I haven't tried Gulp baits yet....

Can someone give me advice on the rig used for it and what kind they recommend. I have seen them in the stores, just wasn't sure of colors/flavors/shapes.

Thanks

I JUST BOUGHT SOME PINK AND WHITE JIG HEADS 3/8OZ

A handful of skilled anglers turned me onto the Gulp Shrimp baits this summer.

I fish them on a jig head like you would a Fin-S, Bass Assassin, Zoom, or any other soft plastic.

I did see a few folks Carolina riggin' their gulps in NJ and know quite a few talented fisherman doing the same down in (if you can imagine) the Carolinas.

I slammed flounders, weakfish, and croakers on them. The baby togs love them, too.

Had luck at the end of the season last year, carolina rigging them. Will try jig heading them this year.

on a plain jig or bucktail worked great for me in the back outfront or in the big bay i have not tried.

This past dec. fished a spot a little to long and got stuck high and dry. During my wait I found a shrimp that looked just like a gulp, so much so I bought a pack, but never had any luck...

You want the Saltwater Gulp and they all work unbelievely ! There are different flavors and certain flavors are species specific to an extent. Shapes and colors may make a slight difference to the fish in very clear water but they are much more for the fisherman.

Last Fall Berkley came out with a 5" Jerk Shad which at the present gets my vote as the best. I really did a number on the stripers on these last fall. They have a shape like a Fin-S and give you some good movement as well as the flavor.

I was jigging them on the bottom on a 3/4 oz jig head.

I really think as everyone gets more experience with the GULP it is going to get even more effective. I Promise I will allways have a complete selection available in the store.

There was a Storm rep at the SWS seminar and he had all the new plastics coming out. He had some nice stuff. They have some new swim shads,3" & 4" - 1/4 & 7/16 oz in a multiple of colors. They look pretty good. They have a nice pink one that looks like it would be great for weaks.

Dave is the man to see for the largest and newest on the market GULP! baits. I can attest to that..

One of my favorites - rigged on a Kalin 3/8 -1/2oz jig/lead head and fished around structure-Bridges,pilings etc...

They seem to work anywhere and I agree it doesn't matter shape and size- Just Do It!

 

[BUCKTAIL WILLIE]

They worked great for me home in Jersey BUT can't seem to get them to work down here in Florida

 

[kenuloza]

Anyone ever use the Berkly cut baits? Im talking about the squid scent for fluke?
If so, how durable is it?

 

[dirtydigger88]

i have done well with them for tog in D-bay.better than the real deal?im not sold on that yet,but a very good backup.

BW--WHICH ONES WERE YOUR FAVORITES??

 

[BUCKTAIL WILLIE]

copper penny Shrimp was most productive followed by the white/pearl minnow

 

[FishingLuhrs]

Bucktail Willie- Was curious why you thought the Gulp shrimp didn't work in Florida? I'm scheduled to go to Marco Island in April and have had much success in the past w/ shrimp on a red bucktail. anted to substitute Gulp copper penny shrimp but will not if it's not as good as the real deal

 

[unclefishy]

The gulp cut baits worked better than pro-cut last year for me

 

[BUCKTAIL WILLIE]

FishingLuhrs, I have no idea why I'm not catching on Gulps down here
live Shrimp on a brown bucktail has been producing but nothing happening when using Gulps
I intend to keep trying but so far no success and nothing like the success I had this summer

 

[joey2boats]

I can't speak for hear or florida yet.But two weeks ago I caught my first red drum on new penny shrimp under a popping bobber.Got'em at Fort Macon jetty near Morehead City.I'll give them a shot up hear in the spring.Just have to do some field trials to see which presentation works best.

heard so much about them from guys on The Barn. Gave a try late in the season. Couldn't believe the action on the shrimp out front and in the back. Mostly on the bottom. A little expensive but great results.
