Gulp lures; better than live bait??? dubious angler wonders
 

alwaysfishking February 11th, 2005 08:38 PM

No sir I do not like them, the fact that they dry up like leather just swinging on your hook is enough to keep me away from them. I fished them a bit, not much luck with them.

Has anyone out there used the new Gulp lures? Is it possible that
they're better than Minnows, worms or crayfish as TV ads claim??? I need
to be convinced. Any opinions by users pro or con will be most
appreciated. Carl

I haven't found them to be any better than -- or even as effective as,
really -- plain old, unflavored, unscented plastic or salt impregnated
plastic.

But given the other topic of discussion here these days, this begs the
question, "Do Gulp worms suffer or experience more pain than live worms
when impaled on a hook?"

In MHO Rich, a Gulp worm must suffer more.
I mean their bigger right?So they must feel more "pain".
ROTFLMAO!

They both shrivel up when you stick a hook in them

First of all, not to be snotty or anything, but this newsgroup is text only,
no graphic attachments, plain text, not html. You might want to consider
changing your posting format if you're going to hang out on this newsgroup.

Now, I've used Gulp lures and I have caught fish. With that being said, are
they better than livebait? I don't believe so, not at least under the
conditions that I've used them. I've caught just as many fish with regular
scented and unscented soft plastic lures as I have fishing with Gulp
products.

I do find that the slimy texture causes them to slip on the hook moreso than
a conventional soft plastic and as has been pointed out in other posts, they
will dry out and harden if left on the hook. So I guess they are like live
bait!
