Gulp Alive Leaks!!!

[cprince]

I take it for granted sometimes that I am a spazz... given my inability to use a foot control trolling motor with my feet... and penchant for ice fishing through axe trenched ice... but I have bought a few bottles/jars of Gulp Alive... and they have all leaked EVERYWHERE!!

I think I know how to close a jar... I have been doing it for close to 40 years... Those plastic jars suck!!!

I now transfer them directly into some mason jars. When I run out of bait, I put a bunch of my plastics in the juice.

Any one else notice this problem or is it just my continued ineptitude with every day functionality of objects and people around me?

And here I was getting mad at myself for forgetting to close the lid and putting the jar in my pocket..twice!! yes I've had the same problem!

Great thread! Eyetracker is a good one to read and has a great idea about the seal.

I think that I will stick to the mason jars... since I don't drink, I like to pretend that I have moon shine!!

@ BA... I am ahead of the curve! You'll see! You'll all see!!!

Try some of the new Berkley TEC alive boxes. They have a few different sizes in each tray and so far I haven't been able to make them leak(I've been trying in the basement over the winter).Ed at Paddletales had some in and they were nicely priced.

Just use the gulp in the packages not gulp alive, same product less messy and easier to transport although those trays look cool.

cutting the hole rather than peeling the seal absolutely worked perfect for me....another option is I saw that Plano now makes sealed bottles specifically for Gulp

[Dirtus]

i have always used a small Stainless steel thermos, they work great winter and summer....never leak....

The containers suck, i had two of them leak in my tackle box fishing for crappie last spring, had to wash the entire box and it's contents. Good idea with the mason jars

Lots of things you can do. I have started buying cheap waterproof food containers in various sizes...... they work very well.

[Jimmy_1]

You'd think with a big company like Berkley they could afford to have some engineers re-design the container for them. Pretty sad when you pay almost $20 and you get a leaky container...pretty pi$$ poor in my books....

Decent, albeit soft bait though.

[Mr Twister]

Screw the container issue as the plastic to be zip lock resealible bags we purchase are in my mind to fail so that we have to buy morew at that expensive price!
You cut the line and try to open the seal and some times the sealed portion rips away from the bag and you can kiss that pack good by soon.
I have been using ZipLock brand bags in stead.

Good luck Berkley

I put all of mine in skippy peanut butter jars, no leaks and fits in the bag better.
