We went fishing this weekend in Corpus and I spent approximately 5 hours throwing paddle tails of various colors along with a few Paul Brown lures and got a few bites. I switched to a Gulp! shrimp and started getting more bites the very first cast and landed more fish.

The Gulp! was in a color combo I hadn't thrown, could that be the difference or was it the oil the lures come in, or do fish just like them more?

Thanks

Go for it. I don't think it's a magic bullet, but it might work sometimes when other things struggle. Fish bite things for their own reasons. I never thought gulp had the greatest action due to the shape and material, but Berkeley made new shapes.

You should try gulp for several or many trips to confirm or deny it is better. Nothing but gulp. I've done it with topwaters, paddle tails, and flies. Commit to one thing, good or bad results, trip in and trip out. See what happens.

When fish aren't hungry -- Gulp is better.

I have some GULP but the liquid turned dark .Is it still good ?

So, uh, what color were you using? Maybe it was that instead of the gulp.

I used two opposite colors and still had success with Gulp!

Have you tried the 4" Gulp Alive Shrimp in the New Penny color?

I have had success with new penny shrimp, get ready to get 1 million hits from piggy perch

LOVE Gulp!

Tried the 4" Gulp Alive Shrimp in the New Penny and still have but the juice is dark .I have
had it for 5 years that is why i ask. But Thanks for answering.

Next time, try the gulp and if you are getting on some fish have another rod rigged up with a similar sized jig head or hook with a similar sized non gulp offering. Try making an almost identical presentation as you did with the gulp. Or you could take off the gulp that working that�s working and put on a different color gulp of the same shape as the previous one.

I never got into fishing gulp a ton, but I think it can work just as good as something not with any added scent. Sometimes, the gulp might work better, but it could also be that the gulp works worse.

I always have gulp shrimp & sandworms when I go to the coast. I think its the scent more than anything. But I have had a situation when it wasn't getting bites but fresh shrimp was. I use it a lot when the pinfish are small & are stealing the shrimp pieces. They cant steal the plastic lure as easy. I started using the berkley sandworms on a size 6 or 8 Aberdeen hook to target even smaller baitfish & it also works well.

It could have also been that you just happened to switch over to the gulp when you happened onto the fish. But, they could have also wanted a smaller bait as well or the slower presentation. Gulp is good stuff, I like it for flounder and reds. A gulp scientist did a report that scents have to be water based for fish to smell them and that's what the gulp juice is so maybe it helps somedays but if you're in the fish it usually doesn't matter.

Gulp works, I have tried similiar colors, bait and presentations. They have a higher hook up and more strikes. Never leave home without them.
