Berkley Gulp! Pulse Worm 3.2

The Gulp! Saltwater PulseWorm 3.2 inch is part of Berkley's Gulp! range, built on the brand's water-based scent-and-flavour Formula. A ribbed body shape generates a distinctive pulse (vibration) as it's worked through the water, with a thin tail designed to grip the water and give a fine action even on a slow retrieve.

At 3.2 inches it's aimed at big rockfish such as ainame (greenling) and soi, as well as mid-size species including 30cm-class mebaru, kijihata (also known as akou) and kasago, and when fished from the surf it also covers hirame (Japanese flounder) and magochi (flathead). It's supplied in a 7-colour range covering solid, glow and clear finishes.
