Gulp

has anyone used Gulp before, i am looking to start buying some plastics for the fishing season and wondered what everyone thought

I like the minnow grubs, but you have to sort through them because the tails that get folded in the bag stay kinked and don’t swim right. Maybe they’d be softer if it were warm out? I don’t know. But the good ones do catch fish.

Gulp works great in the canadian lakes as an alternative to live bait! On P4 it also works well!
Just a word of advice, Gulp will dry out, if you leave it on your hook that hook needs to be thrown away because its almost impossible to get it off.
Good luck!!

I had good luck using them on smallies last summer on the Big Pond. The only draw back I found is that when I was not using them they dry up on the jig and are difficult to cut off. When these are not in use you must store them in the bag to prevent from drying out.

Good luck.

The sinko style gulp worm works great. Its heavy and has a good sink rate. Caught some nice smallies on the 5in size last year wacky rigging and texas rigged. Bought a bunch of the gulp minnow worms (wavy tail) out of a clearance bin this winter and going to give them a try this yeear for largemouth. They do dry up if left on the hook and you also better make sure the bag is sealed before storage, they’ll dry up in the bag too. Your wife or significant other wont care for the smell either if you leave the bag open…these baits really have a pungent smell to them.

I have used the 5in sinking for smallies and they work great.Heres somthing i have been doing….cut some super thin wafers of gulp and put it on above your ringworm or k-tails,some times it seems to really help. Stuart

I used the nightcrawlers last year on spinner rigs and jigs and they are great! I developed so much confidence with them that I ran them both days during a PWT tournament and never used a live crawler.

Couple things to watch, keep the bag sealed as they are biodegradeable so will dry out and don’t return used portions to the same bags – throw them in a different zip lock.

For situations where you have lots of smaller fish tearing your bait of the hooks they work great. I also used the smaller earth worms with my niece and nephew underbobbers and they worked well on panfish.

Excellent product in my opinion!

Why?

Yes, I caught without doubt my biggest crappies last year on a 3″ white minnow grub I’ve also heard the red minnow grubs do alright for walleye, though I haven’t worked it enough to really say so for myself.

A little trick i learnedis, if they dry out just though the in a little water. They’ll rehydrate and be good as almost new, or at least be easier to get off the hook.

what happens to Gulp if it freezes? I kept mine in my basement instead of my garage this winter because I wasn’t sure.

Fishanytime –

I was told this by Berkley because once it’s (gulp!) been out of the package the biodegrading process has already started.
