Gulp Eels

[tjd2320]

Has anyone tried Gulp Eels for stripers?
Wondering if I should pick up a few packs in case we want to try a drift for bass.

It could get real expensive if any Blues are around. That is what stops me from trying them.

Live Eels are $2.50 each near me. That's pretty expensive, too.
My question was do they work?

 

[Leprechaun]

I've never seen them. How long have they been available?

 

[tjd2320]

I've seen them in tackle shops and on the Berkeley website for over 5 years.
Since Gulp products have gotten so "soft" lately, I'm hesitant to purchase these lures.

I tend to agree

I've never used them, but if I were you I'd give them a try with confidence. I have seen more species grab gulp baits, including striped bass on a bucktail targeting fluke. Not to mention a brown shark last week! They are devastating on a fluke so why not bass? I have tried their sandworms but they were much less successful than the real thing. I think they're making them too small. But the eel looks pretty good.

Now I'm going to have to buy some. I have a gulp problem.

 

[Leprechaun]

Yes. Yes you do.

You're not alone.
Can't pass a Gulp display in a store.
It's like a magnet......

I'm going to get some eels and give them a shot.

I hear ya George, I'm gonna have to post pics of the 9/ 48 oz containers I have full of gulp, My wife thought I was buying bags of candy. I said yes it's candy for Fluke, lol.
Oh by the way, I have tried the Eels, they work on fluke , but I never caught a bass on them, blues will definitely love them, they certainly love my grubs.

I'm starting to see a trend here. It must be something in the juice.
