Berkley Gulp! Sandworm VS. Live Pile Worm - Which Will Catch More Fish?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- I was very curious if live bait (Pileworms in this case) would catch more fish than the artificial well known Berkley Gulp Sandworm. I'm also interested to see what YOU think will catch more. Watch until the end to see which bait outperforms the other in this live bait vs fake bait contest!

you can actually draw a straw poll, it is part of youtube, and all viewers can vote with one touch. Watch a video on youtube to see how you could make one instead of having people dislike ur video and crashing your video's rating to the ground.
like so he can see the comment.
got it. thanks. did not know that.
lmao you really said to dislike the video
actually i assume he knew what he was trying to do i have to hand it to him what he did was realy clever. Id say 9 out of 10 people wil say live bait is better than fake bait and he assigned live bait to "Like" and received many likes over dislikes. He manipulated the system, he encouraged people to interact with the like and dislike system and in the end received what he realy wanted wich was likes.
Internal Fury lol
kelvin barrera no moron he has a lot of subs and doesn't care lmao what a tool
sorry man i can't dislike your videos haha
lol thanks
true
The Youngwolf just flip ur phone upside down and press the things up button!
Right
The Youngwolf d
I've caught fish on chewing gum, piece of yarn, beer can top, piece of wood with glued on glitter, etc. Not saying ready made stuff isn't good but I think there's also a lot of hype out there, sometimes I feel like I'm the fish being caught. Cheers Matt! Couple of nice day's coming up, finally!
lol i feel the same way man. We're all fish to someone it seems
just a little tip which may or may not be of help, here in Australia we have a worm called a tube worm which looks very similar to the pile worm. instead of cutting the pinchers off thread the worm through the mouth and it will bite down on the hook and sort of lock onto the hook meaning your bait is much more secure and won't slip as much. I don't know if it will behave the same but it's near identical to a tube worm so I'm only assuming it would! God bless
Ive never been fishing in my life but thanks to your videos it feels like im experiencing a fisher mans life. Thanks for that!!😊😊
don't want to dislike the video so I'll start a tally here instead: Berkley Gulp
DISLIKE IT! lol
Scott next time you can make a viewer survey on RUclips. Great comparison btw!
ooh I agree re-liekd haha
dislike
I like
People call Berkeley worms in my area "perch crack" .
Perch crack ❤😂 where are you?
You should try the mystery tackle box inshore saltwater box for a video.
I agary
that stuff is junk
Kayne Tominaga I, too, agary.
hey
Appreciate the experimentation and sharing it with us! For future experiments, consider all variables to ensure reliable conclusions. In this case, the Gulp bait was always on the bottom hook. Perhaps most fish were cruising low and that's why they went for artificial. Some variables can't be controlled, but occasionally reversing the bait positions or better, fishing with TWO rigs close by, with reversed bait positions, and the conclusion is more reliable.
Polite suggestion only- it's hard to criticize your entertaining and informative content. GREAT JOB!!!!

The gulp was on top for the first fish he caught
If I'm not mistaken, the Berkley Gulp Sandworm has glitter in it, hence it creates the shimmering effect under the sun light. That itself improves the bite chances
My Guy just gave us a lesson about sand barriers and waves
I often recycle some soft plastics in the gulp juices too :-) -- Synthetics are convenient and practical for hard core hobbyists that do not plan, or have time to catch their bait. Many of my buddies from the northeast have switched from squid to gulp... for convenience alone. --- valid experiment.
I use Gulp baits for fresh water all the time and they work just as good and usually BETTER than live night crawlers.
I wish there was easier access to fishing where I live
Freshwater fishing if you can't go saltwater 👍🏼👍🏼
live bait or cut bait is virtually always better than artificial bait, unless you are fishing for farm-raised fish that have never had live food. However the Gulp-sandworms are pretty tough. I've caught three or four fish in a row on the same rubber worm and then put it back in the pouch.
thanks for the pro tip on reading the beach!
