Gulp Sinking Minnow Bait

Gulp 5" Sinking Minnow Bait Berkley Gulp! Sinking Minnows can be fished weightless on a Texas rig or crazy style, cast to suspended fish or bass holding in cover and you won't have to wait long for some serious fish-fighting fun. With the action and durability of a premium soft-plastic and the scent and appearance of live bait, Berkley's Gulp! Sinking Minnow is irresistible to fish. Because fish live in water and every part of their anatomy is designed to work in water, fish cannot smell oily things. But just like the Gulp! baits are water-based, the Gulp! juice is water-based, as well. Not only does the bait release more scent, but the scent is actually easier for fish to detect.

When you put on a spray scent and cast it out and see that oily sheen comes off in the water, that scent isn't actually doing anything to catch the attention of fish. When a fish eats that lure it doesn't smell or taste anything. But when a fish eats Gulp! It picks up all the flavor and scent just like it would if it were eating a living creature.

That's why Gulp! Works: the fish actually think its real food so they hit harder and hang on longer. Gulp! Baits use water-soluble, natural ingredients that release over 400 times the amount of fish-attracting scent of standard plastic baits. The scent trail is so intense that fish cannot resist it.

After the bait hits the water simply let it sink. The bait has its own action and will wiggle and shake as it falls. When the fish strikes, generally there's little doubt, reel down and set the hook. If the bait settles to the bottom give it three or four jerks using the rod tip. Then let the bait fall free again. This gives the bait the look of escaping baitfish running to the surface, and with its powerful natural scent, it will attract attention... Gulp! Sinking Minnows can also be rigged Carolina style.

Whether fishing in freshwater or saltwater, you're guaranteed to find the right bait that has the right combination of shape, color, scent, and size to trigger more strikes than any other baits, including in many cases, live bait.
