I actually started out not being a big fan of the Berkley Gulp baits. And it wasn’t because I wasn’t catching fish on them, I just wasn’t using them because I found them too expensive for my budget.
But once I finally gave the Berkley Gulps a whirl, I was sold. And the cost was (and has been) completely worth it to me in terms of my bait:fish ratio.
Gulp Jerk Shad baits can be incredibly effective when rigged properly. However, they can be a complete waste if you don’t rig them properly or maintain them.
Fortunately, the setbacks of Gulp Jerk Shads are easy to overcome. This video explains the rigging aspect and I’ll include a link below to an article that covers the proper maintenance.
For rigging a Gulp jerk shad, the most important factor is allowing the bait to maintain a straight profile once hooked so it doesn’t twist in the water… a twisting bait is bad for drawing strikes and it significantly increases the odds of getting a frustrating wind knot in your line while out on the water.
So check out the Gulp Jerk Shad video for rigging details, and then click on this link to learn how to maintain your Gulp jerk baits in addition to how you can easily catch tons of bait fish with them once their normal usage expires.
