    Default Does Gulp Kill?...

    Love all the gulp products for fishing in the back for every type of species that are present in those waters...but what would actually happen if the fish ate the gulp shrimp (for example) whole?....i cant see it being digestible...maybe im wrong...maybe this has been discussed before interesting thought though...

    I believe all their products are disgestible.

    I believe so also, plus they are bio-degradable...

    bio-degradable...does not correlate into digestable....a cotton rag is bio-degradable...but i bet you wont digest it. Berkley does advertise gulp's biodegradability, but doesnt mention anything about digestability.

    There is no nutritional value to it but if i'm not mistaken i read a faq that it does in fact pass through .

    bass might be fine, but what about smaller fluke and weakfish. i could see a definate problem there...plus even in bass , their intestines will still break down a whole clam into chyme, which will then be digested...and eliminated. i cant see that happening with gulp...can anyone weigh in with a definitive answer?

    Don't you think they would just puke it back up if something funky was going on in their stomach?

    possibly writing to Berkley will give you an answer.
