Berkley Gulp! Saltwater Shrimp is without a doubt one of the most effective saltwater baits of all time. Designed to look, feel, smell, and move just like live shrimp - you can even fish with it the same way! Made to release 400 times more fish-attracting scent than other plastic baits, Saltwater Shrimp are 100% biodegradable, extremely durable and long-lasting.

will the 2 inch version catch smaller fish with a very high bite ration...normally i will fish with bloodworms and have a high high bite ratio per casts..probably 99 percent...will you get hit up like that and will you catch fish from which lengths and which species from land and jetties....white perch/striper.....
If you are getting 99% bite to cast ratio, why try anything else? Gulp 2 and 3 inch will catch most anything that swims in saltwater and in various sizes.
A jig head will work well, but try it on a leader set-up. Use a 24" fluorocarbon leader attached to a 3o kahle hook. Use about a 1oz sinker (or heavier) to hold your bait down in the surf. Good luck.
Depending on depth a 1/4oz jighead should be fine. If the bottom is the "strike zone" of the species you're after then put it there. Bouncing bottom or sharp jerks and pause.
In the fall and winter when the stripers run up the river in fresh water here, we catch them on white gulp. I have also caught Largemouth bass with them and on the next cast catch a redfish on the gulp. Go figure.
perch, catfish, stripers, anything that eats shrimp and some stuff that doesn't. most predatory fish hit based on color and action so the saltwater/freshwater thing doesn't make a huge difference. i have done well with both in both types of water.
I would like to try this for drop shotting inshore for reds, flounder, and possible trout, do you think this would work? or should I just keep it on a jig or texas rigged?
Drop shotting this bait works pretty well. I've used this technique to fish bridge pilings and caught sheepshead, catfish, and drum. I haven't caught any flounder with this method but I am sure it can be done. Good luck.
I've never used them for drop shotting but should work fine for suspended fish. I plan to give it a try myself...they've worked well most every way I've used them.
I'm going to try that soon myself. I think they will work great on a drop shot. Just make sure to get the right type of weight for the conditions (rocks, etc.) I'm going to use 1 - 2 ounce bottom bouncers to get thru the current and hopefully keep from hanging up so much.