Where is this spot?
he lives in SF its probably a beach somewhere close to/in the bay area
saltwater fishing on the Pacific coast is SOO much different than fishing the gulf here in Florida
Both likes and dislikes promote the video higher in RUclips feed. That being said, I love this channel and I vote for live bait. thumbs up
ive pretty much always used gulp and have always had better luck with it, so its nice to see it works
I would never dislike one of ur vids bro ! Good stuff keep it up !
Your tips in this video help me and my lady hook into a bunch of surf perch this last weekend. We hit a school using the Berkley gulp sand worm. Hell yeah! And you know we cooked them in a little bit of butter!
I know this vid is hella old but thanks for during this experiment. Since I'm relatively new to salt fishing I learned a lot. I really like all of your vids.
pileworms?? i love how creatures names change round the world im from northern ireland we have the exact same worms only their called king ragworm here! great vid man
That big rock you were fishing at used to have a pathway that went out to it and fisherman would throw bugeye jigs for stripers.
If someone hooked one, someone else would have to hold the fishing line on the northside of the rock while the fisherman would run down the path to the little beach you were on and land the striper. Once the fisherman reached the beach, he would signal the dude holding his line on the rock and tell him to let the line go.
It was crazy because I remember a dude from Brisbane fell off of the front side of the rock. The dude used to drive a Corvair I remember.
If you tease the worm to make the pinchers come out then jam the hook between them, it's a really strong hook up. The pincher appendage is a super strong "sleeve" of tissue.
These artificial worms would be a good idea when I'm fishing with a three hooks setup. Usually its the bottom hook that catches the most, so I could use a real sandworm on that one and use fakes on the other hooks.
Surprised by results. Can we do a Gulp! Sandworm vs Shrimp test?
YES!
Was just thinking that, good call
Fisherman's Life I'm sure you know this but there are also Gulp! Shrimp. I've never tried them but I know ppl in Florida swear by them. Would be cool to see the real deal vs fake measure up.
You're fishing all the spots I grew up fishing along the coast. Good stuff, man!
We tear the trout and Redfish up in the Gulf here in Florida on the Gulp Shrimp. They will outfish live bait, sometimes it is because of the colors, sometimes just being able to have the bait stay on the hook longer
Love the sandworms. Durable, longer shelf life, and less of a pain in the ass
Thanks for the video
I just bought some artificial black lug worm 9 inch and worry they won't catch they don't have a great following
But you have boosted my confidence a lot
Thanks
i dont ever watched one video from you but i couldnt dislike it because i never dislike bevore i viewed the whole video
@3:56...."Personally, I like the middle of the hole!" Me too brotha!!!!!!!!!! God Bless.
Cool video. From now on I might just go with artificial baits instead of dead ones i.e. prawn, squid or chunk of fish meat.
Blood worms work the best! I got a bunch perch with them!!!👍🏻👍🏻
You make a great point. Berkeley sand worms are a great option to catching perch in comparison to live bate. However, if you really want to compare Apple's to Apple's, you forgot to include live blood worms. I fish in the Monterey Bay for perch on the weekends, and although we don't have a pile worm supplier, we do have blood worm suppliers. I'm not saying you aren't aware of blood worms, but I'm only noting you forgot to also bring blood worms in the competition. And they Are more expensive than the pile worms. In Salinas, they'll run you about $13 per dozen. Depending on size of worms, each worm is good for 4-6 hooks. Like your videos.
You have to take into consideration that the pile worm caught the bigger fish, while the sandworm caught all the little fish.
In the UK, those things are called "Rag Worm". I have dug more than enough of them that are thicker than my thumb and its only the biggest which can cause a minor stinging sensation as opposed to a bite. Sure, it can make you jump sometimes (surprise) but that's the worst I have experienced of them.
Now although use both of those worm baits (Gulp and Rag) I have yet to experience a day where the artificial has beaten the real thing. Try them suspended under a float / bobber, but assuming the worms are 6" or longer, hook them an inch down from the head, thread them on carefully so as not butcher the side of the bait, fill the hook and cast out gently. Current and tide will take your gear where it needs to go, so be prepared to let out more line. Best of luck mate!
