It’s Berkley Gulp time again!
The other day I posted a video giving you tips on how to save money with Gulp products.
I got a ton of good feedback and questions from that video, including this one:
Does putting non-Gulp lures, such as DOA’s, Zoom, or Z-Man’s in the Gulp juice make them more effective?
Check out the video below for the answer:

My best experience with combining baits was to add some of the oil based artificial lures into a bag of dead/thawed shrimp. That seemed to catch us fish just as well as fishing with gulp bait.
Love gulp for flounder and croaker,works better then live bait for me.But doesn’t seem as good on other fish so far.No it doesn’t work on other plastics for me.
i use it on my bucktail jigs. I dip it in the juice every dozen casts. its seems to help on the slow days. could just be my imagination.
A while back I moved my gulps into a container like you were using. But over time my gulp juice has decreased in the container. Does Gulp sell a bottle of Gulp Juice by itself to re-fill the container, without having to buy one of the large plastic “jars” of gulp baits to get more juice??
Also, are their different scents for the gulp juice (i.e. does the juice that jerk shads come in “smell” different than the shrimp comes in?)
Cheers!

Gulp is made with polyurethane technology, which can absorb water or some plant based oils as a plasticizer. The Gulp juice is designed to absorb into this urethane matrix. Most other baits are made with silicone which repels water or non silicone oils. I’ve tried it, it just doesn’t absorb it. I once tried to reverse engineer this stuff but my access to an IR spectrophotometer has gone away.
Thanks so much for making time to leave the insightful comment! That sure would have been cool to be able to make those baits.
That just answered my own testing results but I have found that the gels scents definitely work better on application to soft and hard bait I found and now use a new scent gel lip glu it comes in salt and fresh formulas

What are your thoughts about putting live night crawlers or other worms in gulp juice container
I have never tried putting natural bait in gulp juice, so I have no idea if it would be effective or not.
Something I learned years ago from a guy on the pro redfish tour, whether it’s gulp, doa etc etc, is to use a fine wire brush and poke tiny pin holes in the soft baits which will help absorb and hold the scent longer.
