Yep, I have a pack, they catch fish, but so do most of the Berkely GULP range. The sandworms are supposed to be very good for bream (i don't fish for bream much). Gulps are made of a different material to the normal power minnows, it is not as durable but gives off a lot more scent in the water. They also dry out if you don't seal the pack properly after your fishing session - I have done this once <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> The GULP soft plastics are supposed to be the closest thing to live bait, and (if you believe the propaganda on the package) actually outfish live bait in head-to-head tests - personally I reckon this is a load of BS but they are good.
If you want to get some, decide whether you want the fatter worms or the thinner worms. The fatter ones are (I think) 6 inches long, the thinner ones are (I think) 4 inches long, but you get more in a pack. A lot of guys don't use them whole, but cut them into an appropriate length for the jighead they are using. Small segments of the worms are also a good bait for garfish <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />
Another good soft plastic which is similar to the sandworm is the GULP turtleback worm - a lot of keen bream fishos swear this is the best plastic ever for bream.
