Questions about Berkley Gulp! Alive! Shrimp Assortment , 3-Inch

What colors are they?

Answer: The package describes the colors as New Penny/Natural Shrimp/Pearl White/Molting. The Pearl white worked well on Lady Fish. The natural worked well with Flounder.

are they really alive

Answer: No they are plastic and are immersed in Berkleys secret sauce.

Answer: Yes and they are delicious with garlic and butter.

Answer: now ,that's funny!

Answer: No, it is a flavored silicone lure.

Answer: No, not really alive. Just look very similar to live shrimp, and are immersed in "Gulp's" solution, which has 400 times the scent of real shrimp, thus, provoking a fish to be more likely to "gulp" this shrimp so you will hook it!

Answer: No they are not alive .

Answer: No. Gulp Alive! is a name of the product. It is a specially scented soft bait that is easily as effective as live bait.

Answer: I have not received them just yet. But they are not alive. They are covered in fish scent to make the bigger fish think they are injured prey.

Answer: Yes if you get next day shipping, otherwise they are dead.

Answer: Hahahaha!

Do these work well for flounder ?

Answer: They work great for flounder everywhere. Both Atlantic and Pacific (Puget Sound) flounder year these up. I normally run them in 12-18’ of water behind a 1/4oz chartreuse jig.

Answer: I heard they may, but I use them for Trout and Red fish, which they do. I use live shrimp a BB do are you ready... A piece of raw bacon for flounder.

Answer: You bet, try it on a bucktail or jighead. Go slow

One 11 oz container cost $19.99. Why does the 2 pack cost $99.95? Does not make sense.

Do they actually come in the 11oz bucket

Answer: Yes they do. Plastic container with a screw top. Bottom says 11 oz.

Answer: Yes, it does.

What are the dimensions of the container??

Answer: 3 to 3 1/2 diameter

Picture above showing the large bucket of gulp, if I order this will it be the larger bucket of gulp? I hate to order it and it will be something diff

Answer: This product was packaged in an oblong clear container when I bought them. I see that the new inventory is in a round container. I'm sure the product is the same but you may get a different container depending on the age of the inventory.

Answer: The container I received wasn't shaped like this. It was shorter and oblong but the quantity was as advertised.

Answer: Seems to come only in 11 once container, based on the description.

Answer: Honestly I don’t remember, I believe it was.

Is this strictly for salt water fishing or can it be used for lake/stream Trout?

Answer: There are 2 types of this particular product. One is marked and sold for saltwater only. Make sure you buy the other.

Answer: I use for both

How many come in container?

Answer: There was 3 of each in my container for a total of 12

Answer: I only got seven, less every time I order

Do you use them with a lead head?

Answer: Best to use them with a weighted jig.

Is this the biggest container they have?

what size jig head hook should you use with a 3 inch shrimp?

Answer: For inshore fishing for redfish or trout I use a 1/4 oz. jig head under a popping cork. The depth of the water, current, and what your fishing for dictates what weight jig head you use. Hope this helps!

approximately how many baits are in the 11oz assorted gulp shrimp bucket?

Answer: 12 or more

Its for use in fresh water too?

Answer: We use them in the Potomac river for catfish. That’s is why I was so disappointed they changed the formula. The bait is very soft now and doesn’t stay on the hook well. But it’s magical on those cats.

Why did it come in a flat package instead of tthe bucket pictured ?

Answer: That is the old packaging for the product. The product is the same.

How many come in container?

What's the best color for murky water?

Answer: Anything bright, I would say white out of the four colors above

Is this product for salt or freshwater fishing?

Answer: If it's the shrimp then it's for salt

Answer: It is for salt water

Answer: Salt water. Great bait!

How many come in the container? 11 oz does not tell you any thing.

Answer: 10-12

How do you know if you are buying 1/2 pint or a pint? You can’t shop the price so you don’t know if you are getting a good deal or not!!

can this be used for wallaye and bass fishing?

Answer: Not sure, we use for trout and redfish.

Answer: Don't know but it does work on specled trout and redfish

Hello,I just moved right on the beach so i'm a newbi to salt water fishing. How many of those shrimp come in that small tub?

does this come in the bucket as pictured?

Answer: No, it comes in a very small retangular shaped box. I would not recommend this - the picture is very deceiving.

Answer: No it does not and the photo is misleading or it's designed to make you purchase the product. The is still no mentioning of how many individual bait.

Answer: No it’s in a flat container

Answer: Nope and it is misleading and deceiving.

Product reviews of Berkley Gulp! Alive! Shrimp Assortment , 3-Inch

MrHessMan : Misleading picture

Not in the bucket as pictured. Comes in the shallower container.

Sarah Seymour : Very Unsatisfied

This is not the same as the picture. I received a small 3 oz size tupperware container with 12 shrimp. Sent it right back.

