Berkley Gulp! Alive Paddleshad – 4in – Pint – Black Gold - Review

The Berkley Gulp! Alive Freshwater Paddleshad is a soft swimbait designed to imitate a real fish and attract more fish with its lifelike tail kicking action and Gulp! scent infusion. Whether you're fishing in freshwater lakes, rivers, or streams, this versatile bait is highly effective in any scenario.

Unlike traditional lures, the Gulp! Alive Paddleshad has the ability to expand your strike zone by attracting fish that may be outside of the visible range. The Gulp! scent used in this bait is incredibly potent and has been proven to outperform other scented baits on the market. It disperses into the water, creating a scent trail that can attract predatory fish from far distances.

The Paddleshad features a realistic baitfish profile and a flattened nose, making it easy to rig with jig heads. Its boot-tail and minnow shaped body work together to create a realistic kicking action, even when retrieved at slow speeds. This action entices fish to strike, making it an irresistible bait option.

The Gulp! Alive series of baits come in a convenient hard plastic container that floats in a liquid known as “Gulp Juice” or “Magic Gravy”. This liquid contains a special scent that is absorbed by the baits and released into the water to attract fish. The resealable container allows you to recharge the baits and increase their effectiveness after extended use, ensuring that you always have a potent bait on hand.
