Hi Rex, It was probably a bit early to ask a verdict of the new Gulp Alive as it hasn't been on the market in NZ for very long. Appearance wise it certainly looks more lively especially the Smelt Minnows...they look just like the little baitfish that you see in the shallows. They feel slimy and smell like...well they smell just like fish bait.
There are a lot more 'baits' in a tub than you get in a packet. A lot of people are buying the tub so that they can put their other softbaits into the 'juice'. We have surfcaster's on our side of the coast that don't use 'normal' bait much anymore as they have had so much success using the gulp bait. In saying that...they are good at fishing and do a lot of it... and they catch good sized fish. I'm not sure if they have tried the new 'alive' gulp yet, but they do have a lot of success using the packeted gulp.. I don't want to sound like an informercial, I'm just stating facts..
