used the gulp glow maggots when i ran outa real ones..i did catch perch but the bite slowed way down when i switched. ended up just using eyes instead.. only tried them once but i wouldn't take them as my primary bait..

Gulp pink waxies worked fine for crappies and gills last weekend. I'd switch up with a few spikes too but the fish hit the gulp well.

I've been using Gulp Waxies in white with some good success, but the Gulp Maggots in Natural white just not working for me??? They don't outfish natural baits. They are good when you are in a pinch or forgot your natural bait at home, very convenient and durable.

I haven't had any luck with the maggots.  I have a few containers, one in chartreuse and one in orange.  Any one ever use the gulp alive minnows on tip ups?  I have some bodies of water up here where use of bait fish is prohibited.  I'm gonna give them a go today due to not having the receipt for my bait fish i have in  my bucket.  Heard of a guy out and didn't have a receipt, the DEC gave him a 90 dollar fine and dumped chlorine in his bucket to kill his bait!

Ive been using the gulp alive! maggots in white. They work but you've gotta jig a little more often to get the bite. Don't work quite as well as real maggots but last three or four times as long. Going to try the waxies once this jar runs out. They're a little expensive but after ~17 hours of fishing and spilling half the jar on the ice I still have a little over half the jar left.

Used both but like the waxies better.  The perch have been really into the chartreuse color lately. :)

we use the chartreuse maggots  as a attractatant with real maggots on a spoon jigging for crappies i think it helps   mo
