The Berkley Gulp! Alive Jerk Shad is a versatile bait that appeals to game fish in all inshore waters. It combines a realistic wounded baitfish action with Berkley's highly effective Gulp! scented formula. The Jerk Shad's slender body and split tail create a darting action when twitched, making it irresistible to predatory game fish. This bait can be used with a weighted swimbait hook or jig head for optimal results. However, it also performs well when fished weightless and twitched across the surface.
Berkley's Gulp! Alive series features baits that come in a floating hard plastic container. These containers are filled with a special fluid, known as “Gulp Juice” or “Magic Gravy,” that has a formulated scent. This scent is absorbed by the baits and released into the water, attracting fish from a distance. The containers are resealable, allowing you to recharge the baits after using them for extended periods, ensuring they maintain their effectiveness.
