So I have used berkley gulp crappie nibbles for a long time, really since they released. Last year I borrowed some of these from a buddy as my gulp jar was empty. Had more bites, had a few second longer hook set time, and caught more fish than with berkley. So, after that trip, I got some of my own, silver and chartreuse. That was 2 years ago. So now two years into using this produce, here's what I will say. Compared to berkley gulp, while these are not as potent scent wise, they hold up in water longer and so you have scent longer than with berkley. Also, in case you accidentally set them out in the sun while you are fishing, these will melt but it takes them longer to melt together than the berkley's do. It seems like any bit of sun exposure to the berkley's causes them to melt and clump together. I also LOVE the silver fleck ones of these, they are great in low light or muddy water situations or even when crappie are 30+ ft. of water holding on structure out in open water or shady coves. Now I will be honest and say I still have a few jars of gulp left, however, when they run out, I'm completely shifting over to these crappie magnet slab bites. They are not as mushy as the berkley gulps so they can handle those finicky picky crappie bites better without being completely sucked off the hook.
