Looks ALIVE, tastes ALIVE, feels ALIVE -- because your bait actually "lives" in a natural, super-charged GULP solution!
It's softbait in a bait bucket! Because these super-realistic biodegradable Berkley Gulp! Alive! Shrimp actually "live" in a high-octane Gulp! solution, they absorb up to 20% more attractant. That's 20% more scent, more taste, more action and more reason for fish to snap them up! Each super-charged Gulp! Alive! Shrimp bait disperses its potent essence like a blood trail in the water, and when you’re done catching, you can simply put your Gulp! Alive! Shrimp back in the bucket to recharge for another day!

These things are amazing. Use em like live bait on a hook, hook em backwards on a hook, or a jig head. Down here in the Tampa Bay backcountry New penny is where it's at! Throw em on a 1/8 oz jighead and skip em under the mangroves, or on a 1/4 oz jighead in the grass flats. If you saltwater fish use them!!!! Buy the tub and catch big fish

Back to the tougher formula. Lasts longer. For a while they were spongy and would be torn up on the first fish, or would split on a jig head.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Dreadneck Live bait better?
I'm on the fence about this bait. I've heard great things from fellow anglers, but my luck has been about 50/50. Mostly use it for inshore perch, but skrimp or squid works just as well. I also noticed some molded in my tackle box after a couple weeks, nasty. It is easy to use. I've chopped it up and baited a sabiki with it and has results. Wish it worked better.

The new gulp formula is pathetic. I have fished with gulps for several years, since they first came out. They used to last for several fish and were impossible to pull off the jig. This new biodegradable politically correct formula is so soft, one fish destroys them. At around a buck apiece, it is not worth it. Fish still love them, but they are way too soft and easy to pull off the jig by tail biters.

It seems that almost any fish in the Gulf will eat a Gulp Bait. I have caught Trout Mackeral Shark all on Gulp BaitsA:Â
i use it for flounder trout and red drumA:Â
Ive caught trout,and reds on this bait as well as snapper and salt catsA:Â
If you slow roll this over the bottom with a jig you can catch Reds and Flounder... It also works on reds with a gold tone spinner and faster retrieve. Ive also caught snook and trout.Answers

Not on carry on. Put it in your check in luggageA:Â
Not as a carry- as far as I know. If you do add them to your checked baggage, I do recommend the Gulp Alive Bait Management System by Plano. Definitely a great investment to prevent the Alive juice from leaking out on everything.Details:Â
I am a beginer surf fisherman and I am wondering what color would be the best. I own Gulp! shrimp in the 13 color/ yellow and red. Would that be a good color and how should I rig it. Please help me!Answers
A:Â
I have great success with the pearl while 3 inch shrimp. Put them on a 1/8 or 1/4 once red rig head. Just cast out and let it settle to whatever level you want. Goes down at about a foot a second if you know the depth your fishing. On sand I let it settle to the bottom but if grass flat I try and keep it off the grass [ dah]. Just lift your rod tip fairly slowly and let it settle. Retrieve at a fairly slow pace. Good luck.

New Penny is your winning ticket. Rig it just as you would a fresh dead shrimp. In TX and LA its best put under a popping cork with a 18-24" leader either on a 1/8-1/4oz jig head or a hook.A:Â
I perfer new penny. I rig with a shrimp lead head and retreive slowly on the bottom. Molting or pearl also work, but New Penny color is the best I found.A:Â
a good color is new penny all around. i would rig it on a heavy jig headA:Â
If you catch a pompano run, this works well with a double drop rig on a piramid sinker. 3/4 or 1 oz is usually adequate, but it depends on your rod, distance of surf, and strength of current. Switch colors until you find what they are bitingA:Â
I tried the new penny color at the Outer Banks last week and did not get a strike on them but caught lots of fish on real shrimp, I wouldn't waste your money.Details:Â
Mainly channel cats... Have had fair results on catfish with shrimp... just curious if anyone knows how well these may workAnswers
A:Â
Tried for cats with them and didn't do too well. Mostly in ponds and small lake's, I think a larger body of water than we have here in S. GA you could have some luck with them.Q:Â

Is there any difference between the 3" Gulp Alive Shrimp in the bucket and the Gulp Saltwater in the package of 6?
Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
Techinally, no, but get the alive. Since you have the liquid to soak them in they last forever!A:Â
Same shrimp, just alot more juice. Real good if you are trying areas and moving. helps keep your bait fresh plus its a better value.A:Â
yes, the ones on the bucket are much easier to rig.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
The only difference I could notice ( I purchased both) was that the 6 pack didn't have as powerful of a scent. The shrimp in the bucket had a much more powerful scent when I purchased them and I had more luck with them. I personally like actual live shrimp when I fish and probably would't buy either again.Details:Â
Has anyone used any of the Gulp products in the surf. If so, how well do they hold up and jig size used.Answers

A:Â
Its the go too bait lure for the surf! Throw it under a popping cork and you are set!A:Â
I have used them several times and they work pretty well. they hold up great, the weight of the jig head depends on your gear. you need to be able to cast it past the breakers and retreive slowly.A:Â
I wouldnt use it in the surf but maybe around the jetties for snookA:Â
I used the new penny on a Carolina rig to be able cast it on a bigger rod. The gulp was on a 1/2 oz black jig head and caught nice drum right up in the wash. I didnt have any problems with them falling apart and worked very well.Answers

New penny for daytime, Pearl white at nightA:Â
light colors in clear water and dark in darker water.A:Â
When using Gulp shrimp, I prefer the 3" size. The color I have had the absolute best results on is in New Penny on a 1/8 - 1/4oz red jig head or weighted jerk hook. I encounter water from stained tea and coffee to gin to clear. The two other colors I keep on hand are Nuclear/Electric Chicken and Pearl White.In the colder months, work them slow and easy, as fish are a bit more lethargic. If used under a popping cork, hook through the middle and jerk/pop it a few times every other minute to attract attention.

You could hook it like a worm, but I think it works a lot better if you hook it grub-style on a jighead or through the middle for a popping cork or with a weight up the line.
