Yeah really... All of a sudden you can't even catch ling without a giant gulp on the hook along with the bait.. Same with flouro leaders .. how did anyone ever get a bite on mono??... man ,,were we primitive .. bob

Just cured another batch of the gulp red salmon 5 inch in my Traeger Smoker along with a piece of fresh salmon to infuse the real salmon flavor into the gulp....
If the fluke don't like em tomorrow at least I have some gulp salmon jerky to chew on... These babies will stay on the hook forever.....

All the people working for Berkley got one of these this year because the people in New Jersey spent so much money on Gulp.

Lot of fish caught on the initial main colors pearl / white, glow, pink shine and chartreuse. All these new colors coming out might make a difference on a given day just having the fish see something different or maybe matching the hatch better but to me if you have the primary colors in your arsenal you'll always have a good chance any day on the water. Haven't tested the new colors so can't comment on their effectiveness but based on everyone's comments sounds like quality inspection was on vacation the week they launched. Unfortunately it's all about money, money, money money.......MONEY!

For anyone who stocked up on the new stuff and don't feel like going through the process of returning something to consider which I've used effectively. Any I assume we're talking about grubs here, not swimming mullet. Usually what falls apart is the tail, the base stays on. If that's true with the new stuff, buy some other grubs with comparable tails and when the Gulp tail falls off, cut just above the tail of the new grubs leaving maybe an inch of the main body. Thread that on the hook with the gulp body still on the shank until both butt up against one another. If you want, also buy some of the gulp spray bottle juice and give it one shot for added scent. Not necessary but I've done it. You now have the scent of the gulp, the action and attraction of the twister tail and added scent. To the other thread regarding hook size, I always go with 8/0 or 9/0, a 14" fish will inhale it so believe everyone who has said that size is not only not too big it will give you more hooking power on large fish. Plus with the added hook gap, if you really want to load up you can put a strip on it with the grub and still have plenty of gap left. Can't do that with smaller sizes.

It's a shame a company like Berkeley has to sacrifice quality for margin but that's why the Executives all have Hampton style homes.
