| | yea i know berkley products are higher on there main site i dont use much gulp, i like lunker sauce it cost more but a tube of it last me a long time i use one tube a year and it cost about 12 bucks for a tube of the soft plastic one and 9 bucks for the gel for hard baits and i can get it in crab, shrimp, shad, sardine and mullet. i think there both good products but in the kayak i find it easier to use lunker sauce because i dont get the smell all over my hands and shirt when im rigging in the kayak while sitting down i spill the gulp alive jars in the kayak and when the boat com by and shake me all around some people just have no respect for others i my area and they come by as fast as they can and get you all wet and splash water all over while im paddling. |

| | I was reading on the gulp alive quart of shrimp not to mix gulp alive with other baits i was going to put some doa shrimp and shad tails in the container does anyone know why this is becuse on their alive spray bottle says it can be sprayed on all type of lures and to do so every 10 to 15 cast so is the formula different or is berkely trying to get me to buy just there products or does t putting other lures in the tubes effect the gulp shrimp etc because they arent plastic they are some biodegradable stuff? |

| | They just don't want you using their attractant like we all do anyway. You can literally throw 10 different kinda of bait in the bucket at once with no ill effects. Take any old soft plastic swim bait and toss em in with your shrimp, and you've a mobile Gulp Alive bait can. I've got the sand fleas, crabs, minnows, and shrimp, along with generic 'mart baits' all in one bucket and I see no depletion of hook-ups. I've been rigging drop shot style (don't use a pyramid weight) and the Gulp fleas and crabs up the line on flourocarbon with a twitch here and there, and you'll catch many different fish with that rig. Even timid Sheephead will eat those crabs if you work em right. Also works GREAT in the flats worked with a real slow jigging motion for Reds. I even got a stray Pompano with a sand flea near our jetties working that rig. And the baits last f-o-r-e-v-e-r, (unless the Spanish take a liking to it) that why they say not to put it back in the bucket. So you run out faster and but more bait. Try it out. |

| | I was reading one of the tubs and now they suggest "recharging" your gulp baits in the juice. lol Seems like they can't make up their minds. As far as the "flavor" all the baits use the same enzyme that is supposed to trigger the feeding of fish. They work, but I find DOA more durable. I won't even begin to claim I stick to one bait, I have no reason to. I use both GULP and DOA, and other plastics. I also use lunker sauce. I even use live and cut bait. I'm not sponsored by anyone, I don't really fish tournaments, and all I care about is catching fish. (not even so much keeping fish, just catching.) If it puts more fish on the end of my line, it's done its job, regardless of what I use.  I'm a swinger when it comes to baits. If one thing doesn't work in an area i KNOW there are fish, I switch up until I find what does. Sometimes it's a problem though, as I have to figure out what to try... I've really started limiting my choices on some trips.

| | If you've seen Trim-Tabs tackle suitcase, you will know what he means about having to decide what bait to start with.......I think the man is a collector of fishing tackle...... I know one thing......I don't offer to carry his tackle bag any more....I'll take the cooler or a trolling motor battery any day over his tackle bag! chumhead

| Hi, I'm new to this forum. My tackle box smells of the stuff becuase of the "bucket" leaking. For anyone interested, I fixed the problem with a couple of wraps around the threads with some white plumber's tape you buy at any hardware store. As for, does it work, love the stuff. Last week I caught a 19" flounder with a Molten color and as I was removing the jig he continued to injest the Gulp. This has occurred with both the reds and trout I've caught. I guess they still want their meal after the fight. My deciding factor for the price was when me wife caught and landed a sting ray while letting her jig sit; I thought they only ate live or somewhat fresh dead shrimp. Oh by the way, it's not GULP ALIVE, it's "stinky shrimp" as my wife refers to it when my she asks the sale person. |

| | Welcome to the forum littlekid (since you mentioned your wife, I assume you're not a little kid, lol) Excellent suggestion! Once you break the seal on the Alive! shrimp, you cannot seem to get it to stop leaking. I put mine in a big zip-loc bag and make sure they sit flat to keep it from leaking, but I'm going to throw my plumbers tape in the boat box and give it a try when I go out later today....>THANKS! chumhead
