I’ve caught a 6 lb spot with a gulp turtle back worm at Skinner before but nothing on a sinking minnow.

Even if you like and have faith in Gulp!, it is not user friendly. You can’t put your Gulp! rigged rod down and make a few casts with an other rod like a reaction bait. Or some other more situational rig and then return to the Gulp! rig. It turns to hardened shrunken junk that may require a carving knife to remove.

Jay Yelas seems to be a true class act. His candid observation of the deficiencies(de-fish-encies) of one of the products of his sponsor lends support to my opinion of him and his credibility and integrity.This is a refreshing contrast to hucksters that will hype and put their name on anything.

I have to say that I agree pretty much with what Jay says as he has been a friend of mine for a while, but in the Potomac River I have caught numerous BIG bass on Berkley Gulp on several occassions when i didn’t catch them on other baits. I also caught two really HUGE largemouth on purple Gulp sinking minnows from two Delaware lakes that are notoriously hard to catch big bass from. ??

I agree 100%. For freshwater fishing, absolutley a pain in the rear.
I do use their sandworm line for taking the kids surf fishing though….They work really well for perch and croaker.

Great for Saltwater bass and smallmouths.

Largemouths….. stick to the other stuff.
