Berkley Gulp Alive

[JD7.62]

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.

I own a bunch of it , and honestly "initially" it's costly but in reality it outlasts live bait so much it may be much less $$ "in the long run" and YES it works.

Leeches work great on jigs and Bottom Bouncers the bluegill etc. won't tear it off so you're fishing not dragging a bare hook which always helps IMO.

Now "two to one" I'm not sure about when they're "hot" and you're keeping live bait ON the hook . (which is much easier said than done)

I just bought some of the "crawdads" and they sure look pretty real too! Going to try them out tomorrow on Laurel River Lake with no bad luck
