Gulp vs Live Shrimp vs DOA

[bman]

I have found the pearl white gulp is much softer than the glow, so I only buy the glow if I want a white Gulp. The pearl whites are almost as soft and destructible as regular soft plastic baits.

You may want to stock up.. word is they are discontinuing the glow.
I know Kevins has it in the big buckets

Your question is why they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Everyone has their own flavor, tastes and likes.

I like to fish live shrimp first. Crum's sells 5 dozen for $11.00. I would prefer other live baits, but you have to catch them.
Gulps come next and I like the new penny, but they all work. When you get on the fish, they will bite any color.
Never used the DOA shrimp but I have recently gone BG (before gulps) and used the bass assassins electric chicken, and candy corn soft plastics caught fish on those.

Sometimes I think we tend to over think and over spend this fishing addiction we have!

Speaking of Gulp, has anyone tried their new jigheads? They come with a keeper that they claim holds Gulp on better than any other jig, and they're also lead free.

I bought a couple of packs recently, but have yet to use them on the water. I slid a Z-Man Minnowz on one of the darter head jigs and it went right over the keeper with little to no issue, and yet locks into place almost as if it had been super glued. It actually seems to be a more effective keeper than the secondary barb Z-Man uses on their JigHeadz.

They appear to be a quality jighead, though they're a bit pricey and won't solve the biggest issue most of us have with Gulp, which are the tails and appendages being ripped off by nuisance fish.
