Well I used to use live bait(shrimp or minnows) all the time. Now i have cut down on the live and started usin the Berkley gulp shrimp or mullet. They come in differnet sizes,colors, and different specieses. And they have a STRONG smell which works great. I will either a. put it under a cork b. put it on a jig head or c. free line on hook . I'll use them for every fish:bass, speckled trout, red, catfihs and flounder will even hit'em. Also have caught alot of other saltwater species like snapper, sheepshead on it also. So, has anyone evr used or heard of it?
