Gulp quality?

[jmurr711]

anyone else get any of the new colors this summer & find them to be softer than Joey Z at the Hillary Clinton national womens symposium? Had them falling apart from by baitholder barbs, switched to big o'shaughnessys & it didn't help much

They are Awful Murr. I want to return a few packs claiming they are broken. I am used to tails being bitten off, but it happens so easily its nuts.

They are horrible , some are worse than others

I have gulp from 2 years ago unopened and go to use it , no problem

This new crap forget it

The purple and black stuff cajun chicken is the worst

Been noticing the past few years all the gulp got much cheaper and softer... but of corse the prices keep rising.

Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply.I had to throw away a few of the curry chicken grubs they just fell apart. I noticed keeping it out of the sun helped a little , guess its time to get a cooler for the gulp ahhaha

I tried fire tiger color, absolutely terrible. Most of them were deformed and a bit hollow inside.

For what it’s worth, I just spoke to a reliable source that all these new color gulps were not cured long enough because they wanted to rush them to market to start selling... and this was from a distributor.. of course in a court of law this is just here say so who knows

Forget gulp. Z-man with a little fin essence.

Yep,,,curing is the issue.
Just bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 250 degrees to finish the cure and toughen them up.

Split Shot, Eddie G got it right "The cost keeps rising". Years back, Gulp stayed on the hook. Was reasonably tuff. Funny, each year another "what's with the gulp thread starts". The faster it falls apart, the faster you have to buy more. They figured out how to make this stuff, they can go back to what it was, but then.,.,. sell less. They just need some competition.
