Thread: Gulp Baits?

I like the saltwater assassin plastics, but y favorites are soft freshwater swim baits

Anyone have success with the Berkley Gulp baits? Just wondering how they compare to live bait.

I've had very good sucess with the 3" Gulp Shrimp on flounder, redfish, white trout, black drum, ladyfish and (to a lesser degree) speckled trout, ground mullet, whiting and pompano.
Mostly the New penny color on a 1/4 ounce jighead.
This summer I experimented with the 2" Gulp Shrimp on a 1/8 ounce jig head to target whiting and was moderately sucessful.
Had a HUGE bycatch though :-\
And this year they all seemed to be 'softer' and tore more easily >

Anyway artificials seldom compare to live shrimp under 'ideal' fishing conditions but IMHO they are a great substitute and work well even in dingy water. :headbang:

And like Peaches I often prefer those plastic swim baits ;-)

Too much information has been givin in this thread, can't have anyone finding out my secret bait,

Quick mods kill the thread!!

Fwiw....The kietech swing impact line is the best swimbait I have tried. Both it and the fat impact have a strong squid scent. When I need a bait that gives a "thump" rather than a wiggle, its the go to bait for me.

Thanks for all the great info guys! Peaches, since this will be my first time Pier/Surf fishing, I'm pretty sure your secrets (and the fish) will be safe! LOL!

I've caught nice Bull Red's inshore, flounder at the pass, and specs like them too! I use them all the time and love them! Nuclear Chicken and New Penny colors work well for flounder!

Thanks Reid!

I had more success using 3X Redfish Magic by Strike king than using any other soft plastic. They are super tough, come in a lot of different colors. Use them with a 1/8 oz "bait holder" style jighead. I will give you that much, colors are my secret haha. :fishing:

they work great for just about anything, they were all i flounder fished with for years, and during season, you cant keep the trout off them :fishing:, though you only can catch about 2-4 trout max on one, the trout shred'em, and only 1-3 flounder on them, you normally dont get tham back from flounder