Voice the One : Not what was pictured

First, Gulp baits work great. Flounder, drum and trout love them. I have no problem with the baits. My problem is that it's advertised by the seller as the Gulp Alive Bucket, but like most other buyers, I got a smaller container with about a dozen baits in it. The buckets they are showing contain more, so the price per bait comes out pretty high. I would not recommending buying for this seller.

shai : Very fast shipping

Already had three fish on this shrimp and hoping for a great summer

Michael Welch : If there are fish these will catch them

Had success catchomg flounder, reds, and speckled trout with 3 inch white shrimp. May only buy live shrimp on occasionally now.

DJ Peters : Not a tub

Not a tub as described. Less bait than I expected.

Jason : One Star

Gulp is amazing, picture does not match actual packaging.

MrHessMan : Misleading picture

Not in the bucket as pictured. Comes in the shallower container.

OtesS : Five Stars

I paired it with 3/8 and 1/2 Oz jig heads and caught some snooks, reds and catfish.

Sigfredo Gomez : the closed to live bait

so far loving gulp products. they strong and hold for a while on the jig. very strong smell..and flavor (i'm guessing not that i tried them.....)fish devour these, even the pieces fish goes for it. Some people claim package leaks so i keep mine in a ziplock just in case but so far holding fine.

MaximumMustache : Solid but for the miney

Solid gulp! Shrimp and container.

Robert Pidgeon : Ok

Very durable but haven't caught anything on them

Maria : Container is not the same. Product rcvd not what pictured

Gulp works great..... however I bought this to get the bucket........ not the oval container ????.

Mike : Misleading product picture only 12 shrimp

Bad value! Picture is not what came in the mail! There are only 12 shrimp in here. For 20 bucks that's terrible. You can buy a six pack for five bucks this should have at least had 24 shrimp to be equivalent price that the standard six-pack price is.

Munskin2 : Very durable

How well they work and retain the scent

Hollis F. : Stay Away From Seller !

Dishonesty! Small container .! False advertising on photo of the larger pail .!! Stay away and do not buy !

Amazon Customer : Shipment fail

Plastic jar cracked in shipment rendering the lures useless.

Frank Hurst : They do not work! No matter how you fish them. Just another gimmick. Save your money.

Save your money, they don't work! Just another costly gimmick!

Amazon Customer : work well

works well bucket big enough to put partial used baits back in to re charge

DJ Peters : Not a tub

Not a tub as described. Less bait than I expected.

Amazon Customer : This was not quite the dream I expected

I caught one fish and damn near a cold!

Jason : One Star

Gulp is amazing, picture does not match actual packaging.

Hollis F. : Stay Away From Seller !

Dishonesty! Small container .! False advertising on photo of the larger pail .!! Stay away and do not buy !

Michael W. : Not what you think you ordered

The picture doesn’t fit the delivery what’s up with that. Bad advertising won’t buy from this seller again!!!!!

Lionbacker : Somewhat surprised at product delivered

I cannot yet comment at the performance of these shrimp. However, the product, as delivered looks nothing line the picture advertised. I received a squat, oblong plastic container, rather than the bucket with a handle that is shown. I am not sure if the quantity is the same, so a bit disappointed at what I was sent.

Lionbacker : Somewhat surprised at product delivered

Judy : Five Stars

Gift for a fisherman

Jose : melting lures

After using them once when you store them they melt/fuse together

Fishermen Never Lie : Fish, crab, everything in the ocean seems to love these things!

Fish, crab, heck even eel love this thing. It doesn't have much swimming action, but that scent seems to be absolutely irresistible for ocean critters. I sometimes go as far as sticking 1 or 2 in a crab pot to soak, as like the secret bait!
But yea, just throw it on a jig head and you're good to go! Bounce it around slowly, and fish will even come out of their hidey holes to strike it. Its pretty durable as well, standing up to eels tugging & ripping at it non-stop. These shrimp waaaaaay out last the , which can't seem to handle more than 4-5 fish before being torn apart.

Kenneth Ward : Great bait for redfish & specks

We caught our limit of redfish. Natural shrimp color worked best.

brittany135 : Great bait

Caught all kinds of fish in sound in outer banks! Fish love it.

Michael W. : Not what you think you ordered

The picture doesn’t fit the delivery what’s up with that. Bad advertising won’t buy from this seller again!!!!!

Jodi : Misleading picture

Not at all like the pic, they show the new package but send the old ones. Local Walmart would be better

txump : jig head

Gulp will catch you a lot of fish. but trying to find a jig head that will
work with them is not easy.. i give it a 5 because iv got a lot of fish of this stuff.

Jmort93 : Buy It!!!

Outfished my buddy and he had live shrimp.

Dennis Ray Day II : misleading

I haven't used these lures yet, but I have used them before from the packs and they are great lures. I bought these this time from Intercostal Sportsman seller on here. They are advertised as 18 oz, but they are 11 oz. Still a decent value considering the amount of shrimp you get plus the extra "juice", but be aware it's not 18 oz

Dennis Ray Day II : misleading

Tony : Five Stars

If they don't catch fish nothing will
