is it possible to use gulp Baits on a Circle Hook, coz i always see anglers use it on a jig.

Yep , I sometimes add a split shot to the shank near the eye thus
creating my on jig .
Mostly I use the split shot 6 inches above the hook .

Experiment and see what you like best . It just depends on the situation which way I rig it .

I think I really prefer using the circle hook over a jig because it is self setting .

how heavy is the split shot should I use?,, i tried to hook a shrimp to a Circle, kinda hard,., should i hook it like a jighead?

Try to hook it so it hangs natural .

1/8 to 1/4 oz weight unless your in heavy terrain the lightest line you can get by with work's best for me .

Get you a cast net and try some finger mullet on that set-up .

My Curada is stung with 12 lb big game mono and my Shimono spincast has six lb mono .
My personal best was a 37 1/2 in. 19 3/4 lb redfish on an ultra light with the 6 lb mono . What a rush .

I use gulps on a circle hook with in line sinker. I just cast out and leave on the bottom like any other dead bait and or mullet. No action at all. Sometimes the gulp works so well I think that they should be banned.

What is others experience with threadfin shad? I seem to never get a bite on them. Mullet seem to be much preferred. Kinda like fresh water. They like spot tail minnows but none of the other small stuff.

thx for the info guys, Ill try to do the thing ur saying, it is good to experiment other things you dont know.

ill be fishing on monday in clearlake park, theres a assortment of fish there.

I hooked a mullet to my jig last year and caught the biggest flouder I have ever landed at Seawolf. As a matter of fact, let me tell you just how funny this was. I had two oriental guys next to me catching flounder after flounder. I had a guy about 40 yards out in a boat casting towards us. I hooked this monster. Got him in eye's view. Realized how big it was - WOW! Then my fricken rod snapped in half. Wanting this monster so bad, I grabbed the line, tossed the reel, grabbed my net and almost went underwater after this sucker! I won! The oriental guys were screaming "Fight that sucker!" The guy in the boat almost fell out laughing so hard. I found the reel and went home with my giant flounder, lol!

Gulp baits are very effective. I've caught alot of fish on them. Funny though, I just realized that the only time Gulp baits are'nt fished like bait, is when they are rigged on a jig head. Guess I've been fishing with bait.
When the Gulp baits came out, I fished them alot. There are still times when it seems nothing else works.
I simply get more satisfaction from fishing artificials, and have had them out fish Gulp on many occasions.

I've never tried a circle hook on a gulp shrimp before, but I have had a lot of success with a 2" peeler crab Carolina rigged with a circle hook.

thx for the info guys!!! will put it on my books!!!
