  • This sand flea is made of PLASTIC! I can't believe this is actually for sale. Today we will be beach fishing and testing a fake sand flea vs a real sand flea to see which will produce more fish. I have my guesses, but then again I'm always surprised when I am up against mother nature. Who knows what will happen!

    I’m still in the middle of your video, but you can’t run a test with a live sand flee at the bottom and the fake one on top. I hope you switch to having them on separate set ups and have a real outcome to compare.

    • @venchergaming
      @venchergaming Před měsícem +2

      that or change to the artificial on the bottom and the live on top, as it might have just been a case of fish biting at the lower depth.

  • @djHELIARC
    @djHELIARC Před 2 měsíci +7

    Good video ,definitely seem very skewed towards live bait.I get that 100% live is going to get bit generally. I've caught plenty of fish on gulp sometimes better than live or fresh dead bait, but not always. I like to use the Gulp Amber Glow sand flea at beach and the Gulp sugar spice glow shrimp on a jighead. Hold them up to your head light to charge them up for some glow. Try out the shrimp on jig head some time. have a good one.

      @Rocketship-ib8wo Před 2 měsíci +4

      Ingredients:
      1 lb ladyfish meat
      2.5 Tbsp Viet Huong fish sauce*
      1 Tbsp vegetable oil
      1/4 tsp black pepper
      1/4 tsp white pepper
      1.5 Tbsp cornstarch
      1 Tbsp lemongrass powder
      1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
      1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
      1/2 cup chopped scallion
      extra vegetable for frying
      Notes: I recommend using anywhere from 2 to 2.5 tablespoon fish sauce per pound of ladyfish meat. Anything less would be a bit bland and more than that would be too salty.

  • @krga94c
    @krga94c Před 13 dny

    In these types of comparison, for a more accurate comparison, you would also need to put the Gulp on the bottom and the real one on the top. Next, you only use the orange color. Gulp makes a more natural colored sand flea model. I would say the best comparison would be with the one the closely resembles the natural coloring, since fish are very color oriented when it comes to their common foods. I've had good success with the natural colored ones. I've never tried the orange or other unnatural colors.

  • @eubenhadd3300
    @eubenhadd3300 Před 2 měsíci +5

    I would be the Gulp would work a lot better with being actively reeled, in rather than sitting static like you can with live bait.

  • @kyjelly3
    @kyjelly3 Před 11 dny

    I'm not sure about ocean fishing, but I was taught Live bait = sit and wait, good smells, bugs move themselves. artificial = active casting, great for inducing a reaction with color and movement.
    Maybe a different, more active set up with artificial and having the live ones sit on the bottom will produce efficient results ' u '

  • @TEOTWAWKI626
    @TEOTWAWKI626 Před 2 měsíci

    I use live sand fleas with a small piece of an orange balloon on the hook underneath the flea. If the fish can choose, a flea with eggs is tastier. Also, a fair test would be to alternate the positions of the bait. lower baited fleas get hit more often.

    @HeySkipper Gulp makes Artificial Sand Fleas that look more natural (color wise) wondering if you can try those and have better luck , due to the lack of movement I Recon they’d work better over a Piers Edge on a Sabiki set up … but… it’s quite possible with a more natural colored gulp sand flea and some scent additive you can possibly get the bites from shore line as well, just a suggestion , I’m new to the channel but glad I’ve subscribed love watching your content , also for location reference I’m located in the west coast so Pacific vs Atlantic Ocean where you are.

    It's the color and the smell. I don't think a vinegar smell, silicone smell, would attract fish and the the color is all wrong. If the a mottled gray/brown with a red/orange spot on the bottom, I think they would be more likely to attract a fish, oh and of course the smell, Gulp is going to have to find something that doesn't stink like silicone.