I like that you have a normal hook set, other people basically launch the fish out of the water
The video was very sharp/clear. Good camera.
You are my first subscription for surf fishing. I liked to watch the comparison. I use both. I tried my own comparison with the sand worm and lug worms. I could get 3 lug worm sections per worm.12 worms in a container. I can't remember how much. Went to seal beach. Same as you top, bottom rig. Surf was perfect. I fished sand worms on both hooks, then live on both hooks. At Seal Beach I caught a few with sand worms but killed it with lug worms, Thanks for the vid. I like the way you took the time to explain everything. No matter how small. The reading of the surf to explaining the moss on the rocks. You just taught me how to put both on the hooks. I think everyone has their own style. I was just surprised at the exposed hook. They still hit it. Thanks again.
I use gulp all the time and outfish all the people on the boat.... Gulp is way better and if the live bait wins I would be shocked..
You were right!
michael montes what about with fresh water? i have never used live bait, and this is a quite lively pond, but still.. the bass never bite any berkley bait. even Rapala can't hook them... any advice?
Hi TheGaming Hybrid .... I have only used the Gullp white twister tails (little white nymphs) for bluegill and crappie and they worked great but I don't fish freshwater too often so I am not the guy to ask for sure.... Frankly the time I did fish freshwater you could have just put in a plain old hook with nothing on it and probably caught just as many fish...
The surf fishing info and how to read the waves was great, very helpful
I don't wanna dislike the video but I think Berkley is gonna do better. hope I'm right. back to the video!!!!
Great explanation of sandbars.
Not sure where you are fishing, but here in the PNW we called those worms kelp-worms. Have used them many times when fishing from the jetties, when I run out of other bait. Have caught some nice pink ear sea perch Just chip away at the barnacles and you can find the worms under them. If there is a lot of kelp on the rocks where you are fishing, you can take a few minutes to turn the kelp over and find the bigger worms there. We just threaded them on like a night crawler, on a two hook perch rig, with a flat or pyramid weight at the bottom and a small clear float to keep the bait suspended. It is fun when you hook two good sized perch at a time. Love to fish and used to go when ever I could get out. Had a stroke awhile back and cannot get out like I used to do, it is hard to navigate the beach sand or carry your crab traps, bait and other fishing gear while using a walker. - - - //es//A 70y/o Avid Outdoors Lady(disabled) and Veteran, 1965-1994
Thank you finally a RUclipsr explains that
Is it me or this guy is so good at fishing and being confident
No need to dislike man and thank you for info
In Ireland we call them rag worm and do cut off there head cuz there teeth hold on to the hook and does not come off easy
i fish strangford lough mate always chop the heads it lets the juices flow in the tide
they might be easyer to get cought on the hook with the gulp plastic worm but the live worm its what attract the fishes
Louie's cafe in upper left closed permanently.....lots of memories..chasing stripers off fisherman's rock back in '86..world class...
Guess the deep part in the surf is actually the current of water outflowing from the shore, it has usually more fish since the out current brings food in form of crustaceans , smaller fish and plants from shore
I'm a Fan. What a picturesque setting.
Just do a poll at the video, I dont want to dislike a very good video!
The first channel ever asking for dislikes
Berkley always advertises that their artificial lures out fish live bait; Had a hard time believing that, but this video is a good demonstration that it actually does; Good Video!
I voted for the berkley gulp sand worm but I still liked the video
I liked your tips on reading the beach. If you have any more, that would be great!
I'll post them as they come!
Purple Slider 6" works great for bass fishing, now I got to go fishing. Thanks
I would say they are both the winner
I feel the fish went for what they saw first
Love the head-to-head comparison. I bet you can think of more!
it's funny I was using both one day, they both worked surprisingly equal.
It’s also the water columns the high low rig sits.
Had to drop you a thank you for getting me my first ocean fish. Pulled in two perch and a smelt down in Cambria thanks to your videos and this one in particular.
