The best thing I love about Gulp is, when the juice spills out of the container and end up in my tackle bag, dripping down my leg. The ladies love the smell.
I used one of these this week for the first time. Didn't catch anything but some small fish did eat the antenni off, which I got a good laugh out of. Happy fishing!
Yes, the small extremities of Gulp shrimp typically don't last very long. But that doesn't hurt their ability to catch fish. In this video, I caught a 38" snook on a Gulp shrimp that had everything but the top 2 inches of its core torn off: www.saltstrong.com/articles/catch-snook-in-rain/
I just noticed the new softness two days ago. The new pack of gulp swimming mullet was super super soft. Putting them on a Texas rig with 1o ewg hook would split the head. The bait only lasted two saltwater bass before they tore it up to the point of no return. Went thru half a pack in just 3 hours. Definitely catches fish but think I'm going to stick with other plastics plus smelly jelly / pro gear for the price.
I can sadly admit my rithym sucks lol. Been trying to make it consistent, twitch twitch pause is a great cadence, pretty sure it's contributing to my lack of strikes. Thx for the video...great info.
Yes, the small pieces are surprisingly effective for tipping jigs and catching baitfish when chopped into small pieces as shown in this post: www.saltstrong.com/articles/how-to-catch-pinfish/
I gave it a thumbs up, the underwater and tips is good stuff. I noticed that you had mentioned the bait needs to be centered, that's when I kinda lost interest.. The jig head wasn't really in the center.. But still a great video. The underwater footage I love for sure!
The hook doesn't have to be perfectly centered... as long as there are no twists or kinks in the bait, it should have good action in the water. The ultimate test is to see if it twists around during the retrieve.
They definitely attract attention. But the new ones don't last much. I went through four of them in no time. They small fish kept pecking at them and tore them up really quick.
Use an injector and u can inject all ur soft plastics there are some tough ones that u can catch a ton of fish with one bait and just reinject from time to time
You are right! I don't buy products that I KNOW are designed to cynically gouge me. They are softer so you have to buy more, to catch the same amount of fish. Pass...
I typically use 7'6" rods that have fast action blanks... seems to enable the best feel and casting performance. Here's a link to see the rod used in this gulp shrimp video: www.saltstrong.com/articles/bull-bay-assault-spinning-rod-review/
I agree, but it works surprisingly well... here's a video of this same setup (Gulp shrimp on the jig head) catching a 38-inch snook and some trout while exploring some new fishing spots: ua-cam.com/video/4r5_TYztsRE/v-deo.html
So... They catch fish, but... They made them more fragile/soft, so you have to buy more of them to catch the same amount of fish. Good business. Bad ethics. Pass...

Can they tell the difference from the smell dripping down their leg?

Thank you. Your the first one that rig the lure correct. Up till now everyone has rig upside down. Great job

Hopefully they fix the material issue soon so that they are as strong as they used to be.

After the Pin Fish take the tail, I call it Ned Rigged 🤷🏼♂️🎣
I ran out of mullet cut bait once and had a bucket of copper color gulp and did just that, I cut the gulp in half and caught my limit in reds
I threw my cast net, caught finger mullet and my limit of reds
I save my old gulp that the tails get bitten off of and cut them up in small pieces and put it back into the gulp juice and use them tipping jigs
seanfishingtexas that works well on a sabaki rig too
@@NoCoverCharge yeah I've used them for that also

Gulp is the best soft plastic I've ever used in saltwater. And EVERYTHING eats it

Thanks Again @Salt Strong!!!
Cool video. Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure! Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment. Glad to see that you liked this Gulp Shrimp video.
What is you opinion on using spearing on the gig with the Berkeley shrimp gulp
Great question! Make sure to ask this over in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time.
Nice pool
Love these shrimp for catching big ladyfish!!
I found when using shrimp slower is better
What Berkeley gulp do you recommend for fluke

Do a Zerek live shrimp/cherabin
I have yet to catch any fish on gulp shrimp 😞😞
Same here. I've yet to catch fish on ANY Gulp product. I've tried the shrimp, peeler crabs, pearl white mullet.
Dude iv caught most my game fish on gulp when their hungry they strike hard
What size/weight jig head?
In this video, the hook is coming out the top, in another video showing how to rig the gulp, the hook is rigged coming out the bottom. Why different?
Ur preference man tbh
about how many casts will it take for the scent to disappear?
When you feel nothing wants it just put it back in the juice and switch them

What action and length is your spinning setup?
I typically use 7'6" rods that have fast action blanks... seems to enable the best feel and casting performance. Here's a link to see the rod used in this gulp shrimp video: www.saltstrong.com/articles/bull-bay-assault-spinning-rod-review/
Anyone have any luck using these on redtail perch?
How to make this weedless?
Here's a post that shows exactly how to make these gulp shrimp weedless: www.saltstrong.com/articles/weedless-gulp-shrimp/
It looks like a stick in the water no action at all
I agree, but it works surprisingly well... here's a video of this same setup (Gulp shrimp on the jig head) catching a 38-inch snook and some trout while exploring some new fishing spots: ua-cam.com/video/4r5_TYztsRE/v-deo.html
Z-MAN's are better for longevity
So... They catch fish, but... They made them more fragile/soft, so you have to buy more of them to catch the same amount of fish. Good business. Bad ethics. Pass...
