Gulp Peeler Crab info needed

[akasephiroth]

Through some connections on ebay ive came accross a sweet offer on these:

Im looking at a very cheep case of the above but what i need to know is, are they worth it?
I have used the Shrimp and they work pretty good but ive never used anything outside the shimp, and when buying more shimp then offered these bye the case load it made me question the worth of the product, the same person has also offered me the Glup Sand Flea but did not provide much info on them.

Gulp crabs and fleas work pretty good off bridges and surf.

They should work ok but I would rather have the DOA crab on my hook.

I know where some bull reds are that would eat that freelined at night - if the price is right and u like - get it

I tried the gulp crabs (cause there are a lot more in a pack than the shrimp), and didn't have much luck. I fished them side-by-side under cork with the gulp shrimp, and the trout took the shrimp over the crabs hands down. I'm sure the gulp crabs work great for somebody's fish, but not mine.

I haven't noticed trout to be much of a crab eater like reds are.

Someone gave me a box full of soft plastics last year. Various styles, colors, sizes and conditions. Mixed in with it were some bags of Gulps. I don't know how old they were or under what conditions they had been stored, but a lot of the Gulps were melted together inside the bag into a Gulp plastic, bag shaped blob.
