Luke Barnes Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 A few questions about Gulp. First. How does everyone rig the gulp minnows to target bass? Ive used them on a drop shot with good success but have to fight off sunfish from biting the tails off. Ive used them under a bobber before with ok luck. Is there really a difference in regular Gulp and Gulp Alive? Is it just the juice or the plastic itself? Ive got a pack of regular ones and thought about buying some gulp alive juice to recharge them. Or am I wasting my time on something better used for Panfish and need to stick with regular plastics?

EzyEric Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 They work great for bass. Alive is just them in a tub. Which is very nice as they won't dry out. One if my best and maybe under the radar techniques is one rigged on a 1/4 oz darter head. Jigged off the bottom with short hops. They would work well on a ned head too. 2 Quote

You know I was thinking about a ned head earlier. Good minnow profile and kinda drag and small hop it to look like a feeding minnow I thought. 17 minutes ago, bowhunter63 said: Hooked through the lips on a split shot rig Split shot rig is like a C rig but split shots and no swivel and leader?? Ive heard the name but never tried it. Quote
