I haven't tried them either. I'm sure they would work well, but I'm surprised no other company has come up with any real competition for Gulp yet.

Just got off the phone with Lyn at KEVINS' OUTDOOR SHOP.
They have the TRIGGERX in stock in pink,white,rootbeer/gold and natural.
They come 8 to a pack for $5.49 in the 3" and 4 to a pack in 4".
Better get you some, he said they are going fast, but he has plenty.

Thanks, Redphisher and Jumptrout51. RiTO Kevin's. I bought a pack of 3" natural shrimp. Hope I can get those little fellers on a jig. Will try them side-by-side with 3" Gulp on Sunday or Monday. Will report findings.
