For SW, the Gulp Alive is all that and a can of worms. It REALLY DOES outfish live. Many SW anglers actually joke that using gulp alive is cheating.

Last winter I used the Gulp minnows on jigs for sauger and fished sidexside with a regular ole curly tail the gulp consistently put more and most noticeably bigger fish on the stringer, including my PB at 24"! I am a firm believe that at least the Gulp minnows is the best plastic for the river for sauger, I have yet tried the Alive version in FW though.
