Most non-gulp soft plastics arent porous so they dont soak up any of the gulp juice....it is just whatever sticks to the surface for one or two casts. You can get a new wire brush and roll your non-gulp soft plastic on it to make a zillion little perforations to hold more juice.....or rather just buy the gulp soft plastics.
The gulp plastic is porous and soaks it up....slow release of the water based scent. Thats why it works. Great stuff.

It wasn't likely the color. Fish mostly see a silhouette anyway. It's just movement. The other possibility is that you miraculously eased into the fish at the same time you put the gulp on, that would also yeild the same results. But if you were fishing the same place the whole time then you'd have to just say it was the stinky stuff. Gulp is alright... use it if it helps you catch fish.

We Were down in Venice for about two weeks. We stayed in the marina. You could not keep shrimp alive in the marina (that's another story). We used gulp almost exclusively and had very good success. We also used a product called Fish Bites, These look like strips of bubble gum with shrimp scent infused, We would put about 3/4 inch strip on a bare hook jig under a cork. We caught one of the biggest reds on this rig.

that is Louisiana though. You don't go fishing, you go 'catching'. it's literally off the hook over there in some places.

What I do is take my soft plastics and put them in the juice that the gulp comes in and they work like a dream the next trip!! What I do here in the Galveston area is the same thing I did when I lived on the coast of N. Carolina near Swansboro. I picked up this method from a fellow that bass fishes a lot. Mind you that was back in 85' and the technique has caught on. I inject my soft plastics with 100% Menhaden Oil. With a 10 CC syringe and a 14 gauge needle I poke holes all over the soft plastic. Not only does the bait leave a scent trail, when a fish bites down on the bait ,the bait tends to squeeze out some oil and my theory is that the fish tend to hold on to the bait. In the early 90's I was introduced to what was called " Killer Bee Bait". It was a container of 100% menhaden oil. Since then I've ordered it by the gallon. The original package came with a IV Ringer. About the same thing you'd find in the Hospitals for IV's. A person could hang the ringer over the side of the boat and set the drip, thus creating a "Slick". It still works to my notion.
