Comparing artificial leeches

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Comparing artificial leeches

Post by OTRA »

Both Berkley and Mann's have their own type of artificial leech, the Berkley Gulp leech and the Mann's PROtein leech. Has anyone compared the two of these during a fishing trip? Thanks.

I haven't compared the two, but I have used the Berkley Alive leeches and am sold on them.

I find the Berkly taste better than the Mann.

I have had only some luck with Berkley Alive leeches
They are not as good a real leeches but they do work sometimes

I have to disagree Walker....Mann have the edge, but it depends on how you prepare them, really.

I used the berkleys with tremendous success... I was amazed how different the bite was on the different coloursed leeches... I had black ones and dark broun with black dots ... I caught 3X more fish on the brown leeches

I'm sold on the Berkley also. I like the 3" black. These produce very well in my pond.
