Handlebarz Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I was just wondering what you thought were with the gulp alive line of products? I was thinking of getting a pint of minnows and leaches for my may 24 trip and if anyone knows how many do ya get in a pint? I asked a local store and they had no clue.

kickingfrog Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I've used quite a few gulp products and like them. As I understand it the pails are meant to be used to "re-charge" the bait after some use. The stuff in the the zip-top bags is not supposed to be put back in the bag after use. I plan on getting a pail or two before walleye season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I was also thinking about getting some gulp leeches, but at $20+ per bucket, I hope they are worth it!! Too bad they didnt make smaller "buckets". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, the $20 pail is the small one. The other size I've seen is twice as big for $30-$40 depending on where it is. CT has the small pails as would most quality tackle stores. I haven't seen the small pails for any less then about $19.99. The small zip bags might be a better choice as someone experiments with the different types of gulp baits.

Hotrod2066 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I had to order the minnows in from the states and I still couldn't get leeches. You get about 50 in a bucket so it's alot cheaper than buying them by the bag. I like the liquid, the biggest complaint I had with gulp was drying out and not lasting very long after you open the bag, the bucket solves those issues. However the buckets tend to leak, I heard they were going to address this issue but I don't know if they have yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 one thing I did here from some others is tat they seem to last one guy sais he get 2 pickeral on most minnows and has even gotten 5 on one of them I had forgotten to ask how many were in from them so now I know around 50 thanks. I have been looking for them in the states and they are still $19.99 so our local shops are doing good on this one for us as they are also $19.99 thats always a surprise and nice to see. I have used the gulp bags before and like it but want to give this a try thanks for the help and hope some more people give there opinion on this.

danbouck Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I have heard of a lot of success with the minnows. As for me, last time on the ice I had the alive minnows on for a few hours and caught one perch. Decided to switch to live minnows and caught 7 perch and a pike in a half hour. All depends on the lake I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherriff Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have both the minnows and the leeches. Never caught anything on the minnows yet but I have not tried much and I have not used the leeches. The leeches I have high hopes for on a few lakes I frequent during the summer. As for leaking containers, I have had a terrible time with this. The containers are brutal. I switched to a thermos (that never leaked before) and it still leaked, everywhere. I went to Walmart and bought a leak resistant container, yup, leaked. Not sure what is in the stuff but keep the containers upright, the liquid makes a hell of a mess.....And it does smel ofter it has soaked into your tackle box....

Reef Runner Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I got a packet of leaches at the sportsman show and got some high hopes for them for pickereyes this year. seen the bucket, but as I'm usually haulin' too much anyway I figured packets would be better. reefrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