All the times I’ve been nipped with those worms and it never dawned on me to cut the pincers off.
A big one will draw blood when it gets on and they have a weird way of contracting back in your fingers then latching on.
I feel bad for disliking because this guys awesome but he wanted our opinion and we gave it to him
we call them ragworm here in uk and we use bait elastic to hold them on the hook, works great they stay in place
Not going to lie didnt really expect the fish to pick a gulp you've already cast so many times on over a fresh worm. That has convinced me to just go the gulp now I guess, longer lasting and if I dont use them all I can store them for later
If you can get a hand on sand shrimp or ghost shrimp probably what cali calls it they are a good bait for surf perch also.
I found an article that say's pile worms are illegal to sell and illegal to use for bait in Washington State.
I met a dude in so cal a couple of years ago and he was using the Berkeley sand worms and he caught a whole bunch of perch. He told me that his buddy got a full bucket the day before.
NW Fishing secrets sent me here thanx 4 the vids man keep it up
Originally thumbed down to cast my vote but changed to thumbs up because I liked the video lol 😂
hahahaha
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Nice images also.
I was routing for the live worms, there's so many factors...position of the two bait (top vs. bottom), time of day and setting the hook early or late! Just my 2 nonsense :-)
I totally thought that crab on the bottom of screen was for real sitting on those rocks at 9:00 mark...lmao....was like..damn that's a nice crab...love your videos...especially the catch and cook and also do more real vs. fake vids...
Thanks man, really nice video!
Not that I wanted to down vote ya, but, you asked me to give a answer to a question I already knew the answer to. Nice video. Up vote for the video.
Good video as always !
I like the challenge dude can you do it again plz
Texas fish and game did this style contest with dead shrimp vs gulp shrimp when it first came out. Gulp won big time.
I am really like your explanation for the wave and find the spot in the beach fishing. Thanks
Honestly I think it’s more about the spot you are and how much bait their is in the area and which lure is on the top or bottom of the rig but I would just use gulp worms for both hooks in a good area with bait to be most effective. I think if you can find your own bait then I would do that but to cost effective I would think about it that way
Can't believe the sand worm won but it is like fishing with nightcrawlers or grubs
This guy is the best.
The video i needed today
I liked the video just because I enjoyed it. No original prediction is that the artificial sand worms will do better
3000 people obviously have used the amazing gulp sandworms before. Love your videos man! Was really hard to give you a thumbs down but I don’t even use blood worms (so cal) anymore, only gulps.
I subscribed just because of your reading the beach tip.
I like the idea of mystery tackle box
I mean... I can't dislike regardless of what I think.
I live on the Central Coast, and the Gulp bait has ALWAYS produced. The perch went off last year like crazy- it was actually difficult to find the Gulp sand worms in some stores because it was THAT good. Admittedly, I haven't had a chance to get out and fish this year (crying on the inside), but I would bet that the Gulp would produce just the same. Also, based on what I have seen, I think the Carolina rig produces far more than the 2 hook and sinker rig- no hard proof to back that up, though. All that said, I would absolutely rather spend money on the Gulp than pile worms any day of the week.
I can't bring myself to dislike one of your videos but I gotta go with the gulp worms. been using them for years and they work soooo good on perch.
Hi I didn't realize how new the vid was lol
Oh man I love being in the middle of the hole 😀
Can't say I'm surprised. If I was a fish, I wouldn't want to eat one of those weird looking pile worms if I was them either lol.
I feel bad for the dislike, but this video was great!
I could never dislike one of your videos anyway :)
Matt can you make a video explaining how to tie that rig I'm 13 and I'm trying to get into fishing and it's hard to understand some things so me and all the other noobies would appreciate a series that would teach us how to tie certain rigs and how to fish.as always I love the vid :)
Ok i'll make a video in the future about rigs to tie.
Awesome. thanks and have a good day
Very informational stuff i love it
to my surprise the fake pile worm for me, they didn't had any live bait at the shop so we went with it. We caught two keepers striped bass! We should fish sometimes, I live in the easy bay!
