gretsch Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Gidday Raiders, I finally got my mits on a bucket of Gulp Alive 4" Minnows inthe Chartruese colour. I am going to test them on Flatties this weekend. Full report will be posted next week. They are expensive. 30 bucks ofr the small bucket. I reckon it contians about 20 minnows... maybe 25. Anyway, they seem a lot more supple than the usual plastics. I guess time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many colour varieties were there (from memory!?) Cheers Roberta They come in two sizes. The larger size is $39.95 and you obviously get more in that one. How did you ever manage to find a shop that stocked GULP ALIVE in Sydney? *Ahe Ahem IFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretsch Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Good luck with them! I reckon they'd go ok on jewies too! Put up a pic of them! I thought there were supposed to be 35 in a tub?? How many colour varieties were there (from memory!?) Cheers Roberta Roberta, They had around 10 colour variations and many patterns. The guys at the tackle shop said they didn';t order the full range so I imagine there are some weird and wonderful styles available. I had a quick look at Berkley dot com and they seem to have many combinations. Some of the patterns I saw today I hadn't seen before but then again, I am no plastics expert. This is all new to me. It is always good to learn new techniques. They come in two sizes. The larger size is $39.95 and you obviously get more in that one. How did you ever manage to find a shop that stocked GULP ALIVE in Sydney? *Ahe Ahem IFS I just stumbled in and there they were!!!!! Good luck ceph!!! Im waiting with baited breath!!!! pun intended Fantastic pun there.. I am hoping they a reel good!!! I'll see your pun and up you a pun.....

Davemmm Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 My cynicism is now to be fully tested. I happened to stumble over these today as well. Not only was I suckered in but got an extra tub free as they had burst whilst unpacking. There is still most of the fluid in the tub but as the label and tub where spoiled he couldnt sell them. First in so I got them. That made it about $14 a tub for me As I have had very limited success with sp I am approaching these without a real clue. I think there is more to way people fish them than the actual product. Those that fish regular with them for regular success have obvously developed a fishing style that works well whilst blokes like me that do it rarely will still struggle even with the bees knees product. Time will tell. Fortunately I have a pretty good fishing partner on Thursday who will certainly give them a thrashing. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylo Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Any reviews/comments on these yet ? I saw them and they look pretty cool but SEEM to be quite expensive .. but not expensive if they yield lots of fishies. If you are interested and don't know where to get from you can PM me for store details as I won't post online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the tub. I caught 6 flatties on the pumpkin seed 4" minnow on Saturday. The other guys in the boat caught flathead on squidgies and regular Gupls too.. I still maintain that any fish resembling plastic will catch a flathead if fished the right way in the zone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Well done, Ceph - glad you got into some fish on them! Even better, Dave, getting that extra tub for free!!! Makes it more worth while! Cheeers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirks Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Maybe next time your out, take a mate and compare them head to head with the regular gulps. Fish the same colour, size, action etc and compare the hookups. Good to see some fish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fished side by side with mates before and we used same rods, same reels, and fishing lines, and even same bait and lures, the results are not always remotely equal, I believe some people just have better luck than others on certain days. penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been out with mates who are complete novices and they have caught fish and I have been the net master. It is very disconcerting at times.

Rockyjack Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I was pretty dissapointed with the range that they had here in Port Mac but ended up buying a pack of 3in black and clear minows. There action was pretty good but they preformed the same as the ordnary gulps. after 2 days fishing gulps, gulps alive and squidgy's although i was supprised to see that the squidgys acutaly out fished both of the gulps. The only thing that could improve the gulps alive would be if the tub did't leek. i am also keen to see what will happen in you drop you gulps or squidgys into the tub as well?
