I'm a BIG Gulp fan. Of course I'm interested in an alternative. I purchased a bunch of packs of the new Stink. They have NAILED the size, shape and color mimicking the GULP perfectly. Another plus, the stink seems to have a slight buoyancy... in other words, they do not readily sink when hung on a dropper in still water which may enhance the jigging action. Another big plus, durability wise - they are tough. On the minus side, the juice it comes soaked in seems to be an oil that will quickly wash off... the Stink is rubbery as opposed to more the organic and absorbent Gulp. The thing to do I believe with the stink is too apply a smelly gel like "PRO CURE" and or add some felt or sponge washers ahead of the Stink grub on the hook. The felt or sponge washers should be soaked in gulp juice. I will be trying this out and we will see what happens. I am pissed that Gulp changed the formula and made them softer and way less durable which has opened the door for stuff like STINK to get a foothold.
