I have a jar of Berkeley Gulp angle worms that I bought to use on a float rig when I do not have live bait. They are tiny around and hard to thread on a hook without breaking, but I can use them if I can't find a better Gulp product for the float rig.

What about the waxies or maggots? Have you used them? Would either of them be a good choice?

They ARE a little larger. At the very least, they should stay on a hook better.

Pretty sure Gulp also offers a cricket, that might be worth checking out.

Thanks for the reply Redfin. The waxie looks like it might be a pretty good size for a bluegill.l

Waxies will catch everything. Best Gulp product out there IMO!

Gulp puts out several sizes of their Night Crawlers. All thread a hook nicely. I use the 1.1 Oz/31 grams. Size 6 or 8 hooks works great. thumb

Thank you for the reply Laker One. I ordered those nightcrawlers, a small bag do the 1" minnows, and a bottle of waxies. Will try them all. banana

The minnows and maggots are the best in my experience.
