Gulp Alive Question

[tgruenke]

I have a Gander Mountain giftcard burning a hole in my pocket. Was thinking about buying some gulp alive to use next year. Doeas anyone know if that product can lose it's ability to attract fish if it sits over time or is it best to purchase right before you plan on using it.

Thanks

its fine sitting in the solution for a while. it does dry out quickly if you have it out of the solution

if its anything like regular powerbait, it's good indefinitely!

Always good to have along for those days when you just can't keep minnows alive, or when fast bite is on, as they stay on better than live minnow. Had fair luck with the product. It's just handy to have in the box or boat.

I love the gulp alive i havent had problems catching fish on them. The fish don't seem to notice if there old as long as there in the solution. If you leave it out and one dries out i have a few times gotten in back by leaving it in the solution but I usually just throw them out. I would recommend getting some. There something you can always have with you.

I agree that once out of the sauce they dry out fast and hard, I used them alot last summer with great success, if you have kids be aware if they are fishing for panfish, you won't do much fishing, you will be taking fish off hooks. went out with my 2 kids late last summer and didn't get a line in the water for 2 hours, plain hook with a grub below a bobber was alot of work/fun.

Like the others have said, the stuff lasts forever if you don't let it dry out. One thing to watch for with the tubs and jars is that you get them sealed tight, so the liquid doesn't leak out and make a mess of whatever it touches!

that is a good point dont peel of the seal cut out a hole so most of the seal stays there other wise just make sure you keep them up right

[Dourque]

I agree with the idea of not peeling the foil seal off, talked to one of the reps last spring and told me of the leakage problem if the seal is peeled, I cut an x shaped pattern in the bigger tubs and leave the seal on with the small jars and have had no problems whatsoever with any leaking.

tgruenke, I have packages of Gulp that are 3 years old, will be 4 this summer and still use it. On the Gulp jars I also just cut an x in the foil seal, but I also keep all the jars (4) in a cheap square dish-pan with high sides. I've had jars flip over when running rough water and still leak, even with the foil seal still there. The dish-pan will not stop the leaking, but it sure makes clean-up alot easier.

I have used both the GULP in the bucket and the Gulp in the bag and it seems the bag stuff works better
