I watched the Can-Am Walleye Championships on my new favorite channel (WFN) last weekend and was impressed with the success that the anglers were having with the Gulp line of baits. It was an "artificial only" format taking the top US and Canadian pros and pitting them against each other.

Most of the pros were a little hesitant in anticipating good catches with this artificial only format but after the first few hours on Day 1, most said the Gulp outfished live bait. The most positive aspect of using the Gulp, according to the fisherman, was the ability to catch multiple fish on the same single bait which translated into spending more time in the water instead of re-baiting hooks.
