Berkley Gulp Maggets
Berkley claims to be an alternative to worms that highly attracts fish and is supposed to improve the quality and count of fish that you catch. However, does it actually work? I have owned this product for a year and have not caught a single fish off it. In fact I’ve seen fish not even interested at all for the cost of $4. This product is supposed to do more work than worms or any bait or tackle that is on the market.
Honestly, using real worms is messy and a lot of people don’t like touching them. I myself used to be one of them until I got older and got over the fear. There is a long tradition of rubber products coated with “Bass or other fish Attractants” Berkely even has apparent Poet Laureates and Legends of Fishing endorsing these lines of products..
“The scientists at Berkley have been working on PowerBait for years, constantly making it better. There’s absolutely no soft plastic on the market that catches more fish.” Larry Nixon 1983 Bassmaster Classic® Champion
However while using it at Kensington lake I began to get curious because I had zero fish coming to me after switching from worms to this. I’ve used this countless times over the past year and I have not caught a single fish. So what is Berkley gulp yellow corn made up and what makes it actually supposed to attract fish.

Realistic Maggot Profile: Crafted with an authentic larval body shape featuring the distinctive segmented design and natural taper that perfectly mimics live maggots. The plump, elongated profile replicates the exact appearance of the larvae that fish encounter naturally, creating an irresistible presentation for all freshwater species.
Lifelike Movement: The soft, supple Gulp! material allows for natural flexing and undulation that triggers strikes from even the most cautious fish. The balanced design ensures realistic presentation whether drifting naturally or actively retrieved, while the segmented body creates multiple action points that move independently.
Versatile Application: Perfect for multiple fishing techniques including float fishing, bottom fishing, and ice fishing applications. The compact size makes it ideal for targeting panfish, trout, and other species that feed on small larvae, while the powerful scent dispersion attracts fish from greater distances than live maggots.
The only thing that I caught were small blue gill, and it wasn’t consistent like using real worms. The time in between bits was long. I have tried almost every power-bait fake product an for whatever reason in Michigan they seem to not work.
