The only time Gulp has worked for me is when I can get schooling fish bitting on live bait in a frenzy. Otherwise it's no better than any other plastic.


It's been decent for me. I've only used it a couple of times though, I don't like payin $7 for 6 plastic baits that don't last.

Usually I just buy a brand new bait. Costs pretty much the same as replacing the hook.

I don't, I just buy new ones. Fwiw, academy has the tkos, the same thing as DOAs on sale for $1.99 right now.

The bite has to be on, but if specks are in feeding mode they'll bite them just as much as live.
