RE: New lure...Gulp
Chuck, when I fish down there I would usually lose a worms tail to a dang ole mud fish. I could tell because they don't bite like a bass, they take the worm and just swim with it, no biting at all and the tail usually comes up missing.

ORIGINAL: Chuck7
I picked up a fishermen fishing off the shore this morning just for the heckof it..He was a new fishermen and Sports Authority equipped him with a light 6 foot rod and reel..His bait was a 7 inch Gulp purple turtle back worm...he was fishing that thing as fast as a Rattle Trap..
I showed him how to tie a Palomar not and tried to show him how to bump his worm slow..I had 6 hits with my Gambler and lost only one..He had over 15 hits but caught none..BUT I was amazed of how aggressive the bass were over his worm.Theywere ripping the tails off. I was so impressed I went to Walmart and bought 4 packs of their only color..Junebug..I let him use my medium Team Diawa MH and I was going to show my wife the 7 inch worm.he left on my rod..Well, it's 8:23 and the worm is now 4 inches..it has evaporated.[:-]Yep..the biochemicals desolve in water and the scent is supposed to be 400 times powerful than any bait..It does have an odor..like a can of sardines..I got about 6 bumps today..I'll let you all know how well I do tomorow.I'm fishing the same exact spots...and only using Gulp worms..Top water Trick rig in the wee morning hours and Texas rig / Carolina later ..as usual.They are not cheap..4.98 for 10[&o]

RE: New lure...Gulp
I have the exact opposite luck you had. I found them for $2 a pack at Wally World and picked some up last year. 3" Black Leeches work AMAZING for bass and walleye here. My only downside is I'm usually on canoe trips, and I often forget to put the Gulp! back in the bag, and I then end up with it all shrivelled up and hard. I think Gulp! has replaced live bait for me for all open-water fishing.

RE: New lure...Gulp
They are really not bad and they do catch fish..I just don't like the mess it leaves on your hands..and the rash it caused..I also don't like that I can't cast the worm hard without the hook cutting through the worm..I also don't like the price..
I had 12 bags off of ebay for 2.00 each..I cancelled my order. Too messy and smelly for me..U'm a Gambling man all the way..I have enough Gambler Worms for the next 2 years..These are Gambler Ribbon Tails.
