I spent $24 on 3 packs of gulp yesterday, nemesis and two 6" grub packs, every single one got destroyed in no time at all. Went back to the 4" swimming mullet, a staple for my fluke fishing, and those got ruined immediately as well.

I remember several years ago you could put on a 4" swimming mullet and literally get away with using 2 or 3 the ENTIRE day, and that included tons of shorts, sea bass, robins, etc. Every now and then you'd have to re-hook it, and it would look a little chewed up but those tails never came off.

I'm guessing they made too good of a product initially and needed to sell more. Really frustrating especially with what this crap costs and how you can't really buy it in real bulk.I'm seeing mostly $7.99 for a 5 pack of 6 inch grubs.

That's for a pack of 4 grubs... not even a pack of 5... The 6" swimming mullet are even worse now as they only have 3 in a pack.

On a side note, are there any companies that compete with Berkley and make a GULP alternative? Seem's like there's no competition. Great business opportunity...

They sell 8 packs in a variety of all their colors(similar to gulp's) for $44.99. I bought this but haven't used them yet to compare. They advertise that they're tougher than gulp and hold scent as good or better.

Been hearing mixed results from a product called American Stink...about 60-70% have been favorable reviews.

I haven’t tried it yet and will probably buy a few packs over next winter to try next year.

not exactly. but each color will appear as a different shade/tone/contrast in the fish's vision depending on light conditions and water clarity. They do see and feel that tail going and certainly TASTE the gulp! juice once it's close to or in its mouth!
