Berkley Gulp! Alive! Minnows – 1" (2.1 oz Jar)
When it comes to ultra-light fishing, the 1" Berkley Gulp! Alive! Minnow is a legendary producer. This tiny bait packs a massive punch, perfectly mimicking the look and erratic action of a small baitfish fry. It is a go-to choice for anglers targeting slab crappies, trophy bluegill, and stream-dwelling trout, especially when the fish are focused on small forage.
Like all Gulp! Alive! products, these minnows are submerged in a 2.1 oz jar of "Magic Gravy." This design allows the baits to act like a sponge, absorbing the potent attractant and releasing a massive scent trail once they hit the water. Best of all, they are rechargeable—simply place a used minnow back in the jar to restore its scent and flavor for your next cast.

Rechargeable Design: The leak-resistant jar allows you to refresh the bait’s potency, extending the life of every minnow.
-
Superior Movement: The split-tail design provides a subtle, lifelike quiver with even the slightest rod movement.
-
Durability: Stays on the hook through multiple strikes, outlasting live minnows and saving you trips to the bait shop.
Pro Tip: The "Deadstick" Maneuver
Because the Gulp! scent is so powerful, you don't always need to keep the bait moving. When fishing under a slip bobber in cold water, try deadsticking. Cast your 1" minnow on a 1/64 oz or 1/32 oz jig head and let it sit perfectly still. The "Magic Gravy" will create a scent zone around the bait, and the natural buoyancy will keep the tail flickering slightly. Often, a finicky fish will stare at it for 20 seconds before the scent finally compels them to inhale it.
