Gulp Alive Angle Worm Review
Gulp Alive Angle Worms are a universal bait you can use as a replacement for live worms. The bait shines in targeting panfish and trout. The bait limits itself by having a thin thickness, which leads it to be only easily put on thin wire and smaller hooks. The bait is roughly 1/16 inches thick with some thicker diameters going closer to 2/16 inches.
These angle worms are a soft bait completely soaked in Gulp Alive attractant liquid. The baits are typically still attached sausage link style, you can cut or rip to the desired length. Between casts or fishing spots, you can place your bait back in the liquid to recharge it. The scent lasts a long while and mostly suffers if it is sitting in direct sunlight on a hot summer day. Unfortunately, this soft bait doesn't have as much action to it as you might expect. It is rather stiff when falling or being moved in the water.
For your rigging options, any setup that you could use with a real worm will also work. Due to the heavy attractant, the bait works well being fished slowly / statically. Its thin thickness is a tradeoff. You can't use it easily on thick wire hooks but on the other hand, smaller fish are able to fit the entire thing in their mouth, allowing you to use a longer bait. A classic way to fish this bait is under a bobber / float, with you giving it as much movement as you think the situation warrants.
