mess associated with the latter. Gulp! Alive! is available in tackle stores across America. Anglers who purchase and try some will soon realize their advantages in effectiveness and convenience. No question, Gulp! Alive! is the real deal!
