Are Berkley Gulp Alive for freshwater or saltwater fishing?

I would say that most any bait can be used for fresh or salt water. They make different variations of Berkeley plastics for each, but nobody is going to tell you that you can’t. Try it out and let me know how it works.

Johnny, the St. Johns is a great example! I am upset that I didn’t think of that. I used to live on Lake George and would catch redfish and bass off the same pier.

Yes, it does matter.

Freshwater Gulp is designed with amino acids, and “scent” designed to attract certain types of freshwater fish.

The importance of using a “baked in” attractant lure would be pointless if you decide to use Saltwater Gulp in freshwater or vice versa.

The only time it would be OK to use either one in a body of water would be if the area your fishing has “brackish” water and is both Salt AND Freshwater. (The St. Johns River in Fla would be a good example.)

UPDATE: I can catch Bass with a 6″ x 2″ piece of denim cut off my Levis, (drenched in Attractant). In fact, I once used two shoestrings wrapped together and fished Texas-rigged for Bass.

Did they work?

Yes.

Could I have caught 90% MORE if I had been using a REAL freshwater lure?

Yes.

The point?

Why would I use a lure that doesn’t give me the “opportunity” to catch numerous fish?
Besides, if your fishing in pressured waters your odds on catching ANYTHING with a “weird” lure diminish.

If your not utilizing the Berkley “flavor-enhanced, specially designed, baked-in, attractant” why USE THEM at all! Why not just buy some Walmart-Special freshwater soft-plastics on the cheap?

No. In fact, I’ve seen Shaw Grigsby use the Berkley Gulp! shrimp and a bass thought it was a crawfish. Sometimes the most effective lures are saltwater lures because it’s something different; it may be the same principle, but it’s not exactly the same. I have not tried it myself, but from what I’ve heard, it’s very effective.

Hope this helps. Tight lines!!

No.I saw bob izumi use 7 inch saltwater gulp for pike in the yukon.Shrimp would work for bass.In saltwater crayfish would work for a bunch of fish.Probably permit,bonefish,redfish,striped bass and many more.Worms would look like worms(no really?),eels and other stuff.They would work for Striped bass,Rays and other bottom and non bottom feeders.The smell helps but it still works without it.Minnows would look like minnows and other small fish.Yes it would work.Try it out!
