Has anyone used the new Berkely Gulp Saltwater artificial baits? Are they all they are cracked up to be? Any views from users would be welcome.

Good man Smallfry! The advertising for this stuff is very convincing. Keep it real.

gave up on berkley stuff after trying power worms - much more expensive than my usual jelly worm and were so soft that they only survived one bite

Tend to agree with Raymondo on the jellyworms. I use Berkley Firetails for pollack and they don't last long at all. What brand are your jellyworms Raymondo? I might be able to save bitten off tails.

The top link is a jelly worm that I use a lot and lasts for several hard hits from pollock and codling.

The bottom link is a fishtek lure that is very very stretchy, and supposedly outlasts all other jellies. I have some and they are very stretchy, but I have caught more with the firtail jelly worm which is also cheaper.

Lewisteh, thanks for the advice and links. Much appreciated. The 'Jim's tackle' site looks good.

i bought a box of about a gazzillion mixed worms from harris angling about 2years ago (i think it was about £20) of course all the good ones are running low now but ive still got loads of the ones that never catch anything! strange as some of these failures look really good, there are transparent ones with sparkly bits in that really look the business but i've never caught any thing on them
