I heard you can soak them in their juice or even gatorade and they'll be good as new.

I used powerbaits for over a decade and found them to work ok. When Gulp came out it changed the game (according to the marketing lol). I use gulp normally now, and man does it stink! But it totally catches fish.

I'm mostly a live/dead bait angler so plastics are my backups. I'm loving the gulp minnows in varying sizes for bass on a drop shot rig. I've even used ripped pieces of the gulp minnows to catch panfish and perch, which were pieces that did not resemble any natural bait. The scent itself was enough to get them going so I was sold on the marketing when I brought in some fish.

I wouldn't use gulp alive simply because it looks messy. It looks like it can be a pain in the butt and things can go south if you drop the container in your boat (my boat has carpet floors). My dad uses gulp alive though and thinks they work "just fine".

Hey guys,

I have been having a lot of success with the Gulp Alive 7 inch worms on a Texas Rig. This is now my confidence rig!

I had to replace my shore fishing backpack because the Gulp Alive container starting leaking. They really do need to upgrade these containers.

A suggestion for those who have issues with the Gulp! Alive containers that naturally suck.

I started to use these urine sample bottles that I got from my doctor.
Perfect for storing the smaller gulp baits with liquid.
