A distributor gave the owner of a local tackle shop near me a lot of "Gulp!" baits. These are not DOA's but are a "non-plasitic" plastic bait that has a strong smell and will bio-degrade over time. Great concept but did not have much luck with them.
He gave a bunch to me to try. Various types. I rigged them simply as a second hook on a classic dual hook bottom rig and had a fresh squid bait on the lower and various of these gulps on the upper hook (about 24" off the bottom) I did not have much luck and I would say 90% of the fish I got that day took the squid. Even when I lost the squid bait the plastic shrimp would go unmolosted for a long time and sometimes not get a touch. To be honest...I thew them all away when I got home. I know a lot of guys swear by them but they have not worked well for me.
I may try them again sometime but not this year. I am sure your mileage will vary with these things, great concept but I couldn't get a scup to eat one...something is wrong.
