Unbeatable Action and Scent – A Must-Have in My Tackle Box!
I’ve been using Berkley Gulp! Minnows for a while now, and they consistently outperform other soft baits in my arsenal. Whether I’m targeting bass, crappie, or walleye, these minnows get strikes fast—even when live bait isn’t doing the trick! What I Love: ✔ Lifelike Action: The swimming motion is natural and enticing, especially when jigged or retrieved slowly. ✔ Powerful Scent Dispersion: The Gulp! scent formula draws fish in from farther away—it really makes a difference, especially in murky water. ✔ Easy to Rig: Works great on a jig head, drop shot, or even under a float—super versatile and beginner-friendly. ✔ Durable Enough for Multiple Catches: While softer than some plastics, I can often catch a few fish per minnow, especially with good hook placement. ✔ Outfishes Live Bait (Sometimes!): In the right conditions, this stuff is more effective than the real thing—and you don’t need to keep it alive! Minor Considerations: ➖ Strong Smell (to Humans): The scent is potent, so be ready for it—and maybe store them in a sealed bag. ➖ Can Dry Out Fast: If you leave them out of the package, they can dry up quickly, so seal the bag tightly after each use. Final Verdict: Berkley Gulp! Minnows are a game-changer—especially when fish are being picky. If you fish freshwater and don’t have these in your kit, you’re seriously missing out. Highly recommend to anglers of all levels! 🎣🔥

Don't fish without these in your box!
These bad boys are a staple in my tackle box! They catch bass. They catch walleye. They catch panfish. They catch catfish. They catch perch. They catch steelhead. I know this because I have caught them all on these. They are versatile. I've caught fish with these on a bobber, without a bobber, bottom rigs, wiggling and jerking, and even with a gulp maggot rigged with it. The size you get determines the fish that hits. Good quality, heavy but not too much. It stinks good so the fish like it. Great value.

These work incredibly well
These catch fish!! I have been using them with the ZMan flashback minnow chatter bait hooks. Even just hooking it up to a regular jighead has been successfully too! Its like my sectet weapon, catches everything big of smal

The best bait however there is 1 flaw
These things catch about anything and they work amazing. Wish they made a 1 1/2 an a 2inch one as well. The one flaw which only happens to be on the 1 inch ones is durability. They are very soft and stored in liquid to keep them soft. The 2 1/2 or 3 inch ones don't use that type of plastic and far more durable.

Use a 2.5” gulp minnow with a trout magnet 1/32 oz dart/hook and it catches fish like it’s the best bait ever made. Only good for a couple fish before you’ll need to replace it, but still a GREAT bait!!!!

Watch what you are actually purchasing! 10 minnows, 1" per package.
I have heard good things about these. They seemed kind of pricy, so I figured I would try out some of the 1" ones to start and ordered a package, It arrived today. There are 10 of these skinny, tiny minnows in the package. The package must cost more to Berkley than the product. I threw them on the scale .. 0.3 ounce, and that's sealed with the package and liquid in it. At almost 50 cents a piece I am hoping they are very a very impressive bait. It would have been really helpful to have a package to view, or give a count for how many of these babies you receive. If they work well, I will get a pint of the 2.5 or 3" ones, too expensive in the small packages. Just be aware of what/how many you actually get before you hit that Add to Cart button.

Best plastics I have used jigging for walleye!
I bought this along with some other plastics for a fly in fishing trip in Manitoba to target walleye. Was not sure what to try, so I had quite the variety of different plastics and colors. The lodge had frozen salted minnows available for purchase which we did use our primary bait most of the time. The salted frozen minnows were the most effective, but they would start to turn to mush and smelled pretty nasty when they thawed out too much from the sun. The catch rate seemed to be a little slower with the Gulp minnows, but they lasted for at least 10-15 walleyes each so that help with not having to put new minnows on all the time and they didn't stink. It was great when the bite was nonstop as I probably did better not having to bait the hook after each one. Compared to the other non-scented plastics I tried, the Gulp minnows were far superior. Just wish I had bought more of them for the trip. Unfortunately I only bought one pack of these and it was the 4 inch in Smelt color. I will definitely keep some of these on hand any time I go jigging for walleyes for when I run out of bait or to just to mix up my options. I plan to try more colors and other Gulp baits next time.

Son muy buena opción para cuando te has cansado de lanzar señuelos o se te ha terminado la carnada que llevabas preparada. Tener en cuenta que cada pieza que se lance al agua es pieza perdida. No la recomendaría para niños o personas con poca experiencia pues en mi caso un familiar se las acabo en un ratito y no sacó nada, jeje
