It’s all been tried , but gulp hands down catches 10 times more fish .

And you will also see some if those companies making competing products are pulling their stuff off the market .

I use gulp 50-75% of the time, but i've definitely gotten annoyed with it, switched to other stuff and continued catching at the same rate (as well as a few times starting better catching). nothing in fishing is 100%, i wish it was, then i wouldn't have to buy 5 different versions of crap at the tackle shop haha.

I agree as there are times when I’m not doing as well as I feel/think I should be doing and will switch out a GULP for a Zoom Fluke or a Zman paddletail that I’ll dab some Pro Cure Flounder Pounder Gel on on start catching almost immediately it seems.

BUT was it the lure , the scent or the CHANGE of action using a different style tail ?

Most guys only fish one or two styles of gulp .
Conditions warrant using more than that .
Grubs , mullets , nemesis , paddle Shad’s can out produce the other tail styles at different times .

.

Same style grub (both 5 inch jerk shads)

Same conditions

Now you might be able to argue scent but aren’t both GULP & Pro Cure scented (not sure if the Pro Cure Flounder Pounder scent is the same as the GULP scent but Pro Cure also come in a variety of scents)

They both use a totally different type of scent .
Gulp material allows juice to totally soak inside it .

The stuff procure uses is made to stay on the outside .

Washed out gulp does not catch as well as freshly saturated baits do .

Reason I asked if tail was different as I have seen days here where they won’t touch a grub tail .
But the paddle shad gets pounded .
On slow drift days the nemesis will usually out fish both the grub and the paddle shad .
.
Conditions and what their forage currently is sometimes dictate what will produce best .

yeah, could be anything.... could even be all in our heads for what we know haha. some days i'll just stick with what's not working if it's worked in the past and it will end up saving the day towards the end. who knows. my gear is usually a hodgepodge of random different styles and brands of plastics so it is what it is i guess.
