Have been fishing with the Berkley Gulp Alive 1″ smelt and 1″ chartruese since they first came out, Catch Crappie is what they do… I used to spend $$ every time we went fishing on live minnows, now I can catch 10-12 crappie form each Berkley Gulp alive before it is too tore up from too many hits. I don’t even use jigs anymore. Rig these things like a live minnow and just drop it down for some immediate action….it’s like crappie candy. Throw ’em back in the tub to recharge them after catching several crappie and take ’em out again later and they’re just like new. I will not use anything else… Told all my friends about them and now they are buying them too.Thank you berkley for an awesome product!!
