Berkley 6'' Camo Worm

I have used this Soft Plastic for many years for Bream (lots of success) but lately I am finding the quality of the product is very poor. Out of three packets I purchased there were only ten usable worms. Most were deformed while others had deep gouges in them as if the had been in contact with something hot before packaging. I have tried a few methods to straighten them without success.
I use other brands of Soft Plastics and have never had a problem with inferior product. I also tried to contact Berkley Australia but the contact link does not work. I would just like them to inprove thier quality control on the product as it such a great product to use when right.

Another option to the Berkley worm - are ones made from plastic.

The mojiko worms have a much better swimming action and dont dry out in the sun.

You'll still get the occasional bent one in the pack - but no where near the amount of bent ones you get in gulp pack

And if you want them to have that gulp scent - you can buy a spray or soak them in a tub of gulp juice with no ill effects

Didnt think the Normal Plastics could retain the gulp smell. they will wash off as soon as the plastics hits the water.
The Bio ones actually soak it up quite a bit and almost has a slow release like effect.

Had the same issues with turtleback worms - sometimes half the pack don't 'swim' - wrote to berkley - no reply. Ceased to use the product.

Yeah the plastics are nowhere near as good as actual gulp at retaining scent - but they do retain some
