What's going on, guys?
Today, we're going to be testing
Gulp! bloodworms, which are fake bloodworms,
versus live bloodworms.
Live bloodworms run around $12 - $15 a dozen,
these are about $6.50.
Let's see which will work better!
What is this, is this just a straight up cliff?
Oh my god.
Erin.
Let's go down here, there's a really big shortcut.
[--The $#!@!!??]
Ha ha ha [Sorry.]
Ha ha ha!
[No!]
Come on.
How about this?
Let me go down here,
put the stuff down,
and I'll come up and help get your stuff.
I need you to--I think you should have both hands. [Okay.]
Here, let's try this way, let's go this way.
To the left.
[Oh, like around and down here?] Yeah.
[We did it.]
So, first we're going to just try straight up using the bloodworms,
see what happens,
leave it out there for 15-20 minutes
[Erin] It looks a lot better than I thought it was going to look, honestly.
Okay.
[Woah.]
[Nice little chunk.]
I've got this set up on a, uh, hi-low rig, paternoster rig, whatever you want to call it,
the same one we tie in our Senko Skipper Adventure Kit,
um, and we're going to just see if this-- if anything's going to bite this, I don't know.
On that rod, I've got the Gulp! artificial one,
and on this one, I'm going to put a live one, which is--
look at how large this one is. It looks great, [Oh my goodness.]
and you guys have seen me use bloodworms before,
I am a fan of them now.
They catch a lot of fish,
especially this time of year,
in, in, in Northeastern America,
Now, I'm using this on a single rig, now,
just because I don't want to waste the bloodworms,
they're so expensive and,
something that me and my friend were talking about,
Jason, is that
having one, single hook, versus two,
will save you a lot of money on your bait.
The line I'm using today is, uh, we picked up some Godline
from a store called FishingSir, I don't know if you guys have heard of it,
I used to go with PLine braid,
I used to go with more expensive, like Spyder Wire braid, and
and other, other braids like that,
um, but I've come to the realization that I change my braid out so much that
it's not worth it to spend that much on the braid,
um, Godline has been doing really well for me lately, um,
[Is it God-like?]
[Is it Godline?]
It's very strong, I have to say that, and I really like the high visibility on it,
um, it comes with a lot and it's a good price,
if you guys are interested in more braid, check the link in the description below,
uh, Godline is what I recommend
if you're looking for some cheap, durable braid that you can use a lot of.
Uh, so I'mma get casting now.
[Let's get casting.]
Let's get casting! [Let's just get casting.]
[Oh, watch out.]
Awesome--
and it casts far, too!
I like braid because it casts further than mono.
[and it--it's like--] It's thinner, it's--I-I love braid.
I've got braid on all my rods.
That one's got uhh, that one's also got Godline on it.
[You like how it doesn't stretch?] I like braid because it's strong and it doesn't stretch,
like, I get a better sensation and a better hook set with braid,
but that's just my opinion.
Comment below, what kind of braid do you like to use?
Do you like to use braid or do you like to use mono, and why?
*jingling*
Oh, fish!
On!
It's not pulling drag, it's not that big.
Go get him!
Down there.
Heh heh heh heh!
So now,
it is actually regulation
that you must use circle hooks when you're targeting striped bass
and I think that's a great thing
because it really saves it from getting gut-hooked
this was-this was hooked on its lip rather than its gut
and undersized fish like this
you need to let them go so that they can grow.
It hit it instantly, as soon as I threw it out there,
and that's the thing witht he circle hooks,
you can let it just keep eating it,
'cause as soon as it runs away with it, it's going to hook itself.
[Right, you don't have to set the hook.]
Yup.
Ooh, ooh, fish.
[Woah!]
On!
Ooh, big one.
Feisty.
Alright.
Another one, on the live bloodworm. [Took it really quickly.]
Side of the lip, again.
Now my bloodworm's all gone.
That's the unfortunate part,
is that these baits are fragile.
[They are fragile.] Yeah.
Alright, so it's been like 15 - 20 minutes, nothing has touched this Gulp! rod,
and these rods can't stop getting eaten,
maybe I'll try--I'll try putting some bloodworms in addition to this.
Oh no, it's on! [No]
That is a big ol' white perch! [Oh my goodnes...]
Nice! [That's as big as the stripers we've been catching, it's so fat.]
Wow, that is a big ol' stripe--uh- white-white perch.
[See, you even got confused.] Look at that- look at that belly.
You guys--you guys thinking what I'm thinking?
[Dinner?]
Grandmaaa! [Grandma!]
Just the Gulp! worms don't seem to be producing very well,
so in order to find a cheaper solution to bloodworms,
we're going to try something a little different.
Instead of
just these, Gulp! worms, what if we put night crawlers on there,
and the bloodworm scent?
Now, this was a suggestion from someone in our Facebook community,
um, he told us that--
y'all see that?
*jingle*
Is that me?
[I don't know, you might be a little bit sensitive to it.]
[No!]
[Oh, that is you.] It's me! Ha ha
Alright, so these just aren't cutting it,
what if
we put bloodworms on here,
no--what if we just put like, regular night crawlers on here,
and then scent them with this
with this bloodworm.
So, kind of just have both of them on here.
[Right.]
[That way, you can kind of, like...
spread your resources.]
[You're not using as much.]
Yeah.
So this way
you're not using as much and you're not spending nearly as much money,
i mean, this is like, $3, $4,
versus $12 / $13?
Let's see if this works better.
I'm going to put a bloodworm on the other one.
Alright, babe.
You get it? [Yup.]
[Nope.]
[Nothing.]
Dang.
Cast her back out.
[That was the blood--the-the] That was the Gulp!?
The--at least it got a bite...
Hah.
one bite after like
these other rods have had like, a million bites.
[I know.]
Erin, oh my gosh!
[You got it.]
[Woah.]
Ooh, it's a big one.
[You going to be able to get it?]
[I see it.]
[Alright, be careful, be careful. ]
[I'm worried.]
[Oh my gosh, be careful...]
Yeah!
[ha ha ha]
[That's fat.]
Nice one!
[That's fat!]
That's getting there!
[That's fat!]
[Ha ha ha!] That was on the live blood worm!
[Nice!] And like I said, that line, that braid line, I have a lot of confidence in it because
it's just so strong!
[So the Godline did you well.]
23"
[Alright.] 23"
[Whoo!]
That was a nice one.
Good job, guys.
And that circle hook, like I said!
Right on the side on the lip.
Alright, here, guys, hello guys,
here's our consensus:
*jingle*
These did not work very well.
I mean we tried it with, uh nightcrawlers,
only got a couple of bites,
the live bloodworm's where it's at.
that's what really performed today, caught a lot of fish,
right now is ultimate low tide,
it's really slow moving,
not many fish,
so we're going to head out.
