Gulp! Waxworms, Good or Gimmick? (Gulp vs Real Waxworms Battle with Surprise Comeback)

Gulp! makes a lot of artificial products that often carry the label "Catches fish better than any other bait". I'm skeptical but with a tag line like that I have to try it. In this video I test Gulp! Waxworms vs Real Waxworms. It got off to a slow start but then one of the competitors caught fire and really surprised me. Thanks for watching Backroads Angling!

Wonder why the live works better.. Maybe they should inject the gulp with goo.. Outstanding challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 🤜🎣

[@BackroadsAngling]

It's really really hard to replicate live bait. However, I think Berkeley has come pretty close though. Thanks for watching!

what do you use with your deeper sonar? I use my cell phone it looks like you have the deeper pro waterproof case as well? I lost my deeper pro last year some how I really need another I miss it a lot! Great video keep up the good work.

[@BackroadsAngling]

I like the Deeper but I've had issues with my phone shutting off in the cold. That will ruin your day really fast! I hook my phone to an Anker external power bank at all times and usually it doesn't shut off. I keep the power supply and phone in a tiny biking back pack. It helps to keep the phone off the ice and there is a clear plastic cover if I want to zip it up to keep my phone warmer. Any similar type of pack will serve this purpose.

Can corn may impress you with the panfish. 👌

[@BackroadsAngling]

I'll give it a shot! Might be a good idea for a video.

It's illegal to use in Maine 😒

The bass hit the spoon, not the gulp.

[@BackroadsAngling]

I agree the spoon is great for calling the bass in. But for me they usually come in hot and hit the brakes unless I have a wax worm on there. So I think the Gulp definitely helped seal the deal. You made me realize that my experiment should have a control in which I fish with the spoon alone before I put on wax worms or Gulp. Then I could test your theory - next time!
