One of Gulp's big advantages is that it stays on the hook better than real bait. When fluke jigging, this means you don't have to worry that you lost your bait when you miss a hit. Just keep bouncing the jig. The time when you've just missed a hit is the worst time to be pulling your line from the water to check your bait

I can no longer agree with the above statement. Berkley changed the gulp formula this year to be much softer. Any 4" sea bass can now destroy a 6" gulp grub with a little nibble. You better worry if you lost your bait because it is probably gone, or at least the tail.
I can understand their business model, make it softer, lose more , buy more, more profit.
I still have a lot of old gulp that you have a hard time getting on the hook as well as a lot of new stuff that slides on and off with zero effort.
I used to be a fan but I know when I'm being f***ed, so i'm done with it.
