The saltwater bait revolution

Berkley

Gulp!

We’ve done over 50.000 taste tests with over 1.000 scent and flavor combinations in the Berkley Lab. In 20+ years of continuous R&D into what stimulants make fish feed on bait, we know the true drivers of their feeding behavior. This is the reason why our Gulp! Products trigger the most bites and are leaving a proven trail of scent in the water for all fish to find and eat it. For the angler it’s almost an unfair advantage to catch more fish.

  • Outfishes all other bait!
  •  400x more scent dispersion (unbeatable)
  • Expands a fish’s strike zone by 400x
  • Imitates the natural odour and flavour of live bait
  • 98% Biodegradable
  • Scientifically proven, improved catch rates

The Crabby imitates a crab to perfection! The Crabby is not all about looks and that Gulp! scent though, it gets better than that. The Crabby features a ‘keeled’ belly that helps to keep it tracking straight on retrieve allowing the swimmers, legs and claws to flutter enticingly. Another great feature of the keeled belly is the horizontal free–fall or drop when used with a light-weight jig head. This makes it ideal for fishing structure where the angler wants a natural ‘sink’ such as boat hulls, racks, pontoons and walls. Flick the Crabby up against a boat hull or rock wall and watch it free-fall horizontally into the depths with its appendages fluttering on the way down and hang on!

More moves than a bowl of worms, the Crazy Legs Jerkshad takes the deadly Jerkshad bait fish profile and adds 2 long curly legs to give the bait an insane amount of action. Rigged on a jighead or (weighted) offset hook they have a sensational action at both fast and slow retrieves and on the drop!

The Sand Worm is the most life-like worm imitation you will ever thread onto a hook. Its body design creates a super soft feel and a fluid action that no fish will be able to resist.With hundreds of micro legs surrounding the outside of the bait, the Sand Worm looks natural as it distributes subtle vibrations into the water, forcing fish into thinking it’s real.The body construction also means this lure collapses upon a predator’s strike, allowing for guaranteed hook ups and a natural feel within the mouth of the fish.Combine this with the irresistible Gulp!® scented formula and you are ready to target any fish that eats a worm, from beach to estuary environments.The Sand Worm is available in a mixture of exciting colours to ensure you have the right bait for whatever type of environment you choose to fish in.

Gulp! Jerkshads are dynamite for big seabass! They are also irresistible to just about any predatory species that swims and eats small baitfish. Pollock, cod, coalfish, wrasse. Everything from bottom fish to pelagics can’t resist the combination of baitfish profile, Gulp! scent and darting, fluttering wounded baitfish action that can be imparted with a simple jerking retrieve technique. Rigged on a jighead or (weigthed) offset hook they are an outstanding fish catching tool.

The Berkley Gulp Peeler Crab soft plastics are a fantastic imitation of a crab that can be thrown around rocks, reefs and any other structure you find really to attract a range of different species. The Peeler Crabs can be rigged straight onto a hook, allowing their own weight to sink them down, or with a jig head if fishing in current or deeper waters. The Gulp Peeler Crab plastics don't require much action at all, they can be deadsticked (left to sit on the bottom), left in a rod holder, or jigged up and down to gain more attention.

"Are you there in the store, critically examining the packaging... would this really work? Armed with fresh worms and razors for the beach. First, I attached live bait, but the catches could have been more manageable. Well, why not? Let's try this artificial bait for once. 2 hooks with bait, 1 with the Berkley. To my surprise, I catch several good-sized flounders on this bait. This is going to be a regular choice from now on."
"Very good bait that can be cut, it is very attractive."
"Very effective in rock fishing. Did not use it for surfcasting yet."
"Great catch! Excellent ability to attract fish. Affordable cost, I recommend it to everyone."
"Works perfectly while fishing palagic at sea"

FAQ

There are many ways to use Berkley Gulp! Baits. Specific models are ideal for active, lure-based fishing techniques such as jigheads, offset hooks, and dropshot rigs. Meanwhile, other models that closely imitate live bait can serve as an effective substitute – perfect for fishing beneath a float, on the ocean floor, drifting, or surfcasting.

Our Berkley Gulp! Baits are exclusively manufactured in our Spirit Lake, Iowa, facility in the United States. At Berkley, we take great pride in our products' exceptional quality and distinctiveness. To ensure our stringent quality standards are met and to maintain the exclusivity of Berkley Gulp! Baits, we produce them in-house, making it impossible for any other brand to replicate their superior effectiveness.

The ingredients of Berkley Gulp! are a company secret. The bait is made from natural materials and the liquid is water-based, allowing it to dissolve and spread the Gulp! scent more effectively.

Gulp! Baits are NOT plastic! They are made of biodegradable natural materials and will turn into soil over time. We use glitters in some colours for extra attraction and liveliness; those glitters are not biodegradable.

It is difficult to determine the longevity of Berkley Gulp! Baits, as scent dispersion varies based on factors such as water temperature, water quality, and bait size. Typically, they can catch multiple fish on one bait!

Most of our Berkley Gulp! Baits come in convenient zip-lock bags with a double-sealed opening. When kept in the original packaging, your baits will do best. Please keep them in the bag with the pre-filled Gulp! Liquid, and they will do best. After fishing with one of the baits, take it off the hook and place it back in the bag so you can use it again.
